From this class, I have learned to work with other people, including students and adults, as well as leading a team, creating ideas, and problem
While at Nashoba, I have only had a few classes that have caused so much distress as my freshman World History class. I left eighth grade with a huge ego in history, but that was middle school and Mr. Sakellarion’s class was a whole new ballpark. Looking back, I should have dropped to accelerated and gotten an easy a, but my pride and love for that class got the better of me, and my grade. For those of you who were wise enough to stick with accelerated, Mr. Sakellarion’s tests and quizzes caused severe anxiety, breakdowns and stress from most of his students, however the day to day classes made that stress worthwhile.
After this class I really plan on to continue working on my listening skills. I believe that listening is a very big part in our culture and being able to pay attention to what they have to say will only help me out in the long run. This goal is important to me because I want to be the best at what I do and not listening will not get me anywhere and I have the motivation to do my best at everything, and being a competent listener is one of those things on my list. My last goal is to become very knowledgeable in my studies so when I am able to get a job I will be able to communicate with the people in my field.
I like the idea of being in a small class with students who are just as driven to succeed as I am. Not only that but I feel that having the challenge of applying learning to the real world will help me better my understanding of the material
Chapter Eleven Upperclassman. It is what every high schooler looks forward to being. Being an upperclassman came with many new parts of school that I did not get to experience before. Prom, donkey basketball, and being one of the older kids were only a few of the ways that made junior year the best. Having the opportunity to experience these milestones with my friends kept the year filled with never ending laughter and joy.
I’m wondering how it got to this point. How did it get to the point that my eye is gone and replaced by a gaping hole in the middle of my face? It is all because of that damned Odysseus. That sharp minded Odysseus playing his tricks on me, causing me so much pain. It started when I was herding my sheep, getting them across the vast mountains on my way home.
Throughout high school I have tried to take classes that were not only challenging, but would also be relevant to my future. I have taken nine AP level classes since sophomore year, and I have thrived in the difficult coursework that is meant to be college level. So far, I have proven my hard work and dedication by passing all of the AP tests thus far. I have also taken advantage of the advanced math coursework that is two years ahead than normal. I began this track since the fifth grade, and I continued and progressed all these year.
During my freshman year at Lakeridge High School I have learned so much information in so little time, I cannot believe how much I have grown as a person and as a student. In my Freshman English class, I have grown and expanded my knowledge of what I had barely known before. Coming from the Portland Public School District, I had not learned as much as the other kids coming in from Lakeridge Junior High. This was a major challenge for me in every class, especially English. First semester was extremely rough for me because I had to catch up on what everyone had already known for years; however, over time I have learned to develop my thoughts and look at different aspects of and see a situation through different perspectives.
This Semester was poor, because I didn 't put a lot of work in this Semester, right now my GPA is a 0.90 and I feel really upset with that grade , because its making me look bad and its making me look unprofessional. My plans to improve my grades are that I have to put more work into this and I have to start concentrating on all of my work, I also need to start listening to the teachers, and start doing all my homework so I can turn in it in the days when its due, that will help me out a lot with my grades. My goals if for me to get a 3.50 or higher because I would like for me to pass the 9 grade and keep on passing till I leave High School, so it will make me look really smart and good, that 's what I would like to
Failing Already Ring, ring! The bell sounded releasing us to 7th period. The second day of sophomore year was almost halfway over. Weaving my way through the crowded hallway of confused freshmen and smug upperclassmen, I glanced at my schedule, searching for my next class. AP World History.
The Challenging Exploration of my Strengths and Weaknesses in a Classroom Experience The academics at Brandeis University can be challenging and filled with workload, yet that is what converts them in rather compelling, fulfilling, and interesting courses. I think I expect every class I take, during these four undergraduate years, to fulfill me in all these distinct aspects. I expect to dig deeper into subjects, I expect my mind to be challenged, I expect the energy and passion from professors in the classroom experience.
My goal with standard six involved observing how my clinical teacher handled liabilities and how he interacted with co-workers and myself. I felt that it was important to look for these qualities, because they are important in the professional environment. How you handle legal responsibilities is not only important for the school, but also for the students. IEPs need to be addressed so that a quality education can be provided. Also, how a teacher interacts with coworkers can play into their hierarchal place amongst colleagues.
The first half of this semester was swift and I can’t believe how fast it passed by. College is a whole new world for me that I had never imagined with a lot of new experiences that I hope will shift me into a better and smarter person. There are more things I can do in college that I would have never dared to do in high school and I am happy for these new freedoms. I am able to eat in class, leave class without asking and they don’t care if I pay attention or not. My high school teachers would always tell me to wait for the bell, sometimes would not let me leave and if I did not pay attention they would yell.
I believe that I have learned many useful lessons this semester. At the start of this semester I honestly did not know how to write a proper essay. There were several big problems with my writing style. My poor grammar and lack-luster writing skills were a real problem. I feel more confident now that I have written some decent papers and come close to completing my first English class.
Being elected Vice President at the end of my freshman year I never thought that I would end up in the position I find myself in today, Class President during my senior year. Although not being in the top position, I started to plan out my year as to what I would do. That tuned out to plan out my year each year after that. I would soon be faced with problems that would be bigger than any other I had solved. Coming from a small school to a energetic inner city school located in the heart of Downtown Los Angeles changed who I was.
