My Education

What is your educational philosophy?

Education is very important to me. Having completed a high level of education will allow a person to not only sound intellectual when having a conversation with others, but succeed in the working industry. I also believe that with a high level of education you can be more respected in the social world.

How do you learn best?

I learn better in a lab setting because it is more hands on. When I am in a lecture I am usually dosing off or thinking about something else. Even when I am interested in the particular topic it is no fun having a monotone teacher talk for hours and hours. However, sometimes it is unavoidable. If that is the case then I usually do not pay attention in class. Some may ask how I learn the material and do well on the exams? Well, I will either teach myself, usually cramming right before a test reading over all the material we learned in the course of weeks in one night, or visit a tutor. Having one on one attention may seem selfish, but is the only way you can get me to pay attention!

What is you ideal system of education?

I believe more in private schools then public. I have been through private school almost my entire life except for two minor slip ups. In junior high I did not fully understand why my parents were sending me to a private school with ugly uniforms and strict rules. At recess we weren't even aloud to talk to boys, I seemed to always get in trouble for that. That is when I decided for my last year of junior high, 8th grade, I wanted out of the private school district and in with the public school district. Well...it was not what I pictured. Kids were mean and teachers were lazy. No one cared if you did well or went on to college. The public school in my district had on 35% of the kids going on to college, and even then you could not guarantee they would graduate. I went to an all girls high school, which is kind of ironic since I was usually the one caught with the boys and deemed the biggest flirt. To be honest though, so far, those were the best years of my life. After that I went back to public, only because my parents said they would pay for everything and I wouldn't even have to have a job. Once again I learned from my mistake that it was not for me and came back to another all girls private school.
