Pondering Art Making
In my Master's program we often discuss the importance of the process of making art. The conversation always seems to veer to the point that children in schools are often directed to churning out product after product. They don't really get the opportunity to simply experience the materials they are working with.

The De Anza Paralegal Program
As far as this program goes, I’m looking at all my options to get a better paying job and how to get there. I know I have to get into the technical writing program, for example. I also have paralegal studies printed out by now, which I’m looking at because I want to figure out how long it will take me to complete. I need at least 48 units and classes I can transfer to UCLA when the time comes. I’m busy trying to figure out the stuff I need to learn, and I have to enroll in online English 1A and 1B. I have other interests, besides, in the field of student government, drawing, martial arts, speech, and more art classes.

College Is Not for Everyone
Before I talk about why college isn't for everyone, I want to disclaim that I am not telling people to ditch their college dreams and goals. While it isn't for everyone, it is also a great asset for some people. Getting a degree in a field you love, making memories and following your dreams looks differently for every person. This article is merely to point out that you don't have to go to college to become a successful human being. Each person's journey is different, which is what makes us all uniquely special.

Let's Fail. Together
I've noticed that Facebook is a happy place. Like, too happy. Everyone is living their perfect life and then they go to Instagram and post their perfect jobs and twitter to post their perfect recipes.
Think a Teacher's Job Is Easy?
Alright, everyone, settle down! Eyes front. Now. Jade? Now. Phone away. Ben, that chair has four legs: use them all before you fall off again. You were unconscious for a worryingly long time last lesson, remember? No, I know you don't remember. You were unconscious, yes. I was being rhetorical, Ben. Just sit properly, will you?

Your Guide to Surviving Finals
Coffee Use coffee as your reward for getting up in the morning. Use it as your reward for going to class. Use some decaf to help you wind down after a long day of studying. And use it as a treat after you finish an exam. You deserve it.
Closing Time
Ah, the end of the semester! As a "seasoned" professor with over 25 years experience working in the higher education industrial complex, this is always the busiest, most hectic, most stressful time of the year—both for college students and for their instructors. Though I'm far removed from that scene personally, I always like to draw the comparison to closing time at the bar....bringing to mind some wisdom from the classic song, "Closing Time," that is now—wow!—two decades old from the group, Semisonic:

The Road to the Title RN: The 4 Things I Have Learned
Want to hear a scary story? Two words. Nursing school. No matter how you get there, how long it takes, or the detours you make on the road to the scrubs and long nights, nursing school is hard. The coursework is intense and the expectations are high. I mean can you expect anything less of a career that’s goal is patient care and you are in charge of hundreds of people on a daily basis. You are the difference between life and death in some cases. You will be the one to hold people’s hands as they cry, the one to provide the support of someone struggling alone. The bright smile to make a child’s day. It takes a lot to want to be a nurse, but here are some of the things that I have learned while on my way:

How to Homeschool Your Child
Public school learning has gotten worse over the years. This trend may lead you to wonder if you could or should homeschool your child. With a curriculum that you can control, homeschooling can be a huge benefit to you and your child. There’s no research saying that homeschooled kids are worse off, and it might even benefit your child in the long run. As long as you make sure you are meeting their social, emotional, and educational needs, homeschooling your child can be a great choice for both of you.

Differences Between Private and Public School
In the United States, public and private schools exist at every level of education, from pre-kindergarten through university programs. Public schools are funded and regulated by the state and/or federal government, while private schools are funded through tuition and donors and are not as strictly regulated. There are many differences between private and public school educations in the United States, so it's important to educate yourself on those differences before you commit your child or yourself to attend one or the other.

Hope for the Future
Because I always rave about how incredible my kids are, I’d like to give a few examples of why leaving Japan after just one year of teaching English is such a difficult decision to live with day by day. As you know, I love my kids and everything they do and everything they say. Aside from the obvious fact that the children here are unbiasedly better behaved and mannered, they have such a kind heart and soul towards everyone and everything to an extent that is just unheard of in the United States.
