Samuel also found out that British soldiers escorted by Iroquois indians is who attacked his settlement.…
A few weeks ago we watched the film, Including Samuel. It is a documentary on the complexities of inclusion. It also touched on how inclusion works, and how more schools are starting to try and incorporate inclusion. While it is still a work in progress, inclusion is becoming a big part of life. Despite the fact the film was not perfect, they did a good job of stating how important and beneficial inclusion is.…

Discovering this college from the thousands of community colleges in the West Coast was difficult yet a wonderful experience. From California to Washington, there were numerous of community colleges that were the best of the best and the colleges were at beautiful places that I can’t even describe to you.. But, I picked Mt. Hood Community College as my community college of choice from the good reviews to the helpful website. I realized that Mt. Hood was the good choice after I read about the student life and the community of the college and the city of Gresham.…
College is a life changing investment that prepares for life and career. The vast spectrum of knowledge, skills obtained, and experiences from a college degree more than compensates for the monetary cost of tuition. Creating art is my passion; I have always wanted to become a great artist ever since I was a child drawing on my walls and copying pictures from books. I have devoted my life to improving my talents by illustrating my own stories, practicing drawing daily, and challenging myself to earning my own money doing what I love by drawing commissions. Learning how to communicate through illustration is a valuable skill that will live with me for the rest of my life and progressing my artist career.…
every time I think about my future I know that it involves going to college and pursuing my interests in science and mathematics. Although my family's experiences with higher education have presented me with some challenges, their experience has also helped me test the integrity of my own desire to go to college and has helped me prove to myself that I will be successful in college because I am doing it for me and not for anyone…
Someone like Sam impacted society in a good and a bad way. There could be many good things about what Sam is doing but almost for every good thing he does there is a bad side to it. For example if he is helping someone get into their dream college they could be taking the spot of someone who deserves it. He could affect his town economically because how could some high school kids get $2500? You could only imagine what kids are doing to get that kind of money.…
Southern Methodist University has been my dream university for many years. Achieving admission to this spectacular university was a miracle in itself; however, the cost of attendance is a struggle of itself. Receiving this scholarship would help enable myself to educate my mind at one of the nation’s and state’s best universities. I have lived in Lindale all my life, went to the same church and school, and even lived in the same house, but attending this university would forever shape my life and increase the opportunities and resources available to me. I want the love I have for Lindale Independent School District to transfer to the college of my choice, and that college is Southern Methodist University.…
The year was 2014. I was a senior in high school, already I had committed to go to Colorado Mesa University, I had a track scholarship and I was going to major in Geology, ultimately wanting to go into petroleum engineering. The only thing was, I didn’t want to. I did not want to go be a geologist, I wanted to travel, to see the world! As cliché as it may have been, I dropped out, I worked for a period of time and sent myself on a trip to Europe to “find myself”.…
Including Samuel is a documentary about the experiences of many individuals with disabilities in the traditional education system within the United States. While focusing on inclusion and the environment of schools with individuals with disabilities in mind, the film explores many interesting viewpoints on the subject. In the main spotlight of the documentary lies Samuel, a boy born with a disability and his families efforts to allow him to grow up in an integrated school system. While this family struggles with many of the daily issues of having a son with disabilities, their efforts were immortalized in this documentary. It was incredibly interesting to see this documentary from the viewpoint of my own life, growing up in a traditional…
At the end of the day, my college choices and my ability to get there all depends on me and my decisions. I’ve made plenty such as coming to Penta for the Cosmetology program and staying on track with my grades but if I want to keep achieve all of my goals and become a successful cosmetologist and psychologist I’ll have to keep doing what I'm doing and strive for greatness every day. With a positive attitude I’m sure I'll get there with no…
When I was accepted to San Jose State University (SJSU) I intended to pursue a career in art therapy with a focus in child development. I always had an aptitude for art and I wanted to incorporate that into a career that allowed me to help people. I took classes, such as Child Psychology, Psychology of the Adolescent, Chad, Multicultural Art/Children, etc., in order to pursue a career in that field. Additionally, I began working at elementary schools, such as Carden Day School, Monroe Middle School, Sherman Oaks, etc., in order to gain some experience working with youth.…
My educational goal started in September 2014 when I first applied for admissions at Bellevue College. I had been laid off as an Administrative Design Assistant at a local staging company where I discovered the interior design world, and my passion for it. The reason I was given is that I lacked experience necessary to work alongside the principle designer, even though I was hired specifically because of my lack of design experience two years earlier. While attending my first quarter at BC, I completed my necessary weekly job search requirements for unemployment insurance, and completed the Training Benefits application required by Employment Security Department before the 90 day deadline. Being awarded Training Benefits allowed me to…
My personal philanthropic goals are to donate my design skills to my community. I want to create my own design firm and provide volunteer work through my business, a growing number of young designers are attracted to humanitarian work, like myself. The practice of architecture and design can be a huge component to advertising my personal skills. The greatest asset to an ID (Interior Design) is the individual skill sets they have, so no one has the same skills that you do. Relating back to humanitarianism, design is becoming a part of a company culture at design firms worldwide as employees could potentially be encouraged to get involved into humanitarian issues.…
“What do you want to be when you grow up?” As a child and throughout our lives we have and will continue to ask and be expected to answer this question. When asked this question, college should be the first thing to arise in our minds. Thus, this leads to the big question of “What should I major in?” Deciding what your major should be is the most difficult decision one will make.…
