Katherine Watson VS Charles Dickens

Katherine Watson used a teaching method that was out of the box. Compared to Charles Dickens's way of teaching, they somewhat have a similar style. While Charles Dickens just teach students based on facts, Katherine Watson teaches facts but in a style that brings the students into the subject. She takes the students into another level of learning, in which she takes the students on field trips and briefly goes in depth when teaching. Charles Dickens has a sense of boredom when talking about teaching students only facts, while Katherine makes it fun and interesting. Also, teaching straight from the book isn't always good. The facts are usually past the date it was made, so new facts could have rolled in.

Post Mona Lisa Smile theme

The theme from, Mona Lisa Smile, that I favored the most was the fact that it was ironic how someone that you could hate so much would be the one that you love. Throughout the movie, Betty despised Ms. Watson, writing hateful newspaper articles about her and towards her teaching. She would always try to make Ms. Watson feel bad and take over her pride. In the end, she missed Ms. Watson and wanted her to stay with her. She realized that Ms. Watson was a great teacher and friend, helping herself to find her true self. This theme portrayed a lot of hatred and then love towards the end of the film.

Mona Lisa Smile

I think in the movie, Mona Lisa Smile, the main character will go back to school and help the girls to learn and to find out who they truly are. In the movie, it shows that one of the students had stopped going to school because she was married. I believe the teacher will find a way to become successful through her love life and her students, even though the college life was difficult. She will become successful through her friends and husband, while becoming a role model on the girls that she teach. Throughout the struggles that goes on in her life, she finds a way to turn it around and to become the smart, amazing women she always was.

College VS High School Exams

In reality, college exams are the hardest when comparing to high school exams. Even though they are taken less frequently than high school exams, they cover a lot of material. What also makes these exams stressful is that they count towards your overall test grade. The high school exams are the easiest out of the two. College exams cover more material on a test than any of the high school exams, so this will eventually lead an individual to find a great way to study. Cramming should not happen when a student is studying for both exams. In high school, the students should take notes and break each section down until they fully grasp the meaning. In college, the young adults should consider helping each other out by working together in the library or tutoring center. They can look up additional information to their notes and compare them to their fellow classmates.

Happy Holidays!!

During the Christmas Break, my plans are to spend Christmas with my extended family in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. I plan to have a feast with all of my family at my grandma's house on Christmas day. Later that week, my church is having a Christmas play and my family always look forward to attend the spectacular event. Other than Christmas and eating at IHOP on New Year's, basketball practice and games lies in my future almost everyday during the break. I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!

Why I would want to go to college

My hopes to accomplish by going to college is to become successful in my everyday life. The major I want to excel in is engineering , and I would love to learn a lot about it so I can achieve a successful career. The reason I want to go to college is for my family and myself. Most of my family never made it to college, so I want to be one of the few people in my family to have a further education. My dad was taught in the Army and my mother went through four years at Southern University. Also, I would love to work at a high paying job that requires a lot of skill to help my future family, so I want to go to college for myself. I shall seek the input from my mother because she actually been in a college and she knows all about the college life. She been through the struggle, so she would be a great reference. Many great characteristics that I will look at when choosing a college is the money and location. College has all kinds of information that helps students to achieve their goals. Many professors helps students to be what they want to become in life. Without college, a student may not fully achieve the amount of information that a job they desire requires.

Thanksgiving

During Thanksgiving Break, I plan to unite with my family for Thanksgiving at my house. My parents and I are most likely going to go down on the military base to purchase food for the holiday. Also, I plan to do a lot of homework and study for the SAT/ACT. I plan to watch NBA games and play in many basketball games over the break.
