Baty 1 Hola, I am your typical twenty-year-old college freshman. Ha-ha, sike! I am anything but typical. I am an introvert, but I am determined to stand out from the crowd. I am determined to reinvent myself regardless of what society may have to say about my decisions. Once I have spent four or five years of my life and thousands of dollars, that I do not have, on a college education I fully intend on being a high school theater teacher. A lot of people think I am crazy for pursuing that field. I mean, how many people want to deal with high school students? They are rude, disrespectful, as well as at their most vulnerable point in life and in need of guidance. Had it not been for a few of my high school teachers, I doubt I would be writing this essay. We need more teachers who want students to be …show more content…
I honestly have no idea what program I will choose to associate myself with, but chances are it will be a sport or a creative writing club because those are my interest. Whatever I choose though I plan to create a safe and open environment so that the students will feel comfortable enough to reach out to me and discuss issues and troubles that they may be facing in their home lives. I want to be more than just an adult to my pupils, I want them to see that I came from beginnings the likes that they are experiencing now and that things get better. What I intend on giving back to my community isn’t going to come in the form of money nor materialistic things, but in the form of hope. Hope for a brighter future, hope that our youth will do what we never could do, hope that one life has been saved by a kind listening ear. It is often too easy for someone to get money and let their life revolve around it, when the things that truly matter cannot be found in a store but inside one
If I got lost in a desolate desert, I would survive because I value things that are essential and beneficial for survival. King Tut would have died if he got lost because he values items like gold and jewelry, whereas I bring the essentials. This is a good habit because money does not bring happiness into anyone’s life. It is the moments that they spend with their family that bring true happiness into their lives. When people value material possessions greater than their own or their family survival won’t live a happy life.
With the help of the Me To We team at Queen Street Public School, I volunteered at a local food bank. The experience was quite educational and fascinating. We encouraged staff and students to donate non-perishable food items for the "We Scare Hunger" campaign. This was definitely a highlight of my grade five year because I felt very humble and warm-hearted by doing a simple act of kindness. In addition, I was chosen to participate in the "Intergenerational" program. This was created so that grade five students can learn more from the elders of the Burton Manor senior home. We had the privilege to learn about their history and interact with them through several educational and fun activities. If accepted, I will indeed join several clubs and teams to contribute my time and talents to make the school an exciting learning
I am dedicated to helping out our community and school, because it warms my heart and soul. Seneca said in about 40 to 60 A.D. that you should “be silent as to services you have rendered, but speak of favors you have received.” In other words you should not boast about the numerous projects you have accomplished and how much physical work you executed, but rather pride yourself on how you helped people in community and school, and how you have affected their lives with positive means. I feel life is joyous and it should be the feeling everyone illustrates, and this is exactly what keeps me functioning in the stressful world today. I find comfort in helping others to make their lives a little more like heaven and this comfort motivates me to perform copious service projects to the best of my capability whenever I find the time. Time is fair to the rich, the poor, and to every race, because time is equal and gives everyone 24 hours daily to accomplish their required tasks. Because time is so valuable and I am occupied by difficult advanced placement and honor classes and juggle school, clubs, sports, and friends, I joined Key Club, a high school division of the adult service club, Kiwanis. Key Club opened new doors to make every extra minute count towards helping others.
I am an African American female who attends the University of Chicago Charter School, which is located on the South side of Chicago. I am seventeen years old and I live and attend school in a predominantly Black neighborhood. I have seen plenty in my seventeen years of living. My goal is to go to college and become a teacher, so that I can return to Chicago and help the people in my community. In six years, I will be giving back to the community and helping the world become better place. I will help teach kids not to live in stereotypes and let them bring them down.
