CAL­SOAP ESSAY
When I was at the young age of 3, the first word that ever struck me confused was “gifted”. That was what my 2nd grade teacher exclaimed to my parents “Dalston is a gifted student” during a parent teacher meeting. I never knew what “gifted” meant, never understood the concept. All I knew was I was placed in classes with other kids that were smarter than me. Come 3rd, 4th and 5th grade, the word gifted (GATE) became more and more apparent. I started to win honor rolls, perfect attendance, awards that I thought were a little overdone. But then again, now that I apply for this

Excellence award from President Barack Obama. In 6th grade I had received an IB

I was a member of the Boy Scouts of America since 3rd grade. During my involvement with BSA, I had learned so many things that had now become the foundation of my young adulthood (i.e. building tents, being independent, teamwork, and most of all being responsible). One of the things that I would never forget is the opportunity of actually visiting the supreme court and play out a mock trial in front of an actual supreme court judge. I was able to act out my natural prosecuting skills. At the same time I was maintaining my grades and perfect attendance at school.

    Daniel Kaffee Research Paper

    I do know you. Daniel AlliStair Kaffee, born June 8th, 1964 at Boston Mercy Hospital. Your father's Lionel Kaffee, former Navy Judge Advocate and Attorney General, of the United States, died 1985. You went to Harvard Law on a Navy scholarship, probably because that's what your father wanted you to do, and now you're just treading water for the three years you've gotta serve in the JAG Corps, just kinda layin' low til you can get out and get a real job. And if that's the situation, that's fine, I won't tell anyone. But my feeling is that if this case is handled in the same fast-food, slick-ass, Persian Bazaar manner with which you seem to handle everything else, something's gonna get missed. And I wouldn't be doing my job if I allowed Dawson…

    Boy Scouts Accomplishments

    At the age of six, I embarked on something that would have a profound affect on my life. I joined the Boy Scouts of America. Here, I felt I was becoming a part of something big. I was joining an international community of men and women who dedicate their lives to developing young men into leaders. During my twelfth year as a dedicated scout, I was given the opportunity to demonstrate lasting leadership skills as I am currently in the process of achieving Eagle rank, the highest and most honorable level in the boy scouts. This honor will mark my transition from childhood to adulthood.…

    For my court observation, I was able to sit in a Texas State District Court. The judge of the court I observed was Honorable Judge Etta J. Mullin. Everything was pretty much what I expected to see. I wasn’t expecting anything outrageous to happen like on the television. I was expecting everything to be very professional and very boring, like watching the C-SPAN channel.…

    Eagle Scout Research Paper

    My peers deemed this activity as an unpopular pastime. The number of scouts that I had originally grown up with dwindled as they matured and fell victim to the ecstasy of conforming. Despite this period of self-discovery and awkwardness, Scouting remained a part of my routine throughout high school. I eventually took on more leadership roles and began to pursue more badges for the narrow road of an Eagle Scout, a path that only about five percent of all Boy Scouts meet. I started to neglect this age of conformity and aimed to find my true character. My junior year of high school was coming to an end, and I was closer than ever to the pinnacle. Soon, I was standing in front of my family and my fellow Scouts reciting a speech that would sum up eleven years of my scouting career in a few hundred words, and it hit me. This was my revelation. My days as a scout draws to an end, but the values that I have taken from this experience will never leave me. I no longer hesitate when I see someone in need, I continue to respect others regardless of their situation, and I live my life proudly based on the twelve adjectives of the Scout…

    School Fieldwork Study

    My field study was conducted at the Talented and Gifted School for Young Scholars (T.A.G.) Middle School located in the East Harlem section of Manhattan. T.A.G. is a selective public school, governed by the NYC Department of Education. It was founded in 1989 as a magnet program within the school system’s District 4, and became an independent K-8 gifted and talented school in 2004. T.A.G. is one of only three gifted and talented programs in New York City. It serves students identified with gifted abilities in grades K-8. Children are admitted to kindergarten through 2nd grade based on their scores on two tests, the Otis-Lennon School Abilities Test (OLSAT) and the Bracken School Readiness Assessment (BSRA). Children whose scores put them in the 97th percentile nationally are eligible. There are a handful of seats open in the upper grades. Middle school admission is based on grades, standardized test scores and teacher recommendations. There are approximately 500 students comprised mainly of African-American, Hispanic, and Middle Eastern backgrounds, reportedly only 2% of the student body is Caucasian. Each grade level has two classes of up to 25 students each. The school is located in a building that houses four other mini schools, a common practice in schools these days. For instance the high school I attended has been divided into five different high schools.…
