Recommended: Litrature review on character education

_I believe I have been demonstrating the six pillars of character in the PASB Community more than people might think.To show respect is to be well-mannered and caring towards your fellow peers and authorities, “treat others the way you want to be treated”, that’s what I believe in and follow through my everyday life as I associte with others. With this in mind, I have never being into trouble due to my actions in PASB, and I try to trouble the ones around me as little as possible. Additionally I’m one of the few people who say “Good morning” and “Good afternoon” to the cleaning staff, for the sake of manners and citizenship . Henceforth my effort to be respectful in regards to the environment and to manifest myself as a good Citizen. I one …show more content…

In addition, as mentioned before, I am not ashamed to admit my mistakes and I will pridefully do it if they are harming someone other than myself. I show Caring for both my friends and teachers by taking care to ask for their well being should they miss a class without warning, also in my personal life, I care for my sister when my mother can’t do it, and am the nurse and caretaker for all the animals I have at home should one be wounded or sick, and if the worst comes to be, I am the one to bury them and decorate their graves. I demonstrate fairness for being one of the few in the class who stands up to bullying and mean jokes, such as the latest one in which other students took and hid the pencil cases of one another, I always tried to give it back to them if it was passed on to me, and if it was one of my friends, I always tried and recuperate the lost items from the “robbers”. I consider myself to fit into the paper of an NJHS model student, and hope to inspire others to try and be role model students as

    Camera work plays a key role in establishing Nolan's style in the opening scenes of The Dark Knight. The different shots Nolan uses gives the audience a deeper understanding of the direction in which the film is going. We are introduced to the film with an establishing shot of Gotham City, as the camera zooms in on one particular building. This helps establish the location and setting, as there are several skyscrapers present and it is day time. The next important shot in the opening scenes is when the camera zooms in on a man's lower back and mask, standing at the corner of a road. Nolan uses this shot to signal to the audience that this man is involved, he is in the centre of the frame therefore he will be important.

  • Motivation In The Classroom By Edmundson And Freire

    1238 Words  | 3 Pages

    Are we encouraging them to be their best selves, or fit in and be like everyone else? Edmundson (2015) describes his students as desperately “trying to blend in, to look right, not to make a spectacle of themselves.” (Edmundson, 2015, p. 393) Edmundson (2015) also excitably describes a specific student, one that “is a singular…” (Edmundson, 2015, p. 391-392) Whose singularity doesn’t hold him back; it propels him forward. This student “decided to follow his interests and let them make him into a singular and rather eccentric man; in his charming way, he doesn’t mind being at odds with most anyone.” (Edmundson, 2015, p. 391-392) Motivating teachers and students to desire this type of attitude towards their learning experience will enable them to do more than listen, learn, repeat. “Students want to feel connected to and supported by their instructor, and when they feel this, students gain intrinsic motivation to learn.” (Sedden, & Clark, 2016) Sedden and Clark (2016) also explain that there is a significant potential for higher grades when the “instructor used humor, developed a rapport with the learners, provided an open atmosphere where students were free to ask questions and argue viewpoints, and exhibited high expectations of the students.” (Sedden, & Clark, 2016) Considering how important this factors into the learning experience, there should be more importance directed toward this improvement in the

    Many people think that you can enjoy life if you are tied down by a bunch of rules. In my opinion, I think having high moral standard for myself as an educator towards my students and to the public eye is very important to me. When I become an educator my reputation is on the line every day. Whether it’s how I dress or how I speak, no matter what I do I am being watched. I have come to terms that I am perfectly okay with that. Agreeing to Association of American Educators, I recognize that it is my duties are to communicate to parents all information, manifests a positive and active role in school/community relations, not willfully make false statements about a colleague or the school system and effort to protect the student from conditions detrimental to learning, health, or safety.

  • High School Career

    1001 Words  | 3 Pages

    While at Jesuit, I have “contributed to my school community quite a few times.” An example of my contribution to the community was when I helped with building a house through the charity Habitat for Humanity. The baseball team was given the opportunity to work on building a house, and it sounded like a fun thing to do with my friends. My friend Quinn and I were assigned the task of nailing the siding to the back of the house. We had to climb up to the top of twenty foot ladders in order to reach the top of the house, which was very scary. Then, while balancing on the high, unstable ladder, we had to nail four nails into each piece of siding. Even though the work was not easy, helping those less fortunate gave me a sense of pride in myself and my school. Also I feel I have become more capable of “putting myself in another’s place and understanding what that person is feeling”. Jesuit has taught me that everyone is different and has a unique situation. Before Jesuit I was quick to judge others, but now I am more understanding of what other people feel. When I saw a fellow student being bullied, I felt the same pain as him, because I had been in the same situation. Because of my experiences, I no longer laugh at kids when they are bullied and I stick up for them where possible. Finally, I am learning the harsh truth-- “not all friendships are long-lasting”. An example of my better understanding and of friendship and its unpredictable ways occurred as soon as I arrived at Jesuit in 8th grade. In 8th grade I was bullied for reasons that I am still not aware of. The people who I thought were going to be my friends until at least the end of my high school years had turned on me in the blink of an eye. It was a terrible feeling, but everything happens for a reason and some good came from this bad situation. I began to make new friends and sit with new people at
