The Picky Nursing Instructor
She said “I’m going to weed you out” and my breath stopped in my throat. It was the second semester of Nursing school and the first semester I would be going to our local hospital for clinical experience, not sitting in an auditorium taking notes. This can’t be right, I thought. She must be joking. However, the tall mahogany-skinned instructor set her mouth in a straight line and didn’t break into a smile.

Class of 2020 - your lost generation.
Crossing a stage, for less than 30 seconds, receiving a fake piece of rolled up paper that represents the last most significant portion of your life – spanning years, not just months – may seem trivial and unnecessary to some. But for others, this was a dream, a long awaited and well worked for goal – a fragile reality, that as it turns out was susceptible to breaking.

Using Worksheets to Succeed in ESL Learning
If you are learning a language such as English, it can be tough to justify doing homework and worksheets and additional activities.

I Hate Grammar & Punctuation
As writers, people assume we are clever little word wizards. And I’m sure most of you are, but I am not. So enjoy watching me try to learn simple parts of speech. It’s a hot mess and sort of a waste of time because I don’t feel as though I learned anything.

A Sleepover Meeting
“Some people arrive and make such a beautiful impact on your life, you can barely remember what life was like without them,” by Anna Taylor. A person can impact you in many ways. In Taiwan’s elementary school, we have the same homeroom teacher every two years. I met a person who opened my horizons after four years in elementary school. Before I got up to 5th grade, I think school really is just for fun and meet some new friends, nothing more. However, everything changes after I met this teacher who name is “Chen Bo Han.” Ever since then, my view changed. He broadens my scope of mind, my knowledge, my habit, and my vision to the world; he is more than just a homeroom teacher, he is also my coach and my mentor.

The Ways of Dealing with a Broken School System
Richard Williams said school can be defined as “Six Cruel Hours Of Our Lives.” School is a place to gain knowledge, not to get A’s. Parents send their children to school to prepare for their unknown future. However, while the world keeps changing and improving, the school system has not changed much for hundreds of years. And yet in today’s classroom, the most common questions that the students ask their teacher are “will this be on the test?” and “when will this due”? Schools are just for those people who can “score” higher. Schools are just like a factory in nowadays that the students are being required to follow instructions like “open your book and turn to page 40” and “start reading or solving problems.” Moreover, there are differences between who is smart and who can score better. To innovate the school system, schools should allow students to find their own passion and get rid of the grading system; most importantly, find out how students learn and provide them the classes that can truly assist them to gain knowledge.

French better than English?
You see, I am a French person from Canada with — as you may have guessed — French as first language. I grew up surrounded by this language, strongly attached to its melody and syllables. English was of course, always a part of my childhood, learning it in school, through the social medias, etc. But it always remained my ''second-language-that-I-needed-to-perfect-to-have-an-international-job'' later in the future. That's why I should excuse myself in advance for any following mistakes that may cause some bloody type of damage to your eyes.

Fantastic Cases in Failure: The Failure Paradox
Introduction Over the course of [the] semester I have learned a lot about how to fail correctly and move on from failure, but there are three different areas from this class in which I think I have learned the most. I still have a lot of work to do if I want to apply what I have learned, but I will try to use what I have learned successfully. Even if I do fail, a lot of what I have learned in this course is about moving on from failure and learning from mistakes, so I can continue to apply what I have learned even then.
