The Four-Year Expectation
When I was 18 years old, I started my music degree at Memorial University of Newfoundland. It was my first time living away from home, my first time feeling independent, and the first time I had to make adult decisions by myself.

The Life of a PhD Student
Whilst studying for my Bachelor’s and Master’s degree, I had a vision that I would do a PhD. This dream saw me swanning around in a white lab coat, performing faultless experiments and producing groundbreaking data with a P value of <0.001. My publications would be globally recognised, and my career would be accelerated into the gateway of medical research. I would be lauded for my contribution to research and my expertise envied in the field. The reality is very different!

Read a Book... And Write in It
As a schoolchild, my classmates and I were instructed NOT to write in our books. This, we were routinely told, was because at the end of the school year, we would have to turn in our books to our teachers for their inspection. If we were good students and our books were in acceptable enough shape and if we did not bang them up too bad, we could return the books without incident and without our parents getting fined money. Of course, we never inherited the books in perfect condition in the first place and there was some elaborate — and mysterious — grading scale the teachers used to keep tabs on all of this.

Education Majors, Their Insight
“What a child is taught, is what they become.” This is a quote, in my eyes, that reflects a teacher’s job description. When a child is taught all of the core subjects, they automatically have one that speaks to them which later becomes their life’s work. If one teacher can make that huge of an impact on a student’s life, then knowledge truly is power. The process of teaching and learning involves the concept of give and take. The teacher gives and takes that information in order to give away to another. Anyone can teach and learn information, but it’s the way how to approach the relationship in classroom with the students. The relationships between students and teachers are important because children will learn better if they feel as if they have a connection to someone they can trust. Without teachers we would not have doctors, lawyers, police officers, accountants, or scientists.
