Navigating the route from high school to post-secondary education is no easy feat but participating in programs similar to EduExplora helped me find my way. Thus, knowing how difficult it can be, I want to work for EduExplora to help students discover their passions, build their intellectual curiosity, and provide advice from the knowledge I have gained from my own experiences (ex. choosing a university and career, admissions process, being an international student, etc), while also ensuring that they have fun during the program. I believe that developing critical thinking skills and fostering an enthusiasm for learning at a young age is fundamentally important. Furthermore, I love working with children and adolescents and am passionate about …show more content…

a. Residence advisor at the University of British Columbia (UBC): In this role, my goal was to help my residents succeed academically, find personal growth, and have the best possible experience living on campus. I was in charge of supervising ~100 residents on my own and 2 buildings with a team of 7 advisors. I fostered an inclusive community and positivity in a residential setting by planning engaging events, facilitating check-ins each term, and ensuring that everyone felt at home.

After summer break, I returned to Westlake High School for my junior year, feeling as if something was missing. The decision to spearhead the creation of a chapter of the Science National Honor Society (SNHS) at my school arose because of my desire to establish a niche where high school students could express their shared passion for the sciences. The SNHS would provide enlightening scientific activities and opportunities for students, and the Science club would serve as a path to introduce members into the society. I initially proposed the creation of the society in a meeting with the Principal and Board of Education. Quite a few obstacles had to be overcome to start a new organization in the school.

Last March, I came to realize that all of my focus was only on school, sports, and work and I didn't take the time to help out my community in enough ways as I should. I wanted to do something that I would enjoy and knew that I loved kids so I decided to email our elementary school principal and see if there was anything I could do to help out in the school. So ever since then, I started going in every Thursday to volunteer with whatever he needed me to do. Sometimes I would work for him, other times for the librarian, secretary, or other teachers.

The viewpoint of the current regulations for Initial Entry Training (IET) Soldiers is largely influenced by the words of MG John M. Schofield. In his speech he would touch on several topics that he found to be of great concern with the treatment of new recruits. “The discipline which makes the soldiers of a free country reliable in battle is not to be gained by harsh or tyrannical treatment” (Mann; AR 350-6). At issue is the psychological treatment of the trainees. With the treatment of IET Soldiers outlined in AR 350-6, the emphasis of being aware of the mental stresses and the psychological effects of any harsh or tyrannical behavior by Drill Sergeants that could be place upon these Soldiers is reiterated numerous times.

Numerous factors have motivated me to want to become a school leader, such as colleagues who are role models in my life, my desire to make a change and to be an advocate for students who may struggle to support themselves. However, one project that I have been involved with that has ignited my desire to become a school leader was becoming the first English Language Learner (ELL) educator in my building in my first year as a full-time teacher. In previous years, my district had struggled with ELLs entering our middle school because we were such a low-incidence district. Due to a lack of enrollment and being on the cusp of the RETELL initiative, we did not have any teachers who were SEI endorsed or prepared to meet the various needs of the incoming ELL students. However, after some time as a long-term substitute English Language Arts educator, my administration asked if I would be interested in pursuing a master’s degree that would align with the needs of the ELL students.
