¶ … knowledge, by seeking to enter graduate school in education? Why now, at this juncture of my life and in the educational life of this nation? I believe that currently, the nation is in a state of crisis, in terms of its evolving attitude to education. America hopes to make its students widely competitive in the global marketplace of ideas and the professional, global market of business, yet it also wishes to keep its focus on creativity and individuality in education.
I wish to become a part of the current educational revolution that is transpiring in the world around me.

There are many controversial issues, from safety in schools, to the amount of homework students require, and the issues of student bullying and diversity, that are debated amongst educators today. Before I am forced to take a stand upon these issues on a daily basis in my professional life, I hope to be able to have a place to reflect upon them with my fellow and future educators.
