Personal Narrative: My Year In Geometry Honor

366 Words2 Pages

Through examination of the previous sophomores’ advice and my own predictions of the year to come, I have formulated a definitive set of goals I would like to accomplish in Algebra II Honors this year. Looking back at my past year in Geometry Honors, I have recognized many improvements I need to make to my personal studying habits to reach my full potential and excel in this course. Last year, I was slow to ask for help, many times waiting until it was too late to come to my teacher and ask them to explain the concepts on which I was still a bit fuzzy. This year I am making it one of my personal goals to work harder to fully comprehend the mathematical concepts and ask for assistance as soon as I start noticing a problem. I also would like to make it a goal to stay much more organized this …show more content…

My binder last year was messier than Donald Trump’s hairdo (on a good day), but this year I strive to keep a neat, organized, and well-labeled binder, as well as well-arranged notes and work. I purchased a pack of binder dividers and intend to keep separate sections for handouts, notes, homework, and corrected tests/follow-ups. I intend to keep up a rigorous study schedule and review the day’s notes every night we have algebra class. My goal for this year is to end with a ninety plus average and as long as I stay organized, study regularly, complete and submit all of my homework on time, utilize outside tools to help me with my work, thoroughly analyze and finish test corrections, and review for all tests and quizzes, I fully believe I will be able to achieve this goal. Last year, something that really helped me out was my teacher staying afterschool the day before we had a test to review the chapter’s material and go over the answers on the study guide with the students who stay after. I was wondering if you would be able to do this, as it would be a great help and greatly appreciated. I look forward to learning all that I can in your course

It wasn’t the hard class or the teacher or my studying style, but it was my mentality that was holding me back. I thought that what I had was confidence, when it was really just arrogance. That arrogance blinded me from the fact that AP calculus BC isn’t a typical high school course, it’s an actual college level course. It dawned to me that

A scene where you see this emotion from Macbeth is when killing Duncan in the film. Ward explains this saying, “Witness Fassbender's furrowed brow, flickering with agony; his lips drawn tight, unable to let a smile escape; his imposing posture, a stance of command and defiance directed as much at his inner pain as his outer charges. Indeed, his Macbeth is so consumed with the emotions that quicken his blood and cloud his mind that he can't mask his expressions and actions”(Ward 1). Macbeth can not seem to tell how to feel even though he has just stabbed a man to death. This can make Macbeth seen in many different ways.

One of the classes I was most excited for this school year was AP Physics. I had not taken a physics class since my freshman year, and I was extremely excited to begin doing physics at a higher level knowing that I had completed calculus. On the first day of class my excitement was proven warranted. Started the class, with an exciting competition to see what we had retained from our previous physics classes. The challenge was to roll a small metal ball off of a table and through a hole that is exactly the same size as the ball, but you only had one try.

Over the summer, I would like to take both geometry and Algebra II so I can take honors precalculus sophomore year. If I cannot take both of these courses over the summer I cannot take honors precalculus sophomore year and Calculus BC junior year. Taking both geometry and algebra II over the summer will help me in taking other rigorous math courses, as stated before, and other courses in other fields. I am interested in pursuing fields that are highly dependent on advanced math courses and skills.

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.

My freshman year of high school was difficult for me to adjust to and I did not perform to the best of my ability on my biology honors midterm. Due to this discrepancy, I was unable to be accepted into the Science Honor Society in junior year. Although disappointed that a singular grade had the ability to decide a part of my future two years later, I continued to work hard, especially in my science courses. Junior year, I decided to challenge myself and take an AP Physics course, even though I had never taken a physics course prior. This class was excruciatingly demanding and a new experience for someone who had never taken an AP class before.

I’ve always wondered why people with a little or a lot of power tend to treat you unjustly. I’ve experienced many times when people with power treated me poorly. There were times in school with teachers, in school with principles and even out in public places. When I experienced these moments they made me feel like there were something wrong with me or I was different. Also, it made me feel like I was different from others… but not in a good way.

Next year at Embry-Riddle I plan start studying Cyber Intelligence and Security. Ever since middle school I knew I had a developing interest in the field of computer science and spent most of my time building the skills to excel in my classes. One of the first projects I got to use the computer on was a video for the Oregon Trail. I decided that it would be best to design an advertisement to showcase the facts in a new and creative way. When my group turned the project in, and it was shown to the class my teacher rewrote the assignment according to what we did and used it as an example of great work when recruiting new people.

Member, National Honors Society, As an active member of National Honors Society one of our main tenets of leadership is building a strong presence in the community as a whole-school or otherwise. This manifested into offering after school tutoring in math and science areas where the school struggles in terms of college readiness. I was initially apprehensive, wondering if people would show up after school to study. But, I was pleasantly surprised at the number of people willing to take charge of their own learning and taking the after school tutoring extra help. Because I was actively tutoring students I was able to improve my own knowledge of the course material and continuously learn and improve myself.

The Honors College path has five different pathways which include: undergraduate research, study aboard, service learning, internships, and campus leadership. The two pathways that I will incorporate into my four years here at Western are service learning and internships. I have a love for helping the people not only in my community, but anywhere I can help. For my major, I will have to do internships and clinical rotations to obtain my degree. Even though I am only choosing two, I believe that they all may cross my path in the four years here at Western.
