After reading about the US values I decided to pick 5 out of the 15 I believe impact my life greatly. These 5 are “Achievement and Success”, “Activity and work”, “Freedom”, “Equality” and “Education”. After re-reading these and thinking about them over and over again I put it into my own words on what they mean. First one Achievement and Success, in my words means everyone can achieve in what they believe in, they just have to push themselves to their limits. Second one Activity and work, everyone is able to try hard and succeed, and they should not expect to be given free items or opportunities. Third Freedom, everyone in this country has their freedom to do anything they wish to do. Some use it in a different way than others. I believe we have the freedom to pursue our goals and dreams. Fourth Equality, Everyone in this country has an equal opportunity to do what they want to. Last but not least Education, education is the one thing that will for sure take you far in life. Everyone has an equally opportunity for education, but most don’t use it effectively. Higher your education higher your degree which gives you a better chance at a good job. Which leads to higher success.
The reason I choose these values is because these are mostly the same values I was taught as a child. My parents always wanted the best for me in my future so they decided to teach me what they had believed will help me succeed in life. Out of all of them I value Education the most. Without education
William Donohue English 1010 2/20/2014 Americas Education: Failing Us? In the United States no one disputes the value of education, but how we should improve it is a topic that many will argue about. Through my reading up on this topic I noticed that every few years, along comes a new idea to save the U.S. education system such as enforcing higher testing standards, opening charter schools, or paying teachers based on their students’ performance. A big new idea was the no student left behind…

Education Education is so important to me where I can read and write that it is foundation for life and it is basic for my future. Education gives me knowledge; job and it help me to get life of the world. Moreover, when I start thinking about school I think about my teacher, my school subjects, the study and the play. Let me consider the following points. First of all, education gives me knowledge. You will study from the simplest things to the most complicated things…
TEACHERS Keiser University 02/05/2013 Education should be a part of everyone's life. A good education offers something for everyone, whether it is on the simple level or a more complex one. Education should provide an opportunity for students to develop a strong sense of creativity, a high self esteem, and a lifelong respect for learning. Education should help students establish a strong sense of confidence in themselves. A teacher will be one factor that helps a student learn…
Many of our teachers in the United States receive tenure. The amount of experience a teacher must first gain before receiving tenure varies from state to state, but I honestly think tenure should not exist at all. The baseless guaranteeing of a position so critical to the futures of many children and teens is simply inappropriate. In today’s society, far too many privileges are extended as rights. Teachers do not deserve to have their position guaranteed, taking away the competitive pressure that…
2013 Jon Schulte Hour 1 Advanced Comp December 20, 2013 Physical Education is a job requiring a lot of communication and the ability to speak to large groups of people at a time, also connecting with somebody one on one. I am choosing this career because I am good with communicating with my teachers, classmates, and friends. Along with that I love being able to help others, and what way to help others than become a teacher. I am very interested in learning more about this career and if I truly…
country in the world, yet, still ranked 17th in reading, 21st in science, and 26th in math (OECD, 2012). There are several places where the education system fails students, and at very tip top, literally speaking, is early education. The articles I reviewed and will write about in my paper support early education, specifically, high quality early education. Some of the more interesting and informative publications came from a few different sources. One of the most interesting publications I read…
Education Children in this day and age are way too spoiled. Anyone getting rewarded for anything that is just, is completely insane. We are supposed to do the right thing regardless of rewards or not. We should live with good morals and respect. Education is free and should be appreciated by all the children who receive it because knowledge goes a long way and that is something no one can rob you of. We should enforce and motivate our children to gain all the knowledge available to them for free…
believe a good teacher cannot begin or continue to inspire learning without being a learner. A good teacher must constantly up to date his knowledge. Learning is an active process and process of learning is just as important as content. My philosophy of teaching developed from my experience working as a university teacher and educator. During these years my approach to education has shifted from an emphasis on my teaching, to a more focus on student learning. I believe that the main teachers’ mission…
Dance teacher Many of the careers in the performing arts industry are practical, “hands on” roles. One of them which I have chosen to research is that of a dance teacher. I have chosen to research this role because I find that watching performers dance and express themselves through movement very interesting. I am also keen to find out what kind of salary a job in the dance industry might offer. One famous dance teacher was Anna Pavlova who was born in St. Petersburg in 1881 and died in 1931…
