Over the course of the past two semesters I have been studying under Paul Johnston in an effort to better my skills as a recording engineer, mixing engineer and producer. From the beginning, I didn’t have a clear outcome for what I had hoped to accomplish by the end of the course. This was the source of some problems for me because there were some moments where I felt like I was flying blind. Starting down a path with no clear end is difficult after all. I didn’t have a set goal for myself other than learning all I could from Paul, which is a broad goal.
The turning point for me when I realized what I was doing was not going to work was the mid-semester check-in email, where I had a 69% in math. This made me very upset and insecure about myself as a math student. Due to this experience, I grew so much as a student and became more mature in general. I met with my teacher and came up with a plan for the rest of the year to fix my study habits. This helped me as I finished the year with a B+ in math.
In 7th grade, I transferred from Bryan Middle school to Visitation Catholic School and there was not enough room in the accelerated math program, which ultimately set me behind. In high school, I found myself bored in math and knew I needed to challenge myself, so I ended up setting up a meeting with the math department head and we discussed my options. Sophomore year, I ended up taking two math classes, which was not easy; double the test, quizzes and lessons! However, by taking two math classes, I was able to get myself into a higher math class which ultimately was my goal, and achieving it was an amazing feeling.
It was difficult getting to where I am currently with trying to understand who I was? And who I am? Why I was going through what I was going through? How to understand and interpret what felt almost alien. It wasn’t until after getting into the University of South Carolina as a Biology major that I knew that that wasn’t what I was meant to be doing.
After chapter eight, my goal was to maintain my better work ethic and that became my most powerful diving force. I don’t think I met my standards, I feel I’ve been lazy and now I don’t have enough time to fully correct that. My goals changed after the eighth book, before I was just trying to get stuff down for a page without actually annotating. I think as a learner I need to figure something out beforehand, but also I need to observe how other people are doing it in order to base my own ethic. I feel like I’m realizing now
After scoring 10 points over what I needed, then I immediately enrolled in the local Community College. I started out by taking two remedial math classes and one college level English and Psychology 101. I found that I loved school and it turns out that I am amazing at
There is a lot of improvement I have to make. In accomplishment to this will take work hard to what I believe I deserve. I am intelligent an as a student I will put a great amount of hard work and wish to show the qualities id a student is capable to accomplish. Dedication and hard work will show the person I have become with all the effort I have put into this course.
I was unable to fully comprehend the math material being presented online. I had no fight left in me. The state of exhaustion I was feeling had me circling the drain. At this point, I knew I had to let something go, I knew I had to drop Math 14. I needed to focus on my health, my work and my English
As a child I always desired to study math and science. There is just something about solving problems, and finding solutions that catches my attention. Learning about the world, and how it function is very interesting to me. These subjects have help keep me wondering what I could learn next, and the reason being that I am a scholar in my classes. One accomplishment that I am proud of is being on the A&B honor roll.
“Anything is possible when your man smells like Old Spice and not like a lady”. This is the slogan Old Spice strives to convey to their target audience. In today’s society, companies have become smarter with their advertisements. The marketing world has figured out how to make use of a multitude of rhetorical strategies and skills that effectively persuade their audience to purchase the product being advertised. Old Spice, a men’s beauty product, is notorious for producing commercial advertisements that are comedic in nature and that appeal to the emotions and desires of their audience.
Don’t get unsatisfied. Just take it easy. Do it more securely with passion in the next year. Believe me, success will comes to you and give you infinite happiness. Don’t feel like you have to follow all the guidelines, take it as a fun and make it more entertaining.
Math has been one of my favorite subjects and I really liked Algebra this year as well. Although Spanish was the hardest class I have ever took, I learned it is fun to learn new languages. It may sound weird but, running has become something that I like to do and I am trying to start a habit of running everyday. Reading books has become one of my main pastimes this year because of the reading that we did in English.
