Personal Narrative: Pursuing The American Dream

Only to learn that it was only half of my freshman class. Before high school, I never changed classes before. In high school, we switched classes and I was not used to having new people in every single class. Freshman year through junior year I was just going through the motions. I would go to my

As a Junior in his English class, Mawi needs to get a 96 on the final to get an A in the class. Unfortunately, this teacher is said to have impossible finals. “There was only one way I could ace the final: reread every book that we had covered. Take notes and have them fresh in my mind. So I did it… The test was as hard as I thought it would be.

My Writing Experience I have never been good writing, I was never really exposed to it until my tenth grade year in high school. It was my first year at Clinton High school, August 17, 2013, I had the hardest english teacher in my grade. I already had imagined how that year was going to go. Looking back at it now it was not as bad I thought it would be I learned a lot from that class. The beginning of the year started of rough as we started writing our first essay.

I thought to myself "this is not what I studied last night". It was two years ago in my English class, Mrs.Brown was telling us about a pop quiz we were gonna have at the end of the week. Just like any other student I began to become agitated not knowing what the could possibly be on. So that night I went home and studied everything i learned during that marking

Throughout my English writing journey I was able to learn many different techniques different teachers or professors in an essay. Since middle school, I remember my English teacher teaching me how to write an essay and the rule towards it. She would always never use “In this essay, I will be talking about” well every teacher I had kept reminding me not to do that. Over the years new methods of a standard essay will be taught. The standard essay would be MLA, Times New Roman, 12 pt, double spaced, 5 paragraphs, an introduction and conclusion.

Now most people would be nervous of moving to a new school, but all we had to do was move through new hallways since our middle and high school are connected. Freshman year was probably the hardest year I've had looking back at it now and shaped me to be who I am today. Back in 2013 my grandpa had passed away from a rare form of lung cancer and my Mina (grandma) was suffering on and off from it, having no one to take care of her my mom would stay at her house 5 to 6 days out of the week and she would go there right after work. I would hardly see my mom except in the mornings before school and by than she would be sleeping after driving home from Danbury at 5am. My dad was hardly around from work and just not wanting to be home.

I arrived in this country thinking I was going to be in the most challenging classes and be at the top but reality smacked me in the face the first day I entered eighth grade. To my disadvantage the counselors did not care about my previous grades in Puerto Rico. Seeing that my parents were only able to speak Spanish, the school deduced my English was not well-developed enough and consequently I was placed in English-language learner (ELL) classes. After testing me in reading, writing, and hearing I was

I had been homeschooled my entire school career, but after a lot of failing tests and crying, my mom decided it would be best if I tried public school. I was not into the idea at all. I thought that those public school kids would destroy me, they knew so much more than I did, (Not true) and had so much more social experience (Also not true). I had been going to church activities for my entire life, and my parents made it a point to sign me up for weekend painting camps, and classes at the rec center. Yet it was nothing compared to the 6+ hours these kids have been at school every day.

His grade went down two letter grades. Once he came back to school, he had a hard time getting his grade back up because he missed important day of notes so when a test came, he didn 't know what to do. His grade struggled for the rest of the semester. Another reason Students should not skip is because this semester I was sick, but I wasn’t that sick and I still stayed home from school. While I was at home, I missed a half a unit and a test prep in algebra and the unit test was the next day.

Mar/Apr2002, Vol. 22 Issue 4, p26 5p one of the main reasons why students drop out of college is caused by the low of founds. At the beginning, they save money for the first year in college but then due to the high cost of the class and the books, they do not have any alternative than start work. Students work in jobs like McDonalds because their lack of experience and there, the pupils must work thirty hours per week to pay their education. Other luckier students can labor part time jobs and with twelve or fifteen hours pay their classes.

From there she worked as a computer literacy teacher for 8th graders . But then they started to overload her with work being a high school algebra teacher,and 8th grade math teacher . Evelyn couldn 't no longer handle all 3 jobs and came to a conclusion to quit . The last thing she did before before retirement with her husband was major in computer science . It was something she never learned before and wanted to give a open mind to new things .

It was nice to meet you as well at Eagle Pride Night. I did check for you on that assignment, and I did put a zero because I give students that are absent the full five days to make up a quiz. However, the quiz needs to be made up after school. I did let students know this, every day and unfortunately he had until this past Monday to come after school to make up the quiz. Since the time has passed he no longer can make up the quiz.

I was grounded for a week straight with tutorial after school every single day and he sent me to an academy on Saturday that taught me computer math at Rice University. With the tutors and the academy, I had no chance of fulling around because every time I got stuck on a problem they made me do 3 problems of the same kind. I was given more work to make sure my brain gets
