Again, this made me nearly drop those classes. Again, some of the other class which were not science were hard for me to cope with from the beginning of the semester till the end of the semester. One of it was English 12 and History 20. I had to go to the writing center about three times on every assignment that I do. Spending of my time on those subject discipline that the other which affected me on of
As a junior, I am currently enrolled in Pre-AP Pre-Calculus for my math course. For my science course junior year, I am enrolled in Pre-AP Biology. I plan on taking AP Calculus and AP Biology my senior year of high school. Extracurriculars and organizations that I participate in high school include; Girl Scouts, Key Club, Academic Decathlon, treasurer of California Scholarship Federation, tutoring, mentoring, and
When assignments and test/quiz material became available, I always kept note of the work and began preparing my study material and practiced. Once finished with the assignment, I would go back several times and reread it and compare it to the grading rubric. This presents my personal perfectionism and concern to the task at hand. (warrant) My biggest downfall this semester would be my lack of vocal participation within the classroom.
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
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.
My first score is use first sequence:30. This is defiantly me, I am always asking a million questions. I would always ask for detailed directions or examples. It even got to the point to where they had to read to me. when it came to quizzes, they would give me multiple choices.
Firstborns tend to feel responsible for other people, projects, or the world at large according to a book titled Do You Know Who You Are? Flipping through the 200 page book I realized I don’t know myself entirely but one thing I do know is my interest in the medical field. There wasn’t one particular day I woke up and realized I had an interest in the medical field, it all happened within a year span. Always being the quiet person in class I deprived myself from many experiences.
This meant that I had to allocate my time appropriately. That included missing out on my favorite television shows, getting fewer hours of sleep, and staying at home instead of going out with my friends. This was very difficult, but I continued to push myself and not make excuses. Even though my hard work paid off in some areas, I was not able to reach my goal completely. Through all the tears, the sleepless nights, and over-studying for my IB classes, I still felt like I had not worked to my potential.
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.
In chapter one I was surprised to find many terms from when I was in my freshman year of high school. I had to take principles of science and learn about hypotheses, control groups, independent variables, etc. I never put together using those terms with the human body and behaviors of the human body, I always thought of those terms with scientific theories and experiments. It also never did occur to me that psychology was a type of science. I always thought of it as of what I saw on television, like reading minds and telepathic communication and what not, so I was very surprised to find that it was a type of science.
Shortly after, the bell rang to go to first period. Thankfully, Amanda and I had the same first period class, but that was one of two classes that we had together. That left me to experience the rest of my classes all by myself. The first couple of periods were not too bad, but as the day went on, I was really dreading lunchtime. Out of the six kids who were former St. Michael’s students, I was the only one who had
In this essay, I will show some of the great learning I have found about myself through nutrition. I have learned so much about myself, especially in the food groups and nutrients areas. I learned about myself in the food groups, physical activity, water, and sleep. One of my favorite activities to do is to play volleyball, competitively, or just for fun. I also like horseback riding, but I don’t do that much during the school year.
In each of my classroom arrangements, I have created enough room for my students and myself to comfortably be able to move freely through the classroom. Allowing me to attend to my students needs as quickly as possible. I have also created enough space for my students to wiggle and move to help them refocus and become re-engaged and sustain their attention towards my lesson plan. “Movement increases oxygen and blood flow, enhancing alertness and helping students keep bodies and minds engaged the task at hand. That engagement helps reduce off-task behavior, which makes classroom management easier” (Responsive classroom, 2014).
My time from the beginning of Middle school to now was bittersweet: there were good times and bad. When I was in grade six, I was a completely different person. I did not care about school as much and was loose about matters. This lead to rather lazy work habits, and lower achievement of grades. My grades at the time weren’t as bad as some of my peers but were still lacking effort.
I check my watch as I race to catch my first ever Austin Metro bus home. My metro bus ride to school in the morning proved disastrous. Taking the southbound rather than the northbound bus had left me confused while waiting for the return bus and embarrassed while explaining the reason for my late arrival to school. It 's 4:33. Oh man.
