myTakes: Education & Career

Growing up I've always been anxious to try new things. As I matured, I realized that these feelings were probably consistent with the fear of being judged or not fitting in. When encountering new situations, it is...

Back to school. A phrase everyone's groaned at, or shuddered at just thinking about it. Even I have at one point. When I was a child and I never realised how great school can be. Now don't get me wrong, certain aspects of...

Each year, a new set of students enter grade two and each year said group is confronted with a task they did not know enough about to dread - cursive: a beautiful style of handwriting, a faster alternative to printing,...

Some of you have already started your freshman year of college, and kudos to you, and some are packing up and getting ready to go. Either way, you're going to be embarking on a whole new experience, meeting new people,...

I think a lot of people will agree with me, especially students when I say that, The school system is inclined towards one type of student. What type? The type that can sit still and listen to lessons, do all of their...

I'm sick of people always telling me what they're gonna do or what they wanna do. I want a hot girlfriend, I want a house, I want a car, etc. They want that shot overnight so they get discouraged. They want it now. They...

It’s that time of year: back to school time. The time when all children return to the mystical building we call “school” and, hopefully, fill their minds with knowledge. As a teacher-to-be, I thought it may be pertinent...

I am continuing where I left off after my last mytake and what students in high school should do now before they go to University or college before they take out student debt. WHAT YOU SHOULD DO IN HIGH SCHOOL One regret...

It's that time of year again. Bright eyed children are waking up, putting on their best first day of school outfits, and hopping on the bus to get their education. Now is also the time where parents post their complaints...

I am an Undergraduate Senior at a University studying Psychology. Yes, I guess I’m what you’d call an individual engaging in a “useless” major. Hear me out. I initially majored in IT, a STEM related field and was...

So as I finished high school I rushed to the university I dreamt of for the last two years. This time I was sure about my decision. Nothing could hold me back. Except... not being accepted. Despite my hard work and good...

Hi, I'm gonna be a sophomore this year and if you're reading this, I'm gonna assume you're a freshman. (Unless you are an upperclassmen/random viewer just looking at this out of curiosity) I know you're probably super...

Anyone who wants to go to University (I am not talking about Community college or other parts of the world call it college) I am only talking about University. Please for the love of god don't go to get a degree!. Now...

Thus bringing me to my point: many sheltered rich kids are set up for failure. Freshman year, my best friend and I were sitting next to each other on the bus ride home. It was just a normal day: the freshman boys in the...

While I think that having the option of going to a girls school is good, especially in places rampant with sexism and violence against women, girls schools don’t have much of a place in modern society. I went to an all...

STEM. Science Mathematics Engineering and Technology. STEM is the future, yet so many girls my age are discouraged from participating in these subjects. Why? Males and Females are born with the same blank brain. Take the...
