Character Analysis: Wake County Public School System

When carrying out everyday tasks, it may seem that it’s always tedious and mundane, driving the person to even question the point in doing it. The answer is quite obvious, yet it’s not. They are simply learning even more than what they already know. When doing anything from walking down the street to sitting at a desk for 8 hours, someone can learn something out of it. Just by being there it’s easy for someone to observe and learn new things thanks to their current environment. The point is, not all learning comes from academic environments. People can obtain just as much knowledge and skills in everyday life than they can in school settings if the environment and situations are right.

I decided to release some stress, and go meet new people from other schools. Throughout this process I learned a lot about what other states were dealing with and what students wanted out of their education systems. I had knowledge about what the North Carolina education system was going though, but I had no clue as to the depth of problems that other states were dealing with. At this point, I decided to stand up for all the students in all states and address ten thousand people during my national beta club campaign speech for secretary. As Nobel Peace prize winner Malala Yousafzai said, “I raise up my voice-not so that I can shout, but so that those without a voice can be heard”. I wanted to advocate for opportunities that all students in this country should have access to. I used my national campaign speech to talk about the issues, concerns, and dreams of other students throughout the United States and wanted to project all of the voices that I had listed to throughout this journey. I used my voice to advocate for others who did not have the opportunity and I am now National Beta Club Secretary. In my role as National Secretary, I will plan, operate, and preside at not only there North Carolina Conventions, but also at the

My academic career and outlook on life was shaped greatly by my education and youth in Trenton. Ever since I could remember I had inspiring teachers and friends who didn’t consider

I believe that Northwest Catholic High School will be beneficial to me. I will develop interpersonal skills, emotional resilience, and have diverse experiences. I feel that these skills will pave the way to my goal of attending UCONN, UCLA, or Walden University in Minnesota. I know that Northwest has teachers and staff who will help me boost my self-esteem and confidence levels. By attending NWC, I will achieve a keen and steadfast mindset, and grow in my future profession as a counselor. I am persuaded that I will reach absolute educational greatness at Northwest Catholic High

Practice makes perfect. This statement directly relates to chapter 1 and 2 in “What the Best College Students Do,” by Ken Bain. Throughout the chapters, Bain provides examples of successful people, studies, and tools to support his idea that learning surpasses grades and other awards in the scheme of life. To accomplish the skill of learning, students must possess determination, intrinsic motivation, and a passion.

Over the course of the past four years, I can thank Orange High School for making an immensely positive impact on my life. I have made a wealth of incredible memories, endured numerous challenging obstacles, and formed deep relationships with a number of my peers, teachers, and faculty members that will last a lifetime. The benefits from my time as a Panther will undoubtedly carry with me forever.

My first half of a year in high school has been a great experience. I have had fun this year and learned a lot. In this essay, I will be talking about me and answering three essential questions. These questions are “Who am I and what does success look like to me?”, “How am I connected to Greensburg Salem High School?”, and “How are my academic efforts and achievements helping me to be successful in the global community?”.

Carolina High School, located in Greenville County, was established during the 1956-1957 school year as a 9th-12th grade public high school. With fourteen high schools in the district and over 72,000 students, Carolina High is the smallest. In 1995, Carolina High was selected as a magnet school where Pre-Engineering and Health Professions would be its focus and students from all over the school district could apply. At its peak enrollment, the school served over 1300 students but after the changes the community faced and closing of the local mills, enrollment dropped and today it serves a little over 700 students. According to the 2010 Census, the community that Carolina serves has an average per capita income of $36,296 and a quarter of the families in the area reported an income of less than $15,000 per year. Over 20% of the population reported to have a single mother raising children in the home and 44% are considered renters instead of homeowners.

It is my sincere hope that every student should look forward to coming into the classroom ready for new adventures and a whole new world of information every day. Education continually brings us new adventures just waiting for us to experience its wonder and possibilities. I believe that students, when presented with a wide variety of interesting lessons, can become interested and motivated in a way that they never have before.

Rather than fold my arms and complain about how NC State lacks diversity in certain student positions, I applied for those positions in order to be the change I wanted to witness. It has not always been easy, neither has it always been fun, but it has definitely been memorable. Moments such as this when I am nominated for the Joanne Woodard Leadership Award, given the Linda Abravanel Scholarship through OIED, acknowledged by my peers, or even hugged by Mama Thorpe, are the moments I know my efforts are not in vain. Nonetheless, I do not believe in anything simply for validation or acknowledge as that leads to unfulfillment. I do it for the 17 year old in the middle of Talley Student Union on the verge of tears because no one in the entire lobby looked like her. I do it for the immigrant who sees “Go back to Africa” spray painted in the Free Expression Tunnel. I do it for the girl who hears “Grab her by her pussy” chanted in the parking lot after an election. I do it for the

For my entire life of schooling, both my parents and I would agree that I constantly complained about the educational systems in which I was enrolled. But when I actually take the time to think about everything I have been through, I realize that I have indeed had an excellent education. My schooling was full of opportunities and experiences, all of which contributed to the person I am today; adequate education has been an indispensable facet of my being. Sadly, not everyone has had this same privilege. And now as a college student, I am becoming even more aware of this sad fact. Looking around me in such a diverse city as Chicago, I find myself being more and more grateful. When I read Jonathan Kozol's Fremont High School, this these

Writing Assignment Hampton University became my school of choice for multiple reasons. During my elementary days my sisters attended Hampton University and as I was deciding on schools I recalled back to those days. I remembered coming to visit her, seeing the aged college campus, experiencing others school spirit, and just listening to her talk about how much she enjoyed it. I knew that I wanted that for myself, and how cool would it be to start a legacy. My sister’s previous attendance at the school and her constant bantering about it played a big role in my decision to attend but it wasn’t the deciding factor.

Unlike other students, I fully believe that my education contributes to my ability to solve problems and think logically. With these skills, I am confident that I can be a functioning member of society and help make the world better. In addition to the skills that an education can provide, however, I genuinely find my studies to be interesting and I enjoy solving the problems that the classwork requires. This gives me the drive to do things that other students can’t muster up the motivation to do, as well as provide the best work that I possibly can.

As Daniel J. Boorstin said, “Education is learning what you didn 't even know you didn 't know.”

Learning takes place not only in the classroom but also in our everyday lives. This is because to learn does not mean just to gain academic knowledge. Rather, learning refers to acquisition of any kind of knowledge that can give us instructions on how we should behave. Information that we get in the classroom is, without any doubt, useful and proven and it can broaden our mind. However, school years are relatively short in terms of a life span, and, therefore, there are a lot more things that can be
