Spring semester I put myself in two classes that I thought would be easier for me, such as a gym and a film studies course. I really do believe I showed more effort during this semester. I participated in the study groups that my biology course held after hours. Although I could only go to the sessions that were held when I did not have work. Holding another big problem I have, which is lacking the time to meet with professors during their office hours, although, upon request I could meet with them outside of those hours, but working two jobs made it very difficult to plan around. It also gets frustrating when professors do not post grades until the last week of the semester. And when emailed about what my grade average was or the grades on
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
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.
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
Ding, Ding, Ding! It’s the start of 5th period. I am in Mr. Lippert’s 6th grade science class. Today, there is a test on the unit I hate so much. Something about magma that comes out of the water or something like that.
As the competition season and school began the amount of work for me to do increased. Having an AP class for the first time, three honors class, and a college course my balance for work slowly diminished. It grew harder and harder to focus on all of these but rather than quit I Singh 2 redoubled my effort. This was a significant point for me because I was going at my own problems alone. As the season progressed I got better until concert band season.
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.
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.
I mainly became a college student because my father had the resources for me to be able to apply with some scholarships. Without that, I'm not sure I would be here, because my family is very against student loans. My mom really pushed me to go to college as well, but I too have the interest in getting my first degree. My mother, father, and two older sisters have all had some college education. I'm not sure if this influenced me in anyway, besides one of my older sisters having trouble finishing her online courses.
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.
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.
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.
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
