How I Procrastinated My Way to a 4.0 GPA in University. Top Story - February 2021.
Full disclosure: my university uses a 12-point GPA scale and conversion isn't as simple as dividing by three. Instead, I had to convert each grade to a 4 point scale and find the average of that figure. In the end, my 11.96 CGPA translated to a 4-point GPA of 3.996. For this article, I'm going to round that out to 4 because it's easier than repeating 3.996 all the time or putting it in the title.

My Job Corps Experience, Chapter 3
The next morning I knew it was time to “Rise and Grind.” Now I’m not going to lie to you I’m not an early morning person. 9:30 or 10:30 am I can do, but 6:00 in the morning, I don’t know. We’re cutting it kind of close here Captain. I hear the knocks on the doors from SGA and staff, and I knew it was time to make moves. I went in the bathroom wash my face, brushed my teeth, put on some clothes, made sure I had my dorm room keys, made up my bed and I was out.

The Expansion of School-Community Partnerships
Across the country, states and communities are mobilizing to focus attention on young children and families, and many benefits could accrue from an integration of community–school efforts with early childhood initiatives. Ample evidence from research supports such integration. Recent studies demonstrate the importance of early cognitive stimulation and early emotional development, development promoted by a nurturing, reciprocal relationship with a primary caregiver and reinforced by others. But for too many infants and toddlers, this relationship gets off to a poor start, with parents who, because of their own circumstances, place their children in jeopardy. To address this need for better early childhood programs, this paper explores ways to promote the expansion of school–community partnerships (S–CPs) into early childhood learning through maximizing federal policy and employing other new strategies.

COVID-19 Versus Senioritis
Whether you are waiting for your high school diploma, taking those last few college credits to earn your degree, or have been retired for years, the term 'Senioritis' is nothing new. Defined by Google as a decline in motivation upon reaching the final year of school, 'Senioritis' is one of the most contagious viruses known to man. Symptoms of 'Senioritis' include chronic laziness, persistent missing assignments, and deadly apathy, with very few remedies for existing conditions. According to the Mental Apathy Treatment Hotline (MATH), global pandemics increase the severity of symptoms unparalleled to previous data and 2020/21 patients are unlikely to recover.

My Brother needed me.
And there it is, I thought to myself as I read the latest message in the chat. My student was late because he had been on Zoom with his little brother’s teacher. He had to help his sibling because his mother doesn’t speak English. Of course he was excused. How was I going to tell a thirteen-year-old trying to help his family he was in trouble with me for being late?

5 Things Every Kid Must have to Know in the Classroom
There are billions of people on the planet, what do you think differentiates them? Well, obviously you’d be thinking that names, country, religion differentiate us from others, and you are absolutely right about it. Different names have different origins and cultural values. Parents often associate their children’s names with religion and traditional norms and beliefs. Different names have different meanings and pronunciations in different countries, and other people won’t even know how to pronounce the name. For example, only Irish people know how to pronounce Aoife, and it will be really hard for you to pronounce the word if you have not heard it before.
