As a young girl born in the Bronx, New York, and raised in the suburban area of Miramar, Florida, the Caribbean influence that I was personally afflicted upon never showed a shy face due to both of my parents being born on the beautiful island of Trinidad and Tobago. Throughout the duration of my life in high school, I’ve joined many clubs, for example S.A.D.D, Art Club, Spanish Honor Society, Indian Student Association, and Anime Club to encourage my creative side, gain the opportunity to volunteer in many great places like Feeding South Florida, and to be able to make lifelong friends. Other than being a part of Top 10%, I was a part of the IB Program and apart of the Dual Enrollment Program with Broward College. But, during my senior year, I had the opportunity to be a part of the Early Admission Program with Broward College. Other than volunteering through the school, I’ve also volunteer my time at an Assisted Living Facility for the elderly and dance and sing in many charitable and cultural shows. While reflecting upon my fours year of attending Miramar High School, one quote that stands out and I would like to share with you, was by a famous woman Prime Minister named, Indira Gandhi, and she states, “You cannot shake hands with

Sitting in my tedious middle school art class and pondering how I could entertain my bored peers, I was unable to concentrate on my teacher’s instructions for copying step-by-step an uninspired painting of a galloping horse. Staring mindlessly at our classroom’s dull clay depiction of Aristotle, I suddenly had an idea. I painted what I saw: blue and yellow hair and black and red tears wetting his face. Though my art teacher wasn’t thrilled, my classmates laughed, granting me the transient fulfillment I craved.

I came across this internship while I was scrolling through my university’s career page and it immediately caught my eye.

Stating the curriculum goal of developing “an appreciation of mathematics for its beauty and elegance, and developing mathematics that is useful for careers and jobs and further study” should be “secondary to the development of mathematics that has the capacity to understand and transform aspects of the lives of students, both as current and future citizens.” (Atweh & Singh, 2011, p. 3) Therein lies the dilemma, for teachers of mathematics, is the discipline of mathematics about acquiring deep conceptual understanding for further study or building solid foundations and confidence for everyday problem solving or a balance of both? My personal ethos is that mathematics education should enable all students, from whatever background, to understand the role of mathematics and acquire awareness into

Being raised under the strong influence of a courageous Danish grandmother, I learned that best way to go through life was to be brave and take new opportunities with an adventurous spirit. As the oldest in a family of five children, I soon discovered how important it was to be independent and self-reliant. By middle school, my love of music became a healthy escape from the busy household, and I spent many hours practicing piano and in band rehearsals as a clarinetist. This interest in music opened a door to university that might have otherwise remained closed. Attending the University of Western Ontario as a music education student was a perfect match for me. I had always wanted to be a teacher. I have childhood memories of lining up all of my stuff animals on my bed in front of a makeshift chalkboard, and little Debbie holding a ruler as a pointer stick. I can hardly believe that such a small spark could lead to a lifetime of educational service far from home.

My last year of middle school had a strong impact on my interest in computer science. We had to interview people for our career fair project, and I choose to interview a computer programmer. I was interested in his work which had influenced my decision to pursue computer science in College. I was fortunate enough to be able to attend a school where they offered classes for people interested in computers. The school I attend is known to be the best high school in the district academic wise, and I was able to take advantage of the opportunities given to me as a student by taking many courses that involved the usage of computers. The more that I learned, the more determined I was to continue learning. At Springfield High School, I eagerly seized the chance to take classes in as many different areas as possible. While I

Going back to school is a major decision that I’ve made. I have given it plenty of thoughts, do some research about the schools and soul searching.

There are huge illustrations that testify the presence of mathematics in everything that we are doing and in nature all around us. It was that broad exposure that led me to write about the importance of mathematics in our life. First, coming from a different country, and starting off with a different cultural background while searching for college admission in the United States to pursuing my personal academic interests. The road to success was not an easy path for me, but I succeeded in obtaining my bachelor’s degree in mathematics at Jersey City University. After obtaining my B.A., I wanted to pursue my educational achievement to higher degree in Mathematics, but with work and a growing family I had to postpone my dream for a few years. About a year and a half ago while having a fruitful conversation with my brother on returning back school for higher learning in mathematics, and he advised me to look into Piedmont College where its program is designed to prepare students with similar interests as me. I immediately started to look into the program to sort out courses that I need to take until the completion of the entire program. After the submission of my application for admission to Piedmont College, I have received an acceptance letter from this School to welcome me as an official graduated student to Piedmont College. This decision was one of the best choices I have ever made. Last summer and early this year, I had the opportunity to take two courses that will

In June of 2015, I achieved my greatest personal achievement to date; I graduated high school. Graduations are a rite of passage in our culture. Hallmark even has an entire section of cards dedicated to the occasion. For me personally, graduating high school ignited an orb of hope and positivity within me that allows me to reflect upon the numerous years of my education as a journey with both peaks and valleys. High school was a valley that required me to attain new levels of determination and perseverance. I can vividly remember running up to my guidance counselor after the ceremony to thank her and just repeating, “ I did it!” in a state of euphoria or incredulity at my own accomplishment. For most of my high school career I did not believe that I would live to see the class of 2015 graduate let alone graduate with them.
