Owen, I am very concerned about your progress. You have been honest with me and said that you are not keeping your class well organized as they should be. Missing classes and assignments will case a serious impact on your final grades. You need to catch up with all your classes and reading during this weekend. Let me know if you need any additional support to get you in good shape on your classes again.
Of course I am not trying to make up excuses on why I did so poorly, throughout this semester I have been dealing with my own internal problems and also illnesses. I have been dealing with family problems such as, potential divorces and differences in the family that have been arising
There are plenty of ways to be successful in Jr high. Some ways I am successful in Jr high are sports, football, basketball, and track One way I am successful is football. I am successful in football because I was a 1st string running back. I am fast so I could get away from people easily. I am strong so I can lower my shoulder to get more yards.
Despite the many hours I worked on the class, I still could only get C’s on the tests. I spent most of my free time correcting my quizzes and rewriting notes from the class. I was struggling- so much that I let my other classes slip away. At home, I would fight with my mother about my grades. She would yell at me saying, “Your brothers could always get As!
I barely got through geometry, and I thought that I wasn't going to survive. I failed tests and retook them for a better grade, I pushed myself and told myself to keep going no matter what. At the end of the year when finals came around I was still struggling. My teacher told me that I might have to stay another year. I was freaking out and didn’t know what to do.
Academic achievement has always come naturally for me, however, I understand the importance of good study habits and have implemented them in my weaker subjects, such as anatomy and physiology and psychology. By using what I learned throughout my time in Upward Bound about good study habits, I will be able to earn an adequate grade in my Bridge classes. Taking good notes and organizing them properly is the first and most crucial step to achieving a good grade in a difficult class. I surely knew this before entering the program in ninth grade, but the importance of this struck me during an Upward Bound workshop in my early years of the program, where we were shown examples of good notes in every subject. These examples were concise, easy to
In middle school I never had good grades I was always the student who did not understand the lesson. During this time I would get so frustrated i would just give up and not even try. From the beginning of 6th grade to the end of 7th I pretty much had all F’s maybe some B’s in my easy classes. My parents were very disappointed in me and i was disappointed in myself. After 7th grade i decided i was gonna switch gears and start really putting my right foot forward and start paying attentions in school and ask for help when I need it.
It's good to Fail. On my first day of highschool I walked into my first class and my teacher started off the my highschool career by saying... It is Ok to fail. At the time I thought he was lying or just telling us that and that he “didn't understand” what we were going through.
Waking up at 6:30 am is starting point of my day. While I get dressed for school, I write down what I need to achieve. Some of these goals are short term and some are long term. The activities that help me find resolutions are, time management, a positive attitude, and decision-making. This altered me by showing how these skills help me prepare for college.
I am also worried about finals week and just college tests in general, I know that the classes will be harder than they were in high school and I was never the best at taking tests and I get really bad anxiety when taking tests so that does really worry me. I was never really good at taking notes so I have had to learn to become a good note taker, so far it has been good. Studying for my college exams also worries me because I was never that good at studying and I am a
I made sure to start this semester off on the right foot by planning by days out better, avoiding distractions, and not taking on more responsibilities than I can handle. I am focusing this semester on improving my GPA, because it is important to me to graduate above a 3.0 and do well in my classes. Everyday I think about that grade I received, but I won’t let it define me. I messed up, and there is no one else to blame. I know that at the end of this semester when I receive that improved GPA, I can look back at how hard I’ve worked and revel in the pride while looking forward to my continuing success at UW
My math midterm is in just two days which bothers me more than anything because I doubt I’m ready for it. It’s hard to juggle all my classes because of the mental strain they put on me. I sometimes feel there is no time for fun. I don’t like being an ‘adult’. I find myself yelling at myself in replacement of the teachers that yelled at me in high school.
As a teenager in highschool, you go through many life changing experiences. Beginning as a young freshman to soon be one of the most empowered kids at school, also known as a senior. Senior year is the year you decide on the story of your life past this point! As a freshman, my mind always revolves around the question what year throughout High school is the most significant for the future ahead?. I personally believe 9th grade is definitely signified as the most effective part of your future because that’s the beginning of your life as a teen, determines whether you can handle the next grade or not, and setting goals at the beginning.
Throughout my life you have been there almost always. I admire you, for the ways you take on a problem, and how you handle things. You caring for my well being makes me feel good. Your time with me on the lake makes me feel better instantly. If I have a problem I come to you.
