Recommended: Distractions in class
Learning is fun, but it is also hard work. It’s so extraordinarily well documented as to be almost a truism at this point, but multitasking and particularly technology (e.g., cell phones, email) can make the deep concentration needed for real learning difficult or impossible. Set aside dedicated time for learning and minimize interruptions. When you read, find a quiet place, and leave your phone behind. If you’re taking a class or participating in a reading group, take handwritten notes, which improve retention and understanding, and leave laptops, mobiles devices, and other disrupting technologies in your car or bag far out of reach.
Three Important Events Revision In my thirteen years of living on this planet, I have had some important events in my life that turned into a good ending. Some of those things include getting a new pet, traveling across the country, and being in the parade. All of these events had some impact on my life. The first important event in my life that I can think of happened four years ago in fifth grade.
Focus on what you want and life and achieve
Misdiagnosed November was when the pain started. I was dizzy at church one Wednesday night. I did not think much of it. Though, now, I think I should have. Looking back, I should have mentioned it to someone there or I should gone home early, but I did not.
As a writer I would give myself a 5 out of 10 because writing is not one of my strengths at all even though I try my hardest. English is my second language so for the majority of my high school career I was in ESL classes instead of regular English I, English II, or English III classes. It was not until my senior year that I got into a regular English IV class. Senior year in high school was the first time I was in a regular english class. It was quite challenge
I have always been fascinated with technology from a very early age. I remember one day when I was in the third grade, I was intrigued to see my Dad typing something strange in the laptop and it magically transformed into a webpage. Being naturally inquisitive, I later found out that the strange script was written in Java and this started the exploratory journey to learn more about the various aspects about web technology and programming. My parents bought me a Java book and I was quickly able to write basic code, which then led to me learning much more in the AP Computer Science class. This interest in technology made me do well in my classes, since they were all mostly themed on IT.
Academically, I have taken eight college level courses and have been enrolled in mostly honors class since my freshmen year of highschool. However, I have always feel like there are numerous areas I need improvement on. One aspect I want to improve on is my writing skills. Throughout my entire highschool career, I have gotten comments that my essays contained awkward wording, confusing sentences, and poor grammar. Going forward I want to improve on my writing and have the essays read nicely.
My Last Rebuttal: They said how everybody with dyslexia can easily read cursive, my mom was dyslexic, and she knew a lot of dyslexic people, guess what, none of them could read cursive and still struggled with it after they were taught it, so no, it isn 't easier for everybody with dyslexia to read cursive. Heck my mom still struggles to read cursive and so do all of her friends.
I’m not very good at writing. This paper that you're reading right now was a struggle for me to think of it. If I really try and work and keep brainstorming I can write a great paper, but it takes me forever. I’m not a writer. I hate writing.
Oops! Not again! It seems every time you write a paragraph you mess up, with the most obvious mistakes, like comma misplacing, transitions, conventions, and sentence fluency. In the past I have made quite a few mistakes in my writing. Hopefully, I can fix my weaknesses.
One day, I was out with my family at a French bakery. As I opened the door, the sweet scent of baked goods entered my nostrils, an old man approached and he said thank you in a very thick French accent. I asked the old man if he was French and he replied with “oui je suis français”( yes i 'm French). I responded with “ Je ne suis pas français mais je peux parle français”( I 'm not French but I can speak French) .
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.
A self-directed learner constantly engages in four core activities: Planning, Organizing, Monitoring and evaluating his learning processes (Corno, 1989; Zimmerman and Paulsen, 1995.) Being self-motivated and directed entails using all skills that enable one to metacognitively, motivationally and behaviouraly participate in one’s own learning process (Zimmerman, 1986.) An active learner knows what to study, how to learn; they are confident in the effort they deploy towards learning. Some recognize the fact that effort and effective strategies are some of the key factors that determine who a self-directed learner is.
Self-discipline helps me with this because instead of wasting my time with something meaningless, I budget my time between my homework for all my classes and can exceptionally complete everything I need to for school. Focus helps me with this because when one is on the computer, there are a great deal of distractions. Focus lets me ignore these wastes of time and concentrate on my assignment, instead of watching videos of pigeons play ping-pong. As a result of doing these simple things, I complete assignments on time, never freak out about tests, and earn stellar
Technology stimulates my imagination. Technology is also fun, because you learn more, and can experience more on computers, because computer is Technology. You can apply for jobs, and schools using technology. There is all type of technology. That’s all the world be on.
