not very talkative,paid little to no attention in class. Pretty much I didn 't participate at all. As a result,my kindergarden report card did not come out looking well. As much as I hate to say it,but it was the same thing for first,second,and third grade. I consistently struggled in class,I was still stuck in the maturation process. For me the biggest turning point came in fourth
When I was in fourth grade, Tucker and I met a kid that was four years older than us. We all started talking and later found out that he also lived by us . We then all started hanging out more and more until it was a daily occurrence. My family and I discovered his living conditions were not the best and his family didn’t have a whole lot of money.

He then headed back to the rug and took a seat. During the activity, Dominic appeared

In the play Into the Woods written by James Lapine and Stephen Sondheim, Little Red sings the song “I Know Things Now.” I chose the song “I Know Things Now” because I can relate to the lyrics. Most of the songs in Into the Woods have a theme to them and the song, “I Know Things Now,” definitely has a theme of maturity. Little Red does not listen to her mother when she does not stick to her path to her grandmother’s house. After she strays from the path, she ends up learning to listen to her mother

teachers apply different weights to each of these categories (Guskey, 2002a) that then are combined in idiosyncratic ways (see McMillan, 2001; McMillan, Myran, & Workman, 2002). The result is a "hodgepodge grade" that is just as confounded and impossible to interpret as a "physical condition" grade that combined height, weight, diet, and exercise would be (Brookhart & Nitko, 2008; Cross & Frary,
are many reasons I believe I should be inducted into National Honors Society. First, I maintain an A grade average. Second, I am a leader in my school and community. Third, I am very active with actives in and out of school. These are all great qualities to have. Maintaining good grades is very important to me. I study a couple of nights a week for quizzes and tests. If you don’t have decent grades you won’t get into college. Even now in high school you won’t be able to precipitate in clubs like NHS

of all high school students like how the hotline blings. It is logical that everyone would want to have all A’s and get into the best colleges but that idea is highly unrealistic. When nearing the end of a quarter , that is when you see the hungry grade seeking beasts come alive. Blood shot eyes, droopy bags under the eyes, and the essential coffee in hand is what one will see in the early hours of school in the hallways. Several hours of studying and homework devour the imaginative, happy souls of
I am writing to you because I’m trying to convince you that I’ve achieved the standards of a student that deserves an A in your class. In this letter you will find some characteristics and reasons why I should be awarded this letter grade. I ensure you that I am not a perfect person and I’m sure that I’ve made mistakes, but I know that I deserve an A in this class because of all the hard work I’ve put into this class. When I was little I couldn’t tell the difference between tree or three they both
What I am about to share with future students at Schenck High School has the ability to make or break your grade point average. Mr. Cousins is a great man and one of the smartest people I know. He also is an amazing teacher, but the subject matter he teaches leaves much to be desired. I am about to share my three step plan on how to pass any of Mr. Cousins classes. I do what to inform you what I mean by "pass". My three step plan only works for those who plan on passing and when I say passing I mean
them having bad grades. That is not the only thing, last year high schools had it that you had to have a D letter grade average to play sports they then boosted it up so that you have to have a C letter grade average to participate in sports. But then you realize that the grades that sports players get are not that good after all. Most high school sports players get are kept on the team barely holding on with grades like C’s and D’s. Therefore, I think that students that have bad grades should not be

I get very good grades because my parents have been very strict ever since I started school. I enjoy language arts and science, and I am mostly never late. This is because I am a number two learner on the 4MAT quiz. This means that I am I good learner that has to get direct instructions to do a project or classwork. It also means that I don’t like to be late to class and that will only be satisfied with my grades if they are a six or higher. I also like to get everything
an AP class, the struggle to keep a high grade, and the stress that comes with it all. In the first quarter, the grade I earned was an A. In actuality, the grade I should have received would have been a B, but you were kind enough to remove a few of the poorer grades. In the second quarter, I received a B, which I am not very proud of. I am very hard on myself and commonly chastise myself for a grade that another student would be satisfied with. The grade I believe I deserved for the first quarter