After I graduate college, I want to give back to my community by partaking in a mentorship role for young people in my community. Through my involvement in cheerleading and my local 4-H program, my life has been largely affected by the mentors that I have had in these programs. My cheer coaches have always pushed me to be the best and my 4-H leaders have demonstrated the value of the hard work. They have been so influential that I can say that I would not be the person that I am today without them. Therefore, I would really like to have that same role in another kid’s life. I want to be a positive example in a child’s life and help them to change the world for the better. In small ways, I have already started this goal as I have been active
As a young lady I have decided to become an early childhood education teacher. Throughout my high school years many of my friends have been thrilled to study a higher education level in college. The majority believe that being a teacher is not what I should do for the rest of my life because the income is not as immense as other careers. Many suppose that this job is simple, but in reality his job re...
“Proper society did not think about making money, only about spending it.”, said Barbara W. Tuchman. This quote shows our real world, and the people that spend money, but they forget about the value of money. Nowadays people want more that they have. They forget how many things they have, and how much money they spend. Most people when they see other people having something better, and in that moment they want to have it also. Also, people forget how hard they got that money, but how easily and quickly they spend it. In the article “The treadmill of consumption” by Roberts, he says that people are willing to go into debt to buy certain products and brands. That is right that people can do crazy things to buy certain goods.
As a person, I am fueled by compassion and I would like to help others in my college years be so as well. My nature to help those around me has led me to participate in community service projects like putting together thanksgiving food baskets for families and purchasing
In life, especially in American culture, our existence revolves around the physical, materialistic possessions and goals. Every commercial, ad and salesman caters to those who need more “stuff”
Money Money money money… There are hundreds of songs about it, there are references to it in thousands of movies, there are annoying advertisements telling you what you should spend your money on, and then there’s advertisements telling you that you need someone else to manage your money. We work hard for the money that we have, we stress over not ever having enough and we lose sleep over it. However money can also bring us a sense of security and comfort and it can help us sleep at night. Money is such a consumable part of many people’s lives. Whether you have money or not, people always feel like they need more, people are always wanting more.
“I wanted to become a teacher to be able to make a positive difference on the future of children. For me, it is fulfilling challenge, stimulating the next generation to become lifelong learners. I have always been grateful to my mom (who is a retired teacher) for implanting values in me. I feel I should contribute what I have learned and experienced over the years. This way I will be paying back and at the same time can fulfill my desire of enhancing the education system.”
..., a person who earns $25,000 is happier than a person who makes $125,000 and an employee who makes $500,000 is only slightly happier than someone who makes $55,000. Lastly, there are more important things in life that and make you happy, for example, friends. They don’t come with a price tag, and if they do, you definitely need new friends. Money won’t make you happy since good times can’t be bought. You don’t need a fancy vacation to have a good time; it’s just a matter of who you spend it with. Over the years, humans have blown the value of money way out of proportion. People make it seem like if you’re not filthy rich, then you won’t live a good life but it’s not true. You can lack money and yet still live a perfect, happy life.
In many high schools, if you don’t have an iPod or any other cool device, a replacement automotive or lots of cash, then the cool crowd typically doesn’t even notice a person. In nearly every organization, cash and things are the entire foundation, thus it is sensible that Americans would be thus materialistic. Of every last one of ideas inside economic concerns, supply and interest is maybe the most well-known by the overall population. Individuals' assets are constrained, yet everyone's needs and needs are boundless. “We shop to assert our superiority to the material objects that spread themselves before us,” (Rose 482).
Becoming a teacher has been the ultimate aspiration for myself since the first day I walked into kindergarten. As a very timid student, it was a difficult task transitioning from being with my mother everyday, to being part of a classroom environment full of strangers. However, my kindergarten teacher helped me through this transition smoothly, and adequately. I very quickly learned to love school. Soon after, I knew I would aspire to become a teacher. I would spend countless hours at home with a blackboard, acting as a teacher to my imaginary students throughout my elementary school years.
Money has become the first priority in peoples’ life. It has become the necessity for being success. Many believe that money is the only way to success. They work hard to earn a lot of money and to make their life more comfortable and easy. Once Bill Gates said, ”If you were born poor, that’s not your fault, but if you die poor that’s your fault.” So many people run after money throughout their life to become success. Some people also believe popularity as being success. People work hard throughout their life to become a renowned person in this world and believe they need to look rich in order to be
