The financial needs that I see my community, my home, and my self needing are jobs, money, and education. I have seen people get laid off from their jobs. Especially teachers, the most important people in a student’s life. Through out my high school years I have seen my teacher get pink slipped, or watch them leave to a different school. This effects our education not only because are we use to the way they taught us in the past years, but as well because we are losing a great friendship. But financial needs do not only occur in schools, they also seem to happen in many homes, an example is my mother she had to raise me on her own because my father was not mature enough to accept he had a drinking problem . My mother and I went through many struggles together. She did not have a job for about a year and three months. She struggled with paying bills and with buying the supplies we needed in our house. It was a hard time for my family because my mom thought we were going to lose our home. This situation has taught me that our education is a huge part of life. That we must change the world among ourselves.
For my leadership project I took the time to tutor my little fourth grade neighbor that attends Parmalee Elementary school. The reason why I choose to tutor a little elementary student is because I wanted to show him I cared about other people’s education. As well as showing him why school is an extremely important part of our lives. Why he should learn how to stay out of trouble since a young age. To teach him the knowledge he will need for the next level of his life. Overall this project was to set a good image in why leadership is important in our lives and in our community, in how to change everything that is affecting us in school at home, to be able to find solutions to all the problems that are happening around us.
Discipline in School and at Home

Current research ... for parents, teachers and students to learn life skills and build a sense of community ... of community is also related to their job satisfaction and effectiveness.

My skills in school have improved since day one. I remembered when I started high school and I showed my teachers I did not care about my education, but little by little I managed to step up my game and I realized school is something we are always going to have in life. Starting my senior year was a little bit more difficult then other students because I made mistakes in the past three years of high school, and I had to make up credits I was be hide in. The skills that I have learned through out my four years of high school are very strong now. I can say that, now as a senior my skills in school have improved thanks to all my teacher teachers here at the magnet program. I learned to never give up on my dreams, which means I am smart in my own special way. I have learned to speak out when I have problems with anything occurring in my life, but the most important is how to be a leader to younger people. This is way I am ready to show the Magnet community that I am ready for graduation, to show them how much I have grown since my freshmen year. A big accomplishment I feel proud of is my reading because I started with six AR my freshmen year and now as a senior I improved with reaching up to seventy-seven AR points. This is something big for me because I use to dislike reading, but now I like reading books for fun. The Magnet program has taught us what we are going to need the most. This program has prepared us for college and life.
