Overall I believe this was a great year! At first, of course, it was hard to adjust to the fast pace of high school. However, throughout the year I began to enjoy the challenge of this AATH class and really felt I accomplished a lot. One of my greatest accomplishments was never scoring below a B on a test and usually scoring high A’s! Occasionally, I even scored an 100! I truly enjoyed most units this year in class, but my favorite was trigonometry. Even though this was the last unit we did, I believe it incorporated many skills we had learned over the year. Also, in this unit there were many different areas we explored: some that required a flexible mind and others that were straight to the point. During this year in class, other than learning math, I …show more content…
I felt everyone got along and worked together to help eachother out. I felt comfortable in class to ask questions to any of my peers and you! One of my best memories from this year was doing the conics project. I had a lot of fun with my group and really enjoyed the premise of the whole project. The funniest thing in this class was the fact every time we took a test, it was garbage day. I don’t think a test or quiz was taken without the pleasant garbage truck in the background; don’t worry we all learned how to tune it out! Even though it was a great year, if I had the chance, I would have liked to try and use the math resource center more for my questions and would have liked to spend more of my own time reviewing old tests. If I had done this, I would have understood the material better and would have also been more prepared for finals in the long run. The challenges of this math class have really helped me become a better student. My study habits grew and had a huge positive impact on my grades. I have become a more determined and overall a more open minded math student. A consistent challenge for me in the beginning of the year was the fast pace of the
Going back to school after summer was something I looked forward to. Seeing the friends I missed over the summer was something very cool. This past summer was by far my favorite. There was a party literally every night, I went to Florida to check out my future college, we went to Minnetonka on a friend's boat and much more. My favorite was going to the lake with everyone. We stayed out there all day and just hung out. Coming back to school was a huge transition. I had to change my sleep schedule from sleeping in until 11:30 AM to waking up at 6:00 AM. That was my toughest challenge excluding the need to begin a study habit during the weekdays. Studying is honestly my least favorite thing to do when there are so many other things I could be doing other than that. Overall the return to school was exciting for me considering it is Senior year, and we only have two semesters of school left! Time flies in High School and I never thought I would be here today!
When going through life learning is an everyday occurrence as each day is constantly filled with information that is used throughout the course of your life. Each day we get stronger and stronger in whatever we decide to put our minds to, weather that be academics, sports, our jobs we are constantly learning and growing on a daily basis. This semester I have grown in English as I personally felt that through the English 102 course I have been able to grasp some key concepts and writing techniques that will better me for the future. In this class there was a list of goals and outcomes that the instructor felt would be achievable and the best way to learn throughout the course. In each goal throughout this process I feel like I have improved to some degree but there is other things that I do need to touch up on a bit more to further my writing education outside the classroom.
Throughout the semester I have learned an astounding amount of information. The English 101 curriculum has not only taught me how to write in general, but also taught me a variety of ways to get my point across to the reader. Before I took English 101 I was an average writer at best, but now that I am taking a class that focuses on writing strategies I feel that I have been able to improve as a writer. During the course we were taught how to write an informative essay as well as how to write a persuasive essay. The type of writing that this class has taught me will most definitely help me with future classes as well as my future in the real world. Throughout the English 101 course I have been able to improve as a writer by composing essays
I liked that the discussions were more of a “discussion” and not just another assignment. I felt that they were more opinionated and I really enjoyed that. I liked reading what everybody else’s opinions were and how they felt about certain issues. I felt that was not alone in how I feel about how the government is being run or just about the government in general. With the weekly quiz assignments, I appreciated how quickly you got back to me and all the additional information you gave. I felt that you took the time and effort to read and then to respond, not just pass a grade. Truth be told, it was actually
The rest of year went great with a party at the end of the year to celebrate 2nd Grade. As well,I got to keep 2 things and they were: a green binder and a book called The Legacy of the Puppy. I will never ever forget 2nd Grade and the fun year that I had with my class and my awesome
In the English 102, we completed two main projects and many informal writings so far, whether about the personal idea, research paper or feedbacks, those many writing push me up to new level about writing, I mean I improved a lot in the grammar area, pathos, logic and ethos which are all the important parts in writing.
