The Importance Of Engaging In Learning

807 Words4 Pages

This semester has been unlike anything I have ever experienced. There’s no way that I can truly be happy with my education, and its a constant struggle to determine what is best for me. I feel like I am always trying to figure out what’s best for anyone but me, and frankly that is no longer going to work. I can not continue having an ache in my chest because of my stress, and crying during a test because of my anxiety. I am no longer doing the things I do and taking the classes I take to impress my parents, because at the end of the day they don’t seem to care. I am no longer going to push myself so hard to impress my peers, because at the end of the day they don’t seem to care either. I am not focused on other people’s success, and I am now shifting gears to have a spotlight on my own. …show more content…

Usually, I prefer to sit in the back of the class and not interact with my peers, or teacher, especially when it’s a whole group discussion. Up until this year, I have never been one to participate in class, rather it be asking questions or sharing my opinion. I always had a fear of speaking my mind and could never get the words out. It has been a mix of new found confidence and preparation that has allowed me to truly engage in the conversation happening in front of me. Although I felt like I was making great progress when it came to speaking in class, I feel like I did not use my resources effectively. I could have conferenced more, and rather than engaging in conversation with my friends, had more conversations with you especially to ensure that I understood the rubrics and

  • College Pressures William Zinsser Analysis

    1005 Words  | 5 Pages

    From the time students reach junior high, they’re constantly told that they’re supposed to know what their plan is after high school. Many students who don’t have a plan, are constantly reminded that they need to have their whole life figured out before they graduate high school. In “College Pressures” by William Zinsser, the author brings the issues of education systems to light and the unintended stress being brought upon students as a result. Having a deeper insight into his students academic fears, Zinsser uses this to his advantage by connecting to his readers. To better articulate the pressures put onto students, the essay transitions into letters of hopeless students slipped under the dean’s door at 4 A.M. Students who have papers, assignments, and tests all due the next day are full of fear and anxiety that their grades won’t be what they’ve imagined.

I want and will prove that students in my community are willing, determined, and more than capable of reaching their aspirations in whatever way that may

At this school when I was learning to become an independent individual I had many opportunities to work on my time management and scheduling, and I had to learn how to get over my emotions on my own as a teenager with no parent or sibling to express these feeling to.

At schools there are many elements or factors that can influence the teaching and learning process that may take place. Rasyid (2012) stated that there are four perennial truths that make the teaching and learning process possible to take place in the classroom. If one of these is not available, there will be no teaching and learning process, though the learning process itself may still take place, they are: (1) Teacher, (2) Students, (3) Material and (4) Context of time and place. All of them are related to one another.
