"Good morning class we have a new student" Ms. Williams, My 8th grade Algebra 1 teacher proclaimed. "Would you stand up for us and tell the class your name," My teacher stated as she pointed to the new girl in class. The new student stood nervously and brushed a piece of her hair behind her ear, as she shyly told the class her name in a tone barely above a whisper. It had been the middle of the school year and the girl had transferred to our math class. Lucky for her, our class was filled with playful middle schoolers who didn’t take math seriously. As the rest of the school days went by, I watched my classmate take accurate notes and always be attentive in class. Anytime the teacher asked a question she would have the answers. She always worked …show more content…

After taking an algebra test, she made the highest grade with about 2 or 3 points from a perfect score. After class, I watched her go to the teacher and to ask how she got the questions wrong and how she could improve. She took the initiative to get help and push to be better even with the best score in the class. At the end of the year we were tested at the end of course for our Algebra 1 and English 1 classes. The day of the test, I noticed how she diligently worked. When everybody walked out of the testing room she continued to take her time, being the last one to finish. The next week when getting our scores our teachers teased us saying that everybody failed their tests. When they fooled my classmate with her score of an F she started to cry. Seeing that their joke surprised us, our teachers said that most of the class passed. They even told my classmate that she had the highest scores on both tests with a perfect 100 on both. She was excited and I was ecstatic for her because I witnessed that she worked hard and completely deserved her grades. Seeing that my classmate was diligent towards her academics inspired me to adapt her …show more content…

If I wanted to make outstanding grades, I needed to be the girl in class who took accurate notes, studied hard, and went to the teacher to ask questions about my mistakes on a test even if I scored a 98. I needed to be just like my hard-working classmate. When I entered high school, I went in with a new attitude and a plan that I would make all A’s throughout high school. I started writing down everything that my teachers would say in class, making sure to keep tabs on assignments and project due dates, and studying effectively for tests. Whenever I did not understand material in class, I would make sure to raise my hand or go to the teacher after class. My goal was always to make 100 percent on assignments but, anytime I did not reach my goal I would ask the teacher about what I missed and how I could have done better. I noticed that my grades improved and I was steps closer to making all A’s in high school. Adapting my classmate’s tenacity and dedication to be an excellent student, allowed me to improve in

If I do not understand something discussed in class, I use my own time outside of class to do further research on the subject or ask questions. Furthermore, ambition is one of my stronger characteristics that has helped me get to the point where I am at currently in my education. Only a handful of sophomores, myself included, chose to take AP United States History even though it is common knowledge it requires lots of effort and work so that one will be able to achieve a passing grade. It is true that AP U.S. History is not the easiest class to take, but I knew what I was getting into when I enrolled in it, and I was not looking for an easy class. I work diligently to keep my grade up in AP U.S. History by turning in only carefully written essays, retaking tests as needed, as well as reading and completing notes for each chapter we cover.

The perfectionism and diligence I had developed after years of training translated into my schoolwork. My hard work and attention to detail allowed me to maintain high marks throughout high school; however, it made me obsess over results by putting too much pressure on myself and getting frustrated when my grades were short of my expectations. As a result, I found an efficient way to structure my studying so I could get good grades while enjoying the process of learning and not burning myself out.

The Renaissance and the Enlightenment are two significant periods in world history, specifically in European history. Both periods have distinctive characteristics but share the notion of being periods of discovery in many aspects of life and living in this world. Each period has its own set of beliefs – values – ideals or “worldview”, which can be thought as a framework of principles through which people interpret the world, how society should be shaped and the need to progress on a journey that improves their individual and collective worth. It is a commonly held view that the Renaissance focus was on the artistic side of human life, whereas the Enlightenment concentrated on the intellectual development for mankind.

Last year as sophomores we both took Ap world history and then had to take the end of the year Ap test. I remember my friend telling me the 2nd week school started, that her teacher was already giving them timed essays to prepare them for the Ap test.

That showed me how good of a teacher hers was and how mine wasn't so much.
