Three star


Sean Plumley his to pay dues in Kingston, Ontario, as a lot of players from Queen's college athletic scholarships during his first year


19-year-old outstanding local athletes as a Wolverine, his White pines in a variety of accolades over the years, this long.


17-year-old grade 12 high school students as the best of those three men to be awarded annually to the player Walter Lowe Memorial Trophy.


Plumley White pines, football, track and field, basketball, hockey, cross country, and participated in numerous sports.


But the Queen's football team during his rookie season in 2010, did not practice squad Plumley it farther than.


He is one of the regular season did not dress for the game.


So this past season. He dressed and 8 games during the season, 2011 every week for about four to start the game. The Queen's Golden Gaels the season 6-2.


"Good". I kind of like a little surprised but excited to actually be involved in the same time, "says Plumley.


"I have a little bit more confident this year. It's fun there to get you started. Good stuff. "


Playing mainly in the high school — receiver, Plumley crimes and running back and punt returner and kick.


But the 6-foot-3 in the youth field since taking up the first Kingston bulked. He put on approximately 25 pounds and now tips the scale at.

And the runner/receiver instead of absorbing the hits he was dishing them.


Mount, this "this year I am actually playing defense. Last year I got outside the line transitions. Or range of lines, "he says. "It is for me to get the hang of it, but I'm enjoying it while it was. I played too much of a special team this year.


"It gave me a different feeling about the game in high school. I didn't play much defense in high school. "


High school football at the University level in another difference is that the player's size, he says. Weighing approximately 230 pounds in high school offensive line, he said.


"Here, you've got O-line play must be at least 300 (lb). Certainly, size is a big if. "


Plumley is a second year of a four-year program at Queen 's, studying kinesiology. He passed for the original decision to change his mind, however, considered and now is leaning towards being a therapist.


Shawn's brother, Trevor, the Queen's last summer started his first year. He was also athletic football scholarship and environmental studies.


This is the first time with the team for the football season Trevor's wrist injury since. However, he was with the team on the sideline.


While a lot of each other, Sean and Trevor saw, but since it is very much Sean says, because they are following a different program.


"But we remain close and it's good."


Sean says they always played the sport to grow closer together. But in recent years, changes in their relationship.


"I think we're closer over the years. We always fight with kid stuff like that. My brother when I was in 11th grade, my last year in the white pine in the we got along pretty well, especially through football. "


He just had finished his first year at Queen 's, because what this year is full of expectations, Shawn Trevor.


"So he has a pretty good head. I remember my first year when they come in. Queen's football because you've got more time you put in it's kind of a big adjustment compared to high school. "


Sean was injured last season, and major. He pumped about the next year and the hard right is hoping to train up the next season.


"That's what I did in the last year and paid off."


He played professionally in the Football League Canada Day in honour of all his efforts, even though Sean is not adverse to the idea.


"I got a chance to ever thought it would be nice. I usually try to focus on my academics. Then, get any kind of bonus is athletically. It would be great. "

As we wrap up 2011, the Scholarship Coach also celebrates its first birthday. We hope that over the last year we've given you some meaningful insight on scholarship searching and unique opportunities. As you consider your 2012 resolutions, we urge you to make applying for scholarships one of them. Let's count down the top 10 scholarship tips that you can take with you into the New Year.


10. Steer clear of cash for counsel: Avoid paying for scholarship search sites. The best sites are free and easily accessible, including Fastweb.com, Scholarships.com, CollegeBoard.com, CollegeNet.com, and ScholarshipMonkey.com. "If you have to pay money to get money, it is probably a scam," says Fastweb publisher Mark Kantrowitz.


9. Clean up your Facebook page, then use social media to your advantage: We can't emphasize this enough—if you wouldn't show it to your grandma, don't post it on Facebook, no matter how good you think your privacy settings are. Instead, use Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter to your advantage by showcasing your talent, volunteer work, interests, and jobs.


8. Use your summer vacation to rack up bragging opportunities: The economy has forced many teens into summer unemployment. But it's still prime time to earn extracurricular, leadership, and community service experiences that will look awesome on your scholarship applications.


7. Look for scholarships close to home: Don't limit your scholarship search to the big names and national websites—you may have less competition and better opportunities in your own backyard. Start by checking with your high school guidance office, as many local businesses and organizations will post here first. Also, reach out to your or your parents' employers to see what scholarship opportunities or education assistance is available to you.


6. Search early and often: We say this over and over again, but we can't stress it enough—start your scholarship search as early as possible, and keep searching regularly. Many scholarships are open to juniors or even sophomores, and some of the more prestigious scholarships require months or even years of preparation. Plus, new scholarships are constantly being added.

5. Give plenty of advance notice for letters of recommendation: Want to ensure that your teacher or adviser writes you a superior letter of recommendation? Then make sure you ask politely in writing, provide lots of advance notice, and give them the background they need: details like past classes you've had with them, reminders of your history together, the focus of the scholarship, and detailed instructions. And don't forget to formally thank them afterwards!


4. Get your hands on a good proofreader: Sure, it may seem obvious to avoid writing in "text speak," but it does slip into college applications and scholarship essays. Even after you spell check, you should avoid errors like "thru" and "IMO" by having at least one other person look over your scholarship applications and essays. It's also a good idea to utilize your high school's writing center for advice on how to make your essays sound eloquent and polished.


[Learn more about proofreading college application essays.]


