Struggling is inevitable. In any aspect of life, especially during high school and teen years, challenges are constantly introduced. My personal experience with educational difficulty involves certain teaching methods and particular advanced classes. As an individual with the capability of successfully taking on more school work and challenges, I have taken every possible advanced class offered to me by my high school. This undertaking does not come without a fair amount of difficulty, however, none so difficult that I was unable to keep an exceptional grade average. Prior to taking College-level Chemistry, I had excelled in regular Chemistry. However, my high school had employed a new chemistry teacher whom I had hoped would enable me to learn
As many people have told me before, it is a very different ballgame than middle school’s easy going years. There is much more work, the classes are harder, and the environment is completely different. Many people’s grades may slip and they may cower in fear at the barrage of assignments they receive class after class. Unlike other people, I am confident in my ability to excel at all classes and to sustain exemplary grades. Therefore, while many are trembling in fear at the prodigious assignments and work is bombarding them from all angles, I will be at ease, knowing that whatever obstacle is thrown my way, I will conquer it and be its own
"To be successful, you must accept all challenges that come your way. You can't just accept the ones you like" Mike Gafka. Gafka’s quote summarizes my Junior year as I had to grew accustom to many difficulties, face many challenges, and struggles such as time management as well as how I decided to take three Ap classes during my Junior year. Which were Ap US History, Physics, and English not to mention having a Math 140 zero period class and a Network+ computer course outside of school which made me have a busy schedule. Nevertheless I learned and gain a lot of new knowledge throughout my Junior year.
In high school, I have enrolled in AP, Pre-AP, and Dual Credit classes to prepare for the exceptionally challenging classes that lie ahead, especially in the subject of science. Taking Pre-AP/AP and dual credit classes has enabled me to persevere and has further improved my work ethic. When I was a junior, I had a lot on my plate. I was on a very demanding dance team, in National Honor Society, Service Cord, and had academics to worry about. I struggled for a long time with the course load, and contemplated on dropping some classes, but I didn’t. I began working harder than ever before, after practice ended at about 5:30pm, I would go to George Memorial Library every day to do homework until the library closed at 9:00pm. Then I would go home and continue doing my homework until it was complete. That year I learned how dedicated I was to my academics. The same drive that I had that year will be the same drive that will get me thorough
All of my classes in high school I passed with no struggle. I would cram all the knowledge that I needed for a test the night before, so I thought college would not be any different. A week or two before my first ever college exam the professor announced that if we had not already been study, then we should start to right away. Being a young naive freshmen, I kind of blew the teacher off. Telling myself that I did not need to waste the next few weeks studying for one exam. So I waited until the last day to study. You might have an idea of what happened next. I failed the exam. Failing so bad that it would be nearly impossible for me to still get a C in the course. I could not even look at myself. The thought of disappointing my parents was making my stomach turn. This fear of failing the class was tearing me apart. The only chance at passing this class was if I turned myself into the perfect student. This meant turning things in on time, studying days in advance for exams, and going to my professor’s office hours. And that is exactly what I did. By some seriously hard work, long nights, and over a hundred red bulls, I was able to achieve a passing grade with a
During my early education, meaning elementary school and middle school, I was a very average student. I gave an average amount of effort to my grades, and I received above average results. This did not bother me, until the end of my 8th-grade year. At this point in the year, I was filling out what classes I desired to take the following year, my freshman year. I realized that from this point forward, I had to take my education much more serious, in order to get accepted to whichever college I desired. therefore, when planning my classes, I decided to challenge myself more than I ever have in the past, and take multiple honors courses. I assumed because of my grades, that I had what it took to be an honors-level student, but I was very wrong. One teacher, Mrs. Johnson, made me realize the kind of effort, time and energy needed to be devoted to my education.
We were born into the world as individuals that are destined for greatness, but instead we are regenerated by society to meet certain standards. As we grow older we aspire to be doctors, teachers, and firemen because we are taught to assimilate and think within certain limitations. There are a distinct few who stray away from this pattern and dream bigger than the common careers of society. Some of which aspire to be something more eccentric like a bike courier, flavorist, or greeting card artist. Although these children are amazingly unique, they are deemed to be unsuccessful and detached from society. There are two types of people in the world that are most easiest to influence, which are children and fools. Children are innocent and docile,
Another class that i'm failing is cultural geography because everything we do in that class is pointless.When are we ever going to need to know about other people's cultures, what if we don't care, what if we need something else that's more important in the future.I don't get some of the stuff that we do in that class like knowing what a place is just by it's surroundings to know where this person lives or where this other person lives.Even though I find that class pointless I will still try to do my work and get a passing grade.
