I have been volunteering lately with a church called Rod of God Ministries. I asked the Rod of God what they needed from me and they responded frankly with some embarrassment.
"We need someone to clean our toilets."
At first I thought the man was joking. Surely he took one look at me and did not see me with a toothbrush scrubbing toilet bowls. When he did not laugh, I knew immediately that I had a choice to make. It was one of the best decisions I ever made in my life. The next day, I bought a pair of latex gloves and went to work scrubbing the porcelain bowls that held the waste generated by people like you and me. The work is thoroughly humbling, but it is never humiliating. Someone has to do it. Someone has to do the dirty work of making a difference in the world regardless…...
You may find that the world throws indifference and apathy at you. You will find yourself facing prejudice and intolerance at every step. You may even find that the world will laugh at your dreams, or that people will actively discourage you from following your goals and aspirations. Financial constraints will always exist, and you will find yourself at wit's end trying to find your way in this world. But that is alright! You now know that you have a solid education that has empowered you to reach limitless potential. The courage that you have brought to school in these past four years, in waking up and trying to accomplish your tasks as best as you can, has given you the right to follow your own passion, and to dream wild dreams about what you can personally do in life.

schools experience higher graduation rates amongst minorities than other high schools. The key terms that will be used throughout the discussion include;
High school dropout- those individuals enrolled in high school in October but a year later were not enrolled in school and had not completed high school. (Event Dropout ates by Family Income, 1972-2001, 2004)
High school graduation rate- the percentage of students that graduate high school each year
At risk schools/communities- those schools and communities that are characterized by high unemployment rates, low income and a prevalence of crime
Minorities- those groups that do not make up the majority of the population
For the purposes of this discussion, we will only focus on Hispanic and African-American students because these are the two largest minority groups in the country. In addition, this study will not contain statistical date concerning high school dropouts who later earned GED's. The discussion will present a problem statement,…...
Just as physically impaired students receive the benefit of appropriate testing accommodations, so should all special needs students.
Ultimately, imposing certain minimal standards of overall academic achievement in connection with graduation may, in fact, serve a beneficial purpose. However, in order to do so, it must employ standards and methods that do not unfairly penalize special education students or the educational institutions that serve them.

Perils of Credit Card Marketing on Graduation from college should be an exciting and renewing experience. It represents an accomplishment that should be celebrated and the beginning of new adventures and experiences. Yet, for many recent college graduates it represents something entirely different. For these individuals graduation from college represents having to begin their new careers drowning in debt with credit scores below 500. The cause of this unfortunate circumstance is often the improper use of credit cards given to these individuals on their very first day on campus straight out of high school (Lazarony, 1999).
The credit card market is very competitive. The college age consumer is an attractive one for credit card companies. They have a captured market with individuals possessing a minimum degree of financial sophistication. As a result, credit card companies are able to issue cards to young people who are not able or willing, to understand…...

The line will include at least one swimsuit idea for men and women. Shorts and capris will be featured items for the summer line and will have an edgy appearance to conform to the urban theme. Raggedy edges on the cuffs and patchwork as well as the occasional metallic hue will offer a subtle edge to the fashions. Smart sandals and walking shoes will complete the look for the summer line for both men and women. The music accompanying the summer section of the fashion show will be upbeat and danceable.
The fall line will emerge next and will include a delightful array of browns and grays with the occasional splash of bright pink or purple to relive the monotony.

To: Prof. PieperFrom: YOU NAME HEEDate: THE DATEE: Bureaucratic dysfunctions affecting graduation ratesExecutive Summary.The minority students in the United States are much less likely to earn a college degree or even complete high school. Bureaucratic errors and bureaucracy are considered contributors to such academic underachievement (Halau, 601). andom bureaucratic errors affect most minority students because they are disproportionately educated in schooling settings where errors are prompt to occur, including in under-resourced boomtowns and urban areas. Solving the problem will guarantee a more stable country in the years to come.Low Graduation ates Among Minority StudentsAccording to several literature studies, the minority students, particularly the Latinos in the United States, are less likely to get a college degree or even complete high school.

The most important thing about writing a persuasive essay is that you are not simply presenting information; you are trying to convince the reader to agree with your position. It is also not an argumentative essay. In a persuasive essay, it is not only permissible to use opinions and emotion, but in an argumentative essay the writer needs to rely solely on logic. The idea that secondary or high school students should be required to do community service as a condition for graduation is one that many people have discussed. People give many different reasons....
Title: The Benefits of Mandatory Community Service for Secondary School Students
Introduction:
The modern education system should aim to produce well-rounded individuals who are not only academically successful but also socially responsible. Community service plays a vital role in this development, as it exposes students to various societal issues, instills empathy, and fosters a sense of duty towards their communities. Therefore, it is essential that every secondary school student be required to participate in community service as a condition for graduation.

Each of these principles will have a significant impact on the way I teach. Here's a breakdown of how each principle will influence my teaching approach:
1. Prior knowledge: Before introducing new concepts, I will assess students' prior knowledge to identify any gaps or misconceptions. This will enable me to provide targeted instruction, building upon their existing understanding and connecting new information to what they already know.
2. Active learning: I will incorporate various interactive activities, such as group discussions, problem-solving tasks, and hands-on experiments. By actively engaging students in their learning process, they will have the opportunity to apply their knowledge....
