Recommended: Education influences my life

I believe I exemplify the determination needed to succeed as well as influence others into success as a student and contributor to the educational community at the University of California. Whether that determination is expressed in the classroom or different realms of life, I feel as though I motivate and bring the best out of people. By buying into other students lives and aiding them in times of emotional despair or academic strife, it enhances the outcome of our educational community and the wellbeing of students. Although it can’t be expressed in class setting, being able to put others satisfaction over my own has proved to be worth it in every situation. On the opposite end of the spectrum, Glorification by others brings about positive

  • Caution- Praise Can Be Dangerous

    1296 Words  | 3 Pages

    In the article, Caution–Praise Can Be Dangerous, Dweck’s objective was to explain that praising students has a huge impact on performance and their way of thinking. Dweck studied fifth grade students and the effects of different messages said to them after a task. There were three responses: praise for intelligence, praise for effort, and praised for performance (with no explanation on why the students were successful). She described that having an understanding of how praising works could lead teachers to set their students on the right path. In Carol’s opinion the Self Esteem Movement did not produce beneficial results, but rather limited students’ achievement.

  • Personal Narrative: A Career As A School Counselor

    747 Words  | 2 Pages

    The end of my first graduate school semester leaves me with a bittersweet feeling. Although I'm glad that the stress and pressure of continuously feeling unprepared to take on graduate school is now over, the feeling that I can successfully accomplish my goal and become a School Counselor seems more attainable. Working towards something I feel passionate about, and coming to the end of the beginning of a long journey has never felt so satisfying. What feels even better is all of the knowledge that I have acquired about the profession which society needs in order to function in times of despair. During our very first class we were asked about, “Our life’s motto?” From this day onward and after listening to the different perspectives, backgrounds,

  • Delayed Gratification Essay

    830 Words  | 2 Pages

    Does delayed gratification truly affect our success in life? In today’s society, we now live in a hyper connected world where we can do virtually anything all with the click of a button. We constantly strive to become faster and achieve better, but to what effect will delayed gratification have on our success in life? Mischel’s “The Marshmallow Test,” and Berger’s “The Invitation to the Lifespan,” have come to a similar conclusion that not only does delaying gratification in children and adolescents lead to the development of emotional control and can have long term effects in life, but it can also be taught. Although, I have not completed a delayed gratification experiment myself, based on personal experiences, I definitely agree with all

    Rath, T. & Clifton, D.’s research shows us that students need to have many positive experiences in order to “fill their bucket” (p. ). This scale also takes into consideration the amount of praise students are receiving from teachers, the rules and classroom routines are explicitly taught, and that students are being rewarded for following the rules. The staff that completed this questionnaire were also asked about the school culture and whether or not teachers set high expectations for academics as well as behaviors, whether or not all teachers accept responsibility for all students and some very specific questions about using data, monitoring behaviors, appropriate incentives, and appropriate consequences. The idea that all students are “our students” comes from the professional learning community model and the work of Eaker, DuFour, and DuFour (2002). “Teachers often refer to students as “our” students instead of “my” students, reinforcing the collective atmosphere. Teachers work together to identify at-risk students, and team’s problem-solve to intervene for each

  • Graduation Speech: We Can Be Heroes

    924 Words  | 2 Pages

    One of our deepest needs as humans is to be valued. The need to be needed is often more powerful than the need to survive. Every one of us has a deep longing to write our signature on the world. As individuals, we are each equipped with unique gifts and talents to share with our family, our community, and our world. Nelson Mandela once said, "As we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." When we open ourselves to become all that we were created to be, we allow those around us to be themselves, empowering them to be a unique individual and to use the talents they possess. It doesn't matter if we are brilliant, beautiful, or incredibly charismatic. We can make a difference by just being who we are. We simpl...

  • Accord Status, Esteem And Leadership Analysis

    1160 Words  | 3 Pages

    The speaker in the video discussed how on the first day of college he was walking around and giving lollypops to new students who seemed to be overwhelmed by college itself. The striking part of the story was that he had probably given out a couple hundred lollypops that day, but there was one girl that he gave one to that changed her life and helped her to become a more confident person. This related directly to status, because the girl felt she was a lower status than other people on campus because she was new. So when he came up to her (he is someone she perceives to be higher status) she felt that she became higher status because he was choosing to interact with her. This led to her gaining confidence to go out and make friends at college, which led to her having a significantly higher opinion of herself (she gained esteem). Overall, I really enjoyed taking this course because of stories like this. We got to focus on what we can do better going forward to be more impactful leaders and also learned to treat everyone equally (regardless of their status) which is a pretty difficult thing to attempt to do. I hope to keep the lessons I learned instilled in my actions day to day, and utilize my new knowledge to become a great leader in the

Also, my college work experience in helping the Fullerton College students in the tutoring center, the writing center, and the transfer center thought me more about good listening skills and extending a helping hand to college students in need of my help and guidance. My assistance is provided in a compassionate and humane way, regardless of socioeconomic status, ethnicity or religious beliefs.
