I Hated Sixth Form
I'm going to start off by saying that sixth form started out pretty fun. I'd happily do first year again. I made some great friends and enjoyed my classes pretty well. I don't have much to complain about the first year other than I did amazingly terrible on my AS exams. Three Us. Yay.

Random Thoughts of a Student Teacher (RTOAST)
Week 1: (Week of March 14, 2018) Side-note: Hello there, I am Ms. Kelley. I am a senior student at Lander University studying Special Education. Each week or so, I don’t know, I will be discussing a topic in education. I will NOT be disclosing any confidential information that I see in the classroom. That would be bad, mmkay? These journals are for education topics only. I am also going to be very informal in these topics. I’ll try to keep the teacher talk to a minimum. Let’s get started!

How to Survive Your First Year of University
Chose a program that you love. When going through the view books at all of your university choices, you need to chose something that calls to you. Chose a major that you have always found interest in. Something you genuinely feel passionate about. This is the main topic and subject area that you will be learning about for the next four years, and what you want the rest of your life to be centred around after you graduate (no pressure). If you feel passionate about more than one thing, then pick both a major in one subject area, and a minor in another. If you can't chose between the two, and you're feeling ambitious, major in both! The important thing is to chose something that you really want to do, something that means something to you, and something you have put a lot of thought into.

Education on Bullying and Mental Well Being Is Key
As a kid, I was bullied, teased, and made fun of. I spent a very large majority of time in the counselor's office. I was a very depressed kid. This started when I was in the second grade and continued through the rest of my schooling. I shared my issues with the School counselors and with my parents. It really was to no avail, because the harassment never stopped.

Underappreciated Music Programs in Education
Budget cuts throughout the U.S. have caused severe losses in funding to public school music programs. Furthermore, under appreciated programs then suffer because of low participation rates, lack of equipment, and district priorities. This leads music in schools to be viewed as nerdy, uncool, and boring. This negative outlook and lack of participation has created an unequal balance of funding in schools. Schools are far more likely to designate their funds to the attractive and crowd-pleasing sports programs rather than to the disadvantaged music programs. This leaves these rejected groups to scrounge for money on their own.