I participated in the same activities as I did in Sixth grade, I had a lot of my friends in my classes, and I had really good grades for the whole year! In seventh grade, Volleyball, Choir, and FCA were still really important to me. I still was a setter in volleyball, an alto in choir, and a christian in FCA which was really great! I had almost all of my friends on my same team and in my classes. I even met some new people that I did not know the year before. My teachers were all really nice and helped me achieve my goals. At the end of the school year, I ended up having all A+’s on my report card, except for science which was an A. We also had an awards ceremony at the end of the year and I got an award for high honor roll, straight A’s in every class, and I also got the Respect Award which I was very proud of! Seventh grade was a fantastic year and I loved everything about
During my semester in English 101, I learned to develop my skills of learning and understanding new terminologies from the poems, drama, short stories, and fiction. Seeing that this is my first semester having an English 101 class, it has helped me grow as a writer, critical thinker, reader, and has also built my vocabulary. There have been numerous activities that I have taken part in throughout this course that has helped me become more social with my peers and see things in other peoples opinion. I have developed more strength and overcome major areas I have struggled with throughout my English education just in this one course.
This week was challenging, and I enjoyed it. I had the opportunity to read some amazing papers, and to participate in an ethical math discussion. I feel that I'm learning more about myself by interacting with my classmates I never thought that I’d learn so much in so little time. Reading about wonderful organizations, and seeing the impact that they’re having on the community gives me hope for the future. I’m no longer surprised by the things that I’m learning, and reading about similar situations that I’ve encountered is refreshing. I’ve been able to share my stories with others, and it’s been amazing. The course outcomes have been a driving force for my final paper. I’ve used the information that has been presented to enhance my learning
My favorite class of my junior year would have to be my trigonometry class. Math has always been my favorite subject for as long as i can remember. However, that doesn’t necessarily mean it was my best subject. Some years i would do really good in my math class, and other years it would be a completely different story. Nevertheless, my trigonometry class was a good year of math for me. I would be getting 100 percents on almost every test. Not that the work was easy or anything but i was just able to comprehend most of the material. Since i was inside of a new school, i was sorta worried about lunch but it wasn’t as bad as i thought. I didn’t really know where to sit but i was trying to avoid sitting by myself. I just randomly sat at a table full of people that I thought would be friendly. Thankfully I was accepted and that became the table I sat at for the rest of the year. I made quite a few friends my junior year. The first couple friends I made were just people that were in my classes. Other than those people, I was still a stranger to most within the school. However, when track season finally started, that's when I really started to
In this first semester I learned different things in each class and I put them in practice inside and outside the school. Also, I had some college classes this semester and I did my best to have good grades. For example in English class I learned a few things, but they are the most important things that I learned for my life and knowledge. In this class I learned about debates, archetypes, and The Secret Life of Bees.
I have never been good at english and I have always needed help, particularly with some essays. Depending on what that topic is, I could do a good job but more often I need my essays to be looked over. This quarter, I have been having many assignments in my english class that are in fact essays. I was unsure about an essay that was assigned about two weeks ago, so after I had written my rough draft, I went to visit my English teacher during her office hours. The fact that my teacher is so nice and friendly also made it easier for me to actually attend here office hours and ask her questions about my essay. I specifically asked her questions about my introduction and conclusion, since those are the main parts of my essay that I was iffy about.
8th has been an amazing year so far. I have made many memories. I am very excited to go to High school next year. My favorite thing about middle school was the field activity program. We went on many exciting trips. My favorite subject in middle school was Technology. We got to build a lot of projects and had fun while building them. In 7th grade, we built a Seaperch submarine. We got separated into groups and had to work with our group to build the Seaperch. We learned to solder because we had to solder a part of the Seaperch. Our group had to make that we worked together to get our project done and not lose any of the parts. At the end, when everyone in our class was done with building their Seaperch we got to race them in a pool. In 6th grade, we built the m-bot. You had to work with your shoulder partner to build your M-Bot and then you had to write a program on the computer in order for the m-bot to move. When everyone was done with building their m-bots, Mr. Barnes made a course and our m-bot had to move through the course without crashing into anything.
I was able to overcome many problems and challenge myself in different aspects. At the very beginning of the year, I was very sensitive and having a bad experience meant a bad life to me. Later on, I started to realize what I am doing in school, and why I am here… I understood that life without ups and downs means you're died.
I thought that the teachers did a nice job with their classroom set up. I felt like I could have kept myself busy all day just by looking at the walls and seeing the pictures of presidents and famous historic quotes by famous people of our nations past. One thing I really enjoyed was the time the teachers allotted me at the end of each class to reflect to the class. Not only throughout my past middle school, and high school experiences but also, and most importantly, my current college experiences, the temptations that I have had to endure have definitely been rewarding.
