Junior Year-“Moving Up the Ladder” Last year was actually one of my best years in high school. I was much more focused on passing and getting into my books but I was more focused on getting everything done. My junior and sophomore year were pretty much tied in together since I was trying to get everything done to be in my right graduating class my senior year. I wanted to make sure that I got all of the credits I needed to graduate with my class. Last year I was in the tenth grade because I did not do so good in my ninth grade year the first time so I had to repeat the ninth grade because of this last year was a lot tougher than it probably should have been. That made no difference in how dedicated I was to do everything I had to do to get thirteen credits by the end of the year. My biggest success was getting everything done. I was able to complete my goal of reaching thirteen credits. This was my biggest success because I was …show more content…
The year started off pretty rough because I had to repeat the ninth grade and I was just now finally getting into the tenth. It was frustrating being behind in certain classes. I was successfully able to complete all of the classes that seemed to be so much harder for me the year before. I was more focused on my math and trying to make sure that I got everything done to get that credit I had missed in ninth grade. My biggest challenge was being in school on time; being tardy is still my biggest flaw in life due to my sleeping habits. I can remember the first day, walking into my math class and realizing I had a female teacher for the first time in years in a math class. I remember how she would teach me how to understand my math problems but wouldn’t just give me the answers. Her not giving in and giving me the answers made it much easier for me to have to work on my own to figure out my own problems and mistakes with my work. That made me stronger in
Maybe it’s the fact that I tend to stay in my room all weekend, which leads to people thinking I’m studying when in reality I am probably binge watching a TV show or maybe it’s my glasses, but most people who don’t know me too well assume that I am smart. Now that is a great thing for me because I don’t have to try as hard to impress them, but I end up finding myself in a bit of a problem. The problem is that everyone thinks I enjoy admiring school textbooks. But the truth is I’m usually admiring my Justin Bieber poster on my bedroom wall. Ever since I was in sixth grade I’ve been a huge fan of Bieber. His music always brought a feeling of calmness and back in the day his “never say never” motto, was what I lived by. I might still be living by that motto because I’ve decided to write this essay
On my first day of school in Seventh Grade, I noticed that I was excited much more than usual; I knew that the first year in Upper School would be drastically different from the years in Lower School. I had been a student of The Kew-Forest School ever since I was in Kindergarten, which means I knew many things about the school and I certainly would not get lost. However, going into seventh grade I had anticipated more difficult assignments and an abundance of tests and quizzes. Yet, even with all of these difficulties in the way, I managed to work my way around them. Along with that, I have joined together with new classmates and created friendships; I had also managed my friendships with other classmates from previous school years. The new teachers are truly amazing and they are almost flawlessly able to teach the concepts we need to learn in class. With amazing teachers, I also find myself doing very well and succeeding in all class subjects. With all of this in mind, I am easily able to say that my first trimester of Seventh Grade was truly an extraordinary and marvelous experience.
We did so much, and it went by so fast, faster than any other previous year, and I wish it hadn't. My favorite part of this year was all of the trips. We went to Philadelphia and saw amazing buildings hundreds of years old such as the liberty bell and independence hall. We visited the Preschool down the road, and I made a new little friend. My favorite of all, Washington D.C. I got to spend 2 school days with three of my best friends still while learning. This was my favorite trip because I got to spend school hours with people on other teams, while still having fun. Eighth grade has more privileges than the other years, but you have to use them wisely. I wasn't exactly the best at using them wisely. Teachers knew me to be very sassy because I had quite the
I had a good year in first grade. I became the best artist in the class. I started getting better at English. My first word was “bathroom.” I made two friends Michelle Sherman and Karen Calle. After that I started feeling better and actually liking this school. Everything felt better and worked out great!
In seventh grade I got really good grades and I made gold honor roll. During seventh grade someone stole everything in my locker. 8th grade was very hard I got kind of good grades. The first day of high school I was very nervous.
I have changed academically throughout my life in many ways. I feel like this year of school has just flied by. Last year in 6th grade I had many more missing assignments
It was up to me to get it together. My mother offered to give me other options in order to still graduate with my class. I had to not only catch up withmy 9th grade work but also try and keep up with my current grade. The pile of work kept growing bigger and bigger. Even after I was given another chance to fix things, it was still hard.
On my third grade, I took school more seriously, I started doing good. I motivated myself, I joined more activities, sports and events. This is the year when I made peace with my “terror” teacher too, and he even ended up my volleyball coach and became one of my closest and favorite teachers. I felt so relieved when I finally overcome my fear of my teacher. It taught me to be strong and not be scared over little things. When I was in grade 5, I had to stop school in the Philippines and continue my studies in Canada. It was tough for us because we’re starting life over again in a different country.
I have not had a single accomplishment that is worth writing about but I feel that my college completion will be one accomplishment that I will be most proud. I feel that I am taking one step forward in life that will make me become a more successful person.
Sophomore year of college was my hardest year. I started working on math classes for my degree in math, I was still runnin...
My biggest accomplishment in school is when I graduated high school early despite what others said. I decided that public high school was not for me, because of all of the distractions I had. So I begged my mom to transfer me to butterflied high school. I went one time a week to meet with my teacher were I turned in all my homework and took my tests. I feel that going
Freshmen year I was very optimistic, but also very nervous since I was now transforming from being middle school to high school. Keeping an open minded to it, I had sadly ran into my first problem. Usually with a problem there is always a resolution to make things better,
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.
Half way through that year my cousin who is like a brother to me decided it was time for him to move to Phoenix Arizona accompanied by his newly wedded wife and try to make a living there. Him leaving really hit me hard, I was pretty close to becoming depressed. During that time I preferred to keep my mind busy as a result my grades shot up almost forty percent. Math in not my favorite subject at all, but for the first time in my entire life I can say that I really enjoyed and looked forward to going to my first period math class, I had the highest grade in that particular class for that semester. For the rest of that school year after overcoming all my problems I was just going to school getting my work done, get home, finish homework and do some work around the house.
The seventh grade....what can I say? It has been a roller coaster, one full of notes, homework, deadlines, big assignments, deadlines, huge projects, speeches, presentations, and learning. I suppose that, looking back on it, I can honestly say that most of the year depended on how well I was able to read, write and adapt new skills. Every thing, in every class I have, in its own right, ties back to the classes that teach me the fundamentals of reading, writing, and speaking. Granted, most of these things we are taught early on, but we are always getting better, improving, revising, and adapting. I feel now I will start by talking about my weak suit and how the year has gone with it so far.
