but what seems to be a major problem in the Philadelphia County are these four issues here: Education, Health, Housing, and Infrastructure.

As a teacher, it is super rewarding knowing that you can make a difference in a child’s…

that is not a strong point for me. I believe my goals will tie in with the core values service, excellence, and empowerment. Service ties into my goal of giving back to my local community, which would be northeastern Pennsylvania but more specifically, Scranton.

With that being said, we had people…

This essay will be exploring strategies, research and ideas that I have come across in the process of devising a 30 minute workshop about Anti-Bullying. I will also begin to reflect on future assignments and development that I might have to entail. We have learned about many techniques and directors to help us along in our work. The two main directors I have focused on are Augusto Boal and Dorothy Heathcote. I have found them both very interesting to study. I have found their ways of study very…

I think this because sports allow students to make friends, sports have been proven to improve student's grades, and sports are a great way to promote exercise and health in schools. I understand that sports can lead to injury and pressure to win, but the benefits of sports in schools definitely outweigh the negatives. School sports are a great way for students to make friends and get to know new people. Being a part of a team can allow…

These public schools did not have the proper mental health support for students who are undergoing social and emotional development throughout school. Youths have more problems and less support than they have had in pervious years. Mental health has become a great concern as rates of depression and suicide among children have increased dramatically in recent years (U.S. Surgeon General, 1999). Adding to mental health concerns is the growing rate of broken family units and community ties…

GPA When viewing my application, please note that there is a trend in my GPA. Towards the end of my freshman year I decided to save money so that I could move to Flagstaff and attend Northern Arizona University. On top of supporting myself by working full-time, I began picking up extra shifts so I could afford to make this transition. As a result, my sophomore GPA fell, but it quickly rebounded my junior year. Lastly, I performed significantly better my senior year because I reduced my work…
