    My journey to higher education spans 24-years and combines two passions, teaching and EMS (emergency medical services). This journey began in 1986 with a suburban kindergarten class of 25 in Memphis, TN. Eleven years later no longer am I teaching school-age children; instead, I am delivering training programs to EMS providers as well as the medical community.

  • How Does Failure Lead To Failure Essay

    1258 Words  | 3 Pages

        Failure is apart of life, it can make or break a person. When a person experiences a type of failure it is now up to them to see how they respond. They can choose the high road, and become a stronger person for it. Then they can choose the low road, the easy way out. The easy way out is never a good choice. It can lead only to destruction. The high road is the right choice to take when responding to failure. It will lead down a path of success. Jessica Lahey’s article, “When Success Leads to Failure” is an article that shows how kids are experiencing failure. Lahey says that, “these kids have a fear for failure, and that they have given up natural loves for learning. They are scared of not being successful”(Lahey).

  • Success Definition Essay

    954 Words  | 2 Pages

    One does not fully understand the feeling of success until witnessing failure. The success portrayed on television shows ideal success, and people feel that achieving this goal is very easy. Though the legitimate feeling of success isn’t truly accepted until one fails at achieving their goal and later work twice as hard to reach that target. I can say from my own experience that this is true when I failed to pass my permit. Even though I had practiced for weeks with my parents, it still wasn’t enough. When it came time for my second try, I practiced everyday for thirty minutes for two weeks and finally passed, I was overjoyed even though it wasn’t my driver’s license. This made me realize that failure helps you understand that you have to work even harder to obtain the success you desire, and makes you feel accomplished. Another example that presents this idea is how Martin Luther King Jr. struggled to complete his success. Dr. King was a leader in the African American Civil Rights ...
