When I was young I always saw myself as a teacher I think because most of my role models, mom, several aunt, high school teachers, were all in that profession. I never though of anything else until I received what I believe was a true calling from God. In high school I was suppose to do my senior project with my friends mother in a second grade classroom, but at the last minute she couldn’t take me. I was so upset and nervous about where I would go. My counselor at Beaumont was able to find me a position with a nurse at University Hospital, this experience changed my life. I truly believe this was Gods way of helping me to find what I should do with my life. I learned in those two short weeks that nursing is much more than a career it is a vocation.
There are many reasons I believe that nursing is what I was called to do. The role of nurse is ever changing, and that is something that fits my personality perfectly. To be an effective nurse you first and most importantly be skilled but also you need to be a leader, good communicator, listener, counselor, advocate able to learn from others as well as work with others with are all qualities I posses. I also believe you must never stop learning, I know once I graduate I will continue to stay up on the latest advancement in the filed because I am not one to be complacent I always strive to be the bet at what ever I do.
Nursing also offers so many options for employment from working in a hospital, physician’s office or a

Professional learning communities (PLCs) are old news in the educational community, an idea that has been around for years. Like many initiatives in education that have come before it, it runs the risk of being pushed aside for newer, sexier initiatives (Dooner, Mandzuk, & Clinton, 2008; DuFour, 2004), guaranteed to promote learning and finally…

specific texts that all students of high school English should read. The canon is list of specific books that counties command high school English students to read (Source A). There is no uniqueness and quality in that. If you look at the list of mandatory books, they are all the same (Source B). Most are in Victorian language, outdated, and always have some type of negative plot in it with a bad ending. There isn’t any diversity in the list. Most teachers used the Norton Anthology World Masterpieces:…
School Overcrowding Schools are becoming more and more dependent on teachers being able to handle more students each year. The teacher to student ratio that is best known as “ideal” is at most 16 students to one teacher. Yet, there are teachers that have classes double that size.

This paper will show that there are better ways to handle overcrowding in schools, and in…
Abstract Objective learning in education are brief statement will show what the student is expected to learn for the end of school year, such as lessons, courses, projects, and class period they will be attending. In many cases, learning objectives are the interim academic goals that teachers establish for students who are working toward meeting comprehensive learning standards Alfred North Whitehead (1967) a philosopher once said, “A merely well-informed man is the most useless bore on God’s…
and aspiring teacher, I refuse to accept that this is the only way students can be evaluated. Young minds are active and eager, but these tests are boring and kill creativity. Each and every one of us learns in our own way, so why enforce a “standard” that encourages a crippled curriculum. Teachers have become little more than mouthpieces for their school boards, reduced to “teaching the test” in order to maintain some semblance of learning. If students perform poorly, that teacher is scrutinized…

The first time I went to an open house in search of a school for my own child in Washington, DC, years ago, I spent a lot of time staring at classroom bulletin boards. I hoped the children’s drawings, the construction-paper borders and the rules posted by the teacher would reveal the classroom’s secrets. Was this a place where learning happened? Was this a place where children felt safe? Inspired? Curious? It never worked. The bulletin boards did not speak to me. Now I know I was looking in the…
