Once Upon the First Day of School
My first day on the job was ethereal. A week after receiving my temporary teaching license (the length of that process alone makes any future teacher run the other way), I landed a position as a middle school English/Language Arts teacher. Glamorous, I know. What is more, I was assigned to teach at a so-called urban school (inner city school) after quitting a corporate job and going through the 1,001 hoops of my county's public school process.

Your junior and senior year of high school are ones of excitement and "lasts." Last first day, last prom, last concert, last home high school football game. It's exciting and looking into the future is intimidating but also simultaneously rather inviting. Perhaps the most intimidating part is trying to figure out what you want to do for the rest of your life at the age of 17.

For three or more years, you toiled. Essays, deadlines, hand-ins, stress, terror, elation, despair, and a liver-tremblingly large amount of vodka; University was, as X Factor finalists like to say, an emotional rollercoaster. But at the end of it all, you got your slightly pricey piece of parchment, you wore your oddly angular hat, and you returned home a hero. Yet, who knew that this was where the real struggle was set to start? Here are the top three biggest problems you face as a post-grad...
Harry BullmorePublished 6 years ago in Journal6 Interesting Things I've Noticed Going to Community College
My experience so far as a community college student... 1. Going to a community college is very eye-opening; you don't always get to see the norm. For example, at a fancy-pants university, there's obviously the fresh out of high school kids all the way up to the 20 something-year-olds seniors about to graduate, finally.
Reacting
Reacting. Part I As I sit in my office, typing up all the late paperwork I’ve had accumulating since last week, I can’t help but think about people’s reactions to stress. And just that sentence alone, can be pulled apart and interpreted a few different ways: “I can’t help but think about people’s reactions to stress.” What is a reaction and what is stress? It could be almost anything for anyone. Some people react to triggers while others react to just about anything. Just exactly how is it that they react? There’s an array of different emotions that start off a reaction and from there the possibilities are endless. Its actually quite beautiful if you come to think of it, there’s no way of telling how someone is going to react. If they are going to be calm, sensible, logical in their thinking. Or maybe they’ll get angry, agitated, and rudely yet gracefully inundate our ears with the sound of profane language that only the lucky bystanders, witnessing this all unfold, can experience and bask in its awkward glory. Yes, I know. It's most likely going to be the latter of the two. But why?
L.S. VittoPublished 6 years ago in EducationBusiness Ideas That Have Failed
I started off as attempting to be an internet search consultant in 2001. I went so far as to get myself a business plan with the City of Mountain View. I thought I could market doing internet searches for other people, but I didn’t advertise since I had no budget for advertising and the whole thing fell apart. I mean, I didn’t really try, nor did I put my profile up at Referral Key, for example, like I did with IriatheIrrepressible.com. When I started up Tough B, Inc., I managed to change my name on Referral Key, a networking website that I’m also hardly using right now in February 2018.
