Creating My Future
From the beginning of July 2018, I started something I didn’t know much about. I researched this program before, but found very little information online. Some friends of mine graduated from this program the year before, and they all had great things to say about it...but yet I still didn’t realize what it entailed.

Should Learning Adapt?
If water in a tub is knowledge that must be retained, and rocks are the lessons in life that build that knowledge, then the more rocks you add the higher water/knowledge becomes, right? But if you add too many rocks, eventually the water will spill and the knowledge with it withers away.

Benefits of Effective Infusion of Instructional Technology
Effective infusion of technology benefits all students. Technology allows educators to meet the needs of all students no matter what the students' preferred learning modality. Visual, auditory, and second language learners can benefit from programs like EdPuzzle, YouTube, Discovery Education, Quizlet, GAFE, and Flocabulary that use videos to enhance the learning process. Tactile learners can use Google Draw to create pictorial demonstrations of proof of mastering content. ELL students benefit a great deal from any technology that immerses them in the new language they are trying to learn. The more ways they hear, see, and use new language the better chance they will have in learning to comprehend that language. Quizlet, Quizziz, Kahoot, and Socrative bring in the competitive component. Let's face it, we are all competitive in one way or another.

Use Your Time Wisely: Advice I Should Have Followed
Time is a very precious thing. It’s funny because it doesn’t actually exist, it’s something that humans concocted for measurement. Over generations it’s taken so much meaning to all of us. One of the biggest life lessons I’ve been told over and over and still never really followed deals with how I use my time. I’m sure everyone has been told that time is precious and we should be spending our time wisely. This is a valuable lesson that I think 95% of us will ignore despite knowing that it’s true. Why don’t we follow this advice and what does spending your time wisely truly mean?

The Effects of School
We always see the ads of the children in third world countries who don't get to school. These ads are supposed to show us that "school is a privilege" and that "others aren't fortunate enough to have schooling." But is it really worth it? In thriving, first world countries do the results justify the means when it comes to the education system? Many think that they do, but even more would disagree.

Intelligence: In and Out of the Classroom
Teachers face an unending battle. Twenty students in a room, all learning and acting in mysterious ways. It is the teacher's war to gather their attention, hold it, and give a lesson compelling enough to teach them something. Right?

Journey of a Nursing Student
So nursing, the profession of our decade right now. I chose this because, to be frank, I don't have a good reason—I just did. I didn't have an epiphany one morning and know that this is what I wanted to do. I didn't make a pros and cons sheet and pick this because of what I liked about it. My mom is a nurse, my ex-stepmother was a nurse, my brother is now a nurse. Kind of made sense I guess. I did learn throughout my experiences, that this is what I want to do. It does interest me and helping people when they need help the most is something that I want to be apart of.

The Spirit of Wisdom
The world as we know it has drastically changed in the spans of just a few generations. In many ways the scope of the human dream has expanded radically, and in many ways it has shrunk. Technology is pushing our view of what is possible to new limits, and never before have so many people had access to such a breadth of knowledge. This is truly the bleeding edge of history. This truly is the Information Age. Yet, with all of the knowledge we have accumulated as a species, and as a global culture, mass ignorance pervades. The framework of human learning has changed so quickly with the rise of accessible travel, mass communications, and the the internet, but the way that we educate our children has but slowly progressed since 1821. At this critical point in history, it is time that we re-examine how we should be pouring into the lives of the youth, and how we can foster a new renaissance of human excellence.
