The good, the bad, and the ugly experiences of school

Every student can recall a time when they really felt good about what they had learned, how they learned it, and knowing that’s one of their best educational experiences they’ve had. For myself, my best educational experience was in high school in my history classes. Although my teacher was actually very tough and that class was the one I did the poorest in, it was the one that was the most educational for me. The teacher had many methods of teaching that really appealed to me, fieldtrips, movies, and my least favorite taking notes until my hand felt like it was going to fall off.

            The worst educational experience I’ve ever had was in my 11^th grade physics class. The teacher himself was extremely incompetent in any math and expected people who had never seen calculus to know it for tests. Even passing that class was an achievement for everybody. When a teacher doesn’t know something and is attempting to pass his knowledge of nothing on, there is no point.  Which is probably the reason he was replaced halfway through the year, unfortunately our grades could not be erased like him. 

Its 3 am... lets go to McDonalds

Everyone can think of one place they go, one place they absolutely love, one place that they would go for the rest of their lives and be content. For many it could be a place where they had a first experience or just a memorable one; a place that not only I, but all my friends as well, consider to be our own is our McDonald's, also known as McDonalds. Ever since freshman year we have all gone to McDonalds for just about everything, birthdays, victories, and even right after prom. Making the McDonalds our own was easy, we've made it a home away from home to the point where we even know the names of everyone who works their. Even when we walk in they already have a guess of what we want. Not only does it have meaning to my friends and I, but all over the United States, and even the world, the golden arches are seen and known. In the United States McDonalds is seen with good conotation but in many places outside of the U.S. McDonalds is just seen as another way the U.S. Imposes its values.  

New Kids on the Block.... for now

Many aspects of college students from today and the past are what one could obviously say as being different, one such aspect would be the clothing college students wear. The styles of clothing from then, are much different then what they are now. 

Todays college student can be seen wearing just about anything to school, pajamas, walking around shirtless, or unbelievably revealing clothes. In the past students could have been seen wearing, shorts shorts on men, outrageous high heels, or large hoop earrings. But this in time has changed to what it is now. Many things are expressed by the type of clothes a person wears but one ideal that is similar to both is the freedom to express yourself through what you wear.

But this can also be seen in an exactly opposite way that if everyone is following the need to express themselves through freedom that they are all doing the exact opposite. Other meanings can also be derived from clothing, such as the wearing pajamas to class that so many college students do nowadays. It is simply just done because a college student is a usually a busy individual with a busy schedule, and not having to worry about what you're wearing is just one way to say "i dont care what i look like right now, I'm tired". Short shorts on men back in the 60's were worn at the time because they were acceptable, and in the eyes of the world today they are stereotypically only worn by gay individuals. But it can be seen today that many styles of the past are making comebacks, such as the large hoop earings that could be seen worn by many ladies of the past.

In general college students of today dress with a more relaxed attitude with less thought contributed to what everyone else will think. Though it appears that todays college students dress in a very much so lax manner it will be ever changing and the clothing and style that is worn today will continue evolving.

This is me

To keep it somewhat simple, my name is Davinder Singh. I was born in India and moved to the United States when I was 3 or 4. I've lived all over the northeastern coast of the U.S. moving from city to city. I couldnt read until the 2nd grade due to dyslexia. Since moving Maryland has definitely been my favorite place to live, the people are fun and diverse and have opened my eyes to many new experiences. Like many people i've had myown life changing experience, last november I was in a near fatal accident that almost cost me my life and my leg. But fortunately my leg was saved and so was my life, and I've decided to be like the heroes that saved my life and become an EMT to serve my community and save lives.