3. Be complete and be on time: There's a surefire way for you not to get noticed when applying for scholarships, and that's by turning in a late, incomplete, or incorrectly filled-out application. No single thing will make your application stand out, but making it complete and professional will keep it from being immediately trashed.


2. Fill out the FAFSA—no matter what your financial circumstances: If you don't take the time to complete your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), it could cost you thousands in grants, work-study, low-interest federal loans, and need-based scholarships. Filling out the FAFSA is the most important thing you can do to get your hands on need-based money to pay for college. Even if you don't think you're eligible, fill it out anyway—you may be surprised.


1. Send a thank you note: The one thing you should never forget happens to be something you should do after you receive a scholarship—and that's saying thank you. After you have the cash in hand, it's easy to forget this last step, but just as you would thank someone who gave you a birthday or graduation gift, you should thank the person or organization who awarded your scholarship. Scholarship sponsors want to know that their gift to you is appreciated.

Perubahan UUD 1945 mencantumkan dua pasal, pasal 22C dan 22D yang melahirkan sebuah lembaga baru. Dewan Perwakilan Daerah, sebuah lembaga representasi aspirasi dan kepentingan daerah.  Di dalamnya, terdapat porsi aspirasi yang menyuarakan kepentingan pendidikan masyarakat daerah. Kebijakan inilah yang menurutku, akan menjadi kunci bagi kemajuan tiap-tiap daerah.
Di  penghujung tahun 2011, saya berkesempatan mengikuti kegiatan coaching bagi sekolah RSBI yang diselenggarakan oleh PPPPTK bahasa. Kebetulan saya duduk bersama dengan Kepala Sekolah SMAN 3 Jayapura, Bapak Paulus Gandeguai. Saya sempat bertanya tentang konflik yang terus-menerus diberitakan di media dan bagaimana terpuruknya  SDM di sana. Namun beliau malah menunjukkan SMS dari Yohanes Surya bahwa siswanya baru saja memenangkan olimpiade sains. Bahkan beliau bercerita, ada 10 orang siswa SD memenangkan kontes robot dunia yang juga diikuti oleh perwakilan Indonesia seperti ITB. Sebuah prestasi yang luput dari pemberitaan yang selama ini hanya menampilkan sisi konflik di Papua.
Pemerintah Papua  ternyata memiliki kebijakan pendidikan yang visioner. Misalnya pada tahun 2020 akan lahir 100 orang doktor asli Papua. Saat ini mereka memberikan beasiswa full kepada anak-anak Papua hingga ke perguruan Tinggi dalam dan luar negeri. Tidak sedikit mahasiswa Papua yang belajar di Australia, Amerika, Eropa dan ratusan yang kuliah di Cina. Untuk memenangkan olimpiade sains saja, pemerintah rela menggelontorkan uang sebesar 28 milyar per tahun dengan mengirim siswa-siswi berprestasi berguru di Surya Institut. Sungguh suatu keberanian luar biasa demi investasi sumber daya manusia masa depan.
Jika saya menjadi anggota DPD RI, maka pendidikan adalah hal mutlak yang harus diprioritaskan sesuai dengan amanat UUD 1945 pasal 22D ayat 2 dan 3. Pembangunan sumber daya manusia adalah kunci utama pembuka kemajuan rakyat daerah. Sebesar apapun bantuan dan fasilitas yang diberikan pemerintah, jikalau rakyatnya belum cerdas, akan berdampak sia-sia. Kita sepatutnya bercermin pada negara-negara tetangga betapa mereka memperhatikan pendidikan dengan sangat serius. Alokasi dana dan pengawasan sungguh-sungguh diterapkan. Kita seharusnya belajar dari pengalaman kebijakan pembangunan Sukarno dan Suharto. Sukarno membangun karakteristik manusia yang mandiri dan kreatif namun masyarakatnya miskin. Suharto melakukan pembangunan fisik namun mengabaikan karakteristik manusianya sehingga SDMnya rapuh dan tidak kreatif.  Pembangunan semestinya menjalankan kedua-duanya, yakni pembangunan fisik dan sumber daya manusia.
Kita tentunya sadar bahwa selama ini kita hanyalah pasar tempat negara-negara lain melempar produknya-produknya. Kita adalah buruh yang ditempatkan pada tenaga-tenaga kasar dan lapangan di perusahaan-perusahaan besar milik asing. Lucunya, kita bangga mengekspor barang mentah ke luar negeri yang nantinya akan kita beli dalam bentuk barang jadi.
Jika saya menjadi anggota DPD RI, langkah-langkah yang akan dilakukan sesuai tugas pokok dan fungsi DPD RI adalah :
1.      Membuat desain anggaran pendidikan visioner yang pro pada rakyat miskin dan pemerataan aksesnya hingga wilayah pedalaman
2.       Menganggarkan beasiswa mulai jenjang wajib belajar 12 tahun hingga S-3 dengan kontrak wajib mengabdi pada daerah asalnya
3.      Memperhatikan kesejahteraan guru-guru yang mengabdi di pedalaman
4.       Mengawal setiap kebijakan pendidikan pemerintah daerah secara ketat
5.      Melakukan pengawasan berkala dan menyeluruh terhadap pelaksanaan program pendidikan sebab korupsi sudah mulai melekat pada dunia pendidikan.

Demikian tulisan sederhana ini, semoga bermanfaat dan menjadi inspirasi bagi siapapun yang memiliki wewenang dalam menentukan kebijakan pemerintahan