In 2011, USA Today reported that more than thirty-eight percent of students enrolled in higher education were over the age of twenty-five. This is a stunning fact because most adults are starting a family at a younger age. Starting a family at a young age, going back to school to receive a higher education, and having a job are tough on such a young person. In order to balance school, a family, and a job people should set aside time for studying for school, make sure that they take some time for themselves, and make sure that they take time for their family. In order to successfully balance a family, a job, and school a person has to make time for each subject.
There are no physical limitations yet it seems like you are in the checkmate position. Just like in the game of chess, you can not make a move in any direction.
I always have a good attitude before, while and, after I workout. Working out makes me mentally and physically feel better about myself. I think any kind of physical fitness is a huge confident boost for anyone. I mostly do cardio, I don’t have that much background knowledge in lifting but I also like to do ab workouts. Running is just so convenient when it’s nice outside or when you go to a gym. I run every evening with my mom at a trail I would say to the end of the trail and back is a mile. I also run with my asian friend Alex Tran, we try to run 2 miles every now and then. I can definitely see improvement in my endurance level. There is always room for growth when working out so I hope to improve, as of right now I feel as if i’m on the
Do you have a desire to look good? I think every woman has this desire to look attractive in every outfit she is wearing. A woman has to play many roles in her life and look perfect while doing it. Usually when you look good, you ultimately gain a confidence within yourselves and with that confidence you will be able to perform any task at its best. Looking good in any outfit is not easy because for that you should have a good body shape which comes from your daily exercise routine and diet.
The one class that made it this way was, Advanced Placement Chemistry (AP Chemistry). AP Chemistry was a class that I needed to spend many hours studying, in order to get the grade that I wanted. Prior to taking this class, school came very easy for me and studying was not essential in order to get the grades that I had received. After the first month of my Junior year I had failed two tests and had an F in AP Chem. This occurred because I never had to apply myself in the past years of schooling.
I found myself struggling more than the students in class. Throughout my school years my grades were not always great they started to get bad when i started middle school and even in highschool they were not so good. My freshman year and sophomore year where the worst on my grades.When i was younger like in first grade through fourth grade i would always get pulled out of my class that way they can help me with reading and writing those where the subjects i would struggle with the most.They would also pull me out class when I was in the 5th Grade because when i entered 5th Grade i struggled more with my english and it was mostly reading and writing. Up to this day i still have trouble especially with writing.This started to create a fixed mindset. I thought that this was going to stop me from going on to middle school and highschool because it was getting harder and harder for me everytime. Once I entered high school i didn 't really struggle that much i started to notice that the help I was getting in 4th Grade all the way to 6th grade really did help. I felt like I was starting to not have a fixed mindset that much because once I reached my senior year I started to do better on my essays and I started to study more. My teacher senior year was very helpful and he gave me at of feedback to improve my writing and on ways to not have so much trouble with my
Throughout high school I have placed myself into the most challenging science and mathematics curric...
Living up to my resolution, I joined several clubs, both in and out of school and academic and recreational. I also met some of my very best friends in high school. Achieving all of this, friends, memberships to academic clubs and good grades, made up my first successful experience in high school. I was driven by the years in middle school and the promise that I made to myself at the end of eighth grade. Throughout my under classmen years I exceled in all subjects and thoroughly enjoyed the clubs I had joined. I think my downfall for the last two years of school was that I took for granted my good grades and as my classes got more rigorous I didn’t change the way I learned the material, but continued on the same path that I had been following my entire academic career, even when my grades were slipping slightly. Halfway through my senior year, I realized I needed to change the way I was learning the curriculum my instructors were teaching. I’ve always been the type of student to take good notes or listen to a lecture and understand everything the first time around, as was the case in elementary school and middle school. But my more rigorous classes proved to be a challenge for me and I did not know the proper way of learning the material on my own. I started by asking more questions in class and then going to my friends for help on subjects I didn’t understand. After many questions and after school tutor
