Growing up has not been easy, but it’s a part of life we all go through, Like in the Disney Movie Meet the Robinsons you need to “Keep Moving Forward”. In Life we have to take challenging Obstacle courses that are not so easy but it helps us in life. One challenging obstacle course that we take is school, to be exact High school. In high school to get to the top you have to fail because from failing you learn, because you learn from your mistakes and “Keep Moving Forward” and you do your best to do a better job the next time. From success not so much because you are not learning anything out of it. Vista del lago students are required to learn special goals known as Expected school- wide learning Results known as (ESLRS).
As you progress throughout the semesters you should improve in the 5 ESLRS Effective Communicator, Intellectually developed Person, Problem Solver, Self-directed Life-Long Learner, and Responsible Community Member. As an individual I have improved my ability as an Effective Communicator, Self-directed Life-long Learner and a Responsible Community Member. The first one that I have improved is being an Effective Communicator. An effective communicator demonstrates purpose and they are aware of the audience when communicating orally and in writing. They employ a variety of Strategies and technologies in order to communicate effectively. In my English class when we did group projects I had to communicate with my group so we could understand our PowerPoint project and what we were doing so we could help each other out and get stuff done for the project. W also had to orally use our effective communicating when we presented in front of the class so they could know what was going on, and would not be confused. Also...

...ember skill. Furthermore in one of portfolios for English III Honors, we had to give advice to the incoming freshmen (8th graders) I had to give them advice on what to be expect when coming what not to do and how to survive. I also had to regulate to them and give them rules so they do not mess up freshman year and that showed a lot of discipline, and honesty because I had to be honest with them.
In conclusion Growing up has not been easy but it’s a part of life that we all go through. If you use the 5 ESLRS like I have you can grow up and become very successful. Life only gets harder from after you step out of high school but if you just remember the motto like in the Disney movie Meet the Robinsons “Keep Moving Forward” and also the motto “Just Keep Swimming” from Finding Nemo it will be a smooth happy trail into the wonders of what life takes you and brings you.
Everyone strives to be the greatest, especially teenagers in school, failing can be upsetting when it comes to failing a class or grade. Failure in school can have a huge impact on a student's future. When students aim for a goal it's either accurate or precise depending on their mindset.
Through the first half of the movie, all the students were prone to dropping out. Where some wanted to inherit their family’s restaurant or auto shop or others just believed they couldn't do it because they were Mexican-American. This belief was drilled into their heads at a young age where once they got out of highschool, they would immediately start working. Mr. Escalante saw potential in his students and worked hard to make them realise they needed to challenge racial stereotypes and do things at their best ability. We learned that we should be able to struggle to achieve more without regards to our ethnicities. This film made us think how people these days are still being held back from their full potential because of race and how there are still people who hold stereotypes in this modern
Overall Herrera talks about the academic dimensions and some of the conflicts that arising in this aspect. Many times, CLD students are academically judged according to their test scores, grades, and school records. This only allows us teachers to see a very limited scope of our students learning potential and

...through 8 different psychosocial stages of life. Each step has to be completed in order to have gained knowledge and to be able to be successful in the next stage of development. Researching this topic has taught me that we can’t skip over skills and expect to have success or live happily ever after. I now realize how important learning from my mistakes can be. Childhood becomes the remembered past and adulthood the anticipated future (McAdams, 2001).
...ed me that students who may exhibit troubling behaviors in homeroom or other social situations sometimes become model students when classroom time starts. My final question for Antonio was the stereotypical “What do you want to be when you grow up?”. Antonio thought for a second and then said, “A doctor or a lawyer.” His answer delighted me, Antonio is essentially dealing with a double life, but he still has big dreams. Even though he has to make lingual changes on a daily basis and sees his friends not taking their education seriously, Antonio has a goal, an impressive goal at that. All in all, Antonio showed me that there are students who can fight the setbacks in their life and work hard to do well in school. I do not think there exists a “hopeless case” and I feel that every student can work hard to at least perform satisfactory work with the help of teachers.
As kids, we all wanted to grow up, it seemed so easy. Even as little 1st graders we looked up to the 5th graders in awe. Little did we know that growing up wasn’t as easy as it seemed. Growing up involves finding who you really are, and people can easily change who you believe yourself to be. Celebrities, family, friends… Part of growing up is learning to experience life from other’s perspectives, and soaking in those perspectives to help you make your own decisions.
I strongly believe that the class, HD341 Communication for Empowerment fulfill my goals in taking this class because it is giving me many opportunities to make connection with other classmates. I usually check in by sharing my stories at school, at work, and any issues that I am still concerned. Therefore, verbal communication is an area I frequently use in class to communicate with my peers as well as my professor. I also have active listening my classmate’s stories and have critical thinking to giving feedbacks to them.
A Bolivian-born science and mathematics teacher, Jaime Escalante, migrated to East Los Angeles, California in the 1960’s. He found himself teaching at-risk Hispanic youth, because of language and socio-economic struggles, many had dismissed them as unteachable. By 1982, Escalante had advanced his students enough they were able to excel on the AP Calculus Advancement exams. With Escalante’s determined and encouraging attitude, he was able to reach students many had given up on.
As a teacher, my job is to help prepare students to become strong adults capable of meeting their own basic needs and prepared to participate in, and contribute to, a connected global society. To accomplish this, students need to learn academic content and twenty-first century skills, but just as importantly they need to develop traits and learn behaviors that will enable them to apply their knowledge. By addressing students’ needs while simultaneously developing strengths, teachers can help students develop the courage, confidence, and character necessary to continue to learn, adapt, and grow long after they leave our classrooms.
Effective communication will be demonstrated by identifying good responses and poor responses, listening and responding, asking questions, bringing up difficult issues, addressing and disarming anger, and the effective combination of skills.
Some of these things that I read in the article I can directly relate to my own experience. In my high school and junior high we always had learning goals. They would come up with acronyms to help us remember them and make us do project involving them. In high school they were called the ESLERS, what it stood for escapes me now. I guess the school thought it was a good idea to make sure that every classroom had these learning goals posted on the wall. I thought that was always a little silly, but I can’t think of a better way of using them. It never really helped me personally but I could see how it could help others.
Though people see adulthood and childhood more different than alike, we never stop growing, no matter the age. We never stop learning. We always have rules to follow through life. There is an
We all have those days where we feel so hopeless or unable to do anything right. We have all felt that we couldn’t finish school or other life challenges. We question everything about life, that’s what happened with me. I had never had a normal life and now it takes a turn for the worse. I grew up under the circumstances that forced me to become more responsible and mature, which has enabled me to succeed later in life.
Communication is one of the most important factors in our lives. It dictates the relationships formed with the individuals in personal and professional lives. Effective communication provides a foundation for trust and respect to grow. It also helps better understand a person and the context of the conversation. Individuals often believe that their communication skills are much better than what they actually are. Communication appears effortless; however, much of what two people discuss gets misunderstood, thus leading to conflicts and distress. To communicate effectively, one must understand the emotion behind the information being said. Knowing how to communicate effectively can improve relationships one has at home, work and in social affairs. Understanding communication skills such as; listening, non-verbal communication and managing stress can help better the relationships one has with others.
