My First Visit to WTC

 

Topic    What is your first vivid memory?

Moving from one Country to the next, give one the joy of experiencing different cultures and personal growth.  It is interesting and amazing as I look back trying to lay hands on what was so vivid in my mind as I make La Crosse a home. I recall the first day I arrived Western Technical College Campus.

I leave at St. Rose Convent, 9^th Street La Crosse Wisconsin. The first day to Western Technical College, I had a bus right. I was shown a place where I could get a bus right to school. I had to position myself beside a placard to indicate to the bus driver I was interested to travel with the bus. What surprised me was the fact that from the Franciscan Sisters of Perpetual Adoration Residence to Western Technical College Campus is not all that a distance to have two bus exchange before getting to the school Campus. I was instructed on how to call the bus driver`s attention when I reached my destination. I was expected to drag a rope to indicate I was coming out at the next bus stop. There was a lot of anxiety corporate with the fact that I was not familiar with the environment, I kept on dragging the rope to indicate I was reaching my destination. Each time I discovered that it was not my exit location; I will simply say that sorry, it is still ahead. I struggled for a while before I become use to the area and when to indicate my exit to the bus driver.

When I reached the school campus, I was taken up by the enormous buildings and constructions around. Immediately, I found a sight where academic excellent is promoted. The mighty buildings indicate the number of students residing and benefiting from this Institution. Comparatively, I see the Institution as a pronounce College around Wisconsin. I was so inquisitive, I was asked myself many questions. No sooner before I got into what I was there for, I began realizing what my eyes saw at the first sight of the environment or Western Technical Campus. Many students were in class studying, teachers demonstrating and illustrating on the board. I thought to myself, this is where I will like to be. I have chosen the right place to study.

Looking at places and wondering where next I had to go, someone who might have noticed that I needed help, approached me to ask if I was in need? I told him I was looking for the office of the Councilor for International Students; he led me to his office. I found him the Council for International Students in his office. The gentle man who led me to the office greeted me and went his way. I had a warm welcome and we discussed some pertinent issues at length. I left the school side overwhelmed with joy and I looked forward to start school.

 I have always loved and treasured each person I come in contact with here in the states. The society is a very busy one, individuals are time conscious, and equality seems to reign. At the end, we struggle to be better citizens for a better tomorrow. I will never forget this blessed that in my life.

Children`s education by their parents

As food is essential for the human body, so also, education is essential for intellectual growth.. Parents must take special care to see that their children are educated intellectually by introducing them to how to read, pronounce and identify things; at a reasonable age of about four years, parents should enroll their children in grade or primary schools; also, good learning books with illustrations should be made accessible by parents to their children and parents should check on their children’s performance each day for accuracy and continuity. Finally, parents should bring up their children morally by helping them to distinguish between good and evil. As the saying goes “As child, as mother…” Reference is always made to parents especially in connection with their children`s behavior. The world will continue to have heroes and responsible individuals as long as our parents continuously recognize and see the need to educate their children.
