    I heard about the Polar Bear Plunge through my peers. Every year many of my friends would take the plunge and I would call them crazy; going into the water being 30 degrees outside is insane. But that was before I did some research about the plunge and found out what the plunge was really about, helping raise funds for the Special Olympics. I was in school one day and heard that Broadneck had a team for the Polar plunge, this was my chance. Thousands of seemingly sane people across Maryland and beyond will strip down to their swim suits in 40 degree weather to help a special cause for extraordinary people. I am one of those seemingly sane people to donate and take the plunge to help raise funds for the Special Olympics.

  • The Education System

    1002 Words  | 3 Pages

    The education system has been a controversial issue among educators. Requirements of school do not let student choose what they want to study for their future. It’s a big issue to force student study specific curriculums, which don’t help them improve, and what they like to create something. Educators choose a general system for education to all students which based on general knowledge. Intelligent or genius students have to be in that system of education, which doesn’t let them improve their creativity. Educators attempt to change that system to make it better, but their changing was not that great to be an example for the world. Also, did that change qualify education system to compete other systems or not? In some examples and reasons have been made me agree with some of points from Gatto’s and Edmunson’s and disagree them.

Service Learning is one of those activities, and it is primarily a service of a community with the application of the knowledge and guidance obtained in the college. Moreover, Service Learning is a way for a student to practice the education that he learns from the college, which in result strengthens the student academically. As a result, A student can be aware of the social issues through Service Learning, and he can apply his ideas and knowledge to come up with a solution.

    I have taken in a considerable number of things from being in the Practicum of Human Services. It has changed my whole point of view toward and my mentality toward my life. Prior to my senior year at Irving High School, I was timid, had low confidence, and maintained a strategic distance from apparently unthinkable difficulties. This class has modified the greater part of my most noticeably awful qualities. On the primary day helping the L.I.F.E. aptitudes kids, I was anxious in light of the fact that I was ungainly and socially clumsy. These qualities have not left, but rather I don't give them a chance to cripple me. The truth is, I was not by any means open to this new test at first. I would not like to be the one to blame if something turned

Teachers have worked within schools of thought cults, monasteries and other types of organisations to shape desired convictions, knowledge and behaviour. Such philosophical and religious leaders as the Budha, Confucius, Pythagoras, Jesus, Moses, Muhammad and Karl Marx instructed their disciplines through informal education.

  • Superior Educational Systems in Finland and South Korea

    Before a country’s workforce experiences any improvement, that country must come up with a large number of educated citizens. The postwar governments of Finland and South Korea understood this and made it a goal to focus their population’s attention onto education in order to improve the standards of living. The amount of dedicated teachers and parents that got involved in their students’ educational life increased remarkably. Federal and local governments got involved and made it possible for every child to attend a public school as close to home as possible. Improvements in both countries’ educational systems arose in every family’s household. A strong educational system requires value, availability to all, and specific goals set by the curriculum.
