Recommended: Literary Analysis: Thoreau essay

During the past year, we have learned quite a bit about ourselves in our Turk Tracks Advisory groups. This includes our personality strengths and weaknesses, our academic life, community service, and what our future will possibly hold for us. According to the Keirsey Temperament Sorter, I am an ENFP, or what is called a “Champion”. Champions have a wide range and variety of emotions, and a great passion for novelty. They see life as an exciting drama, pregnant with possibilities for both good and evil, and they want to experience all the meaningful events and fascinating people in the world. Discovering this has impacted me, as I see how the test shows, and how I go about life, they are very similar. I am a very compassionate person, and I like to live life to its fullest, and to be able to fully understand everything. I have had a few academic achievements this year, but not as many as I would like to have gotten done. Some of them were simple things, like getting full credit on one of my papers for English, or getting full credit for one of my maps in history, but I would like to focus on my Thoreau Quotes I had gotten an A on in Literature, for it is one of my personal greatest achievements in Literature, earning the highest grade from any other assignment in that class. We had to read 20 quotes from Henry David Thoreau’s book “Walden”, and paraphrase them. In my mind, I didn’t think that I actually understood the quotes that much, especially when I paraphrased them, but I had gotten an A on the paper, and with this I discovered that I understood more of this literature than I even thought. My eleventh grade academic goals are not as high set as they should be, but they are enough for my standards. I wish to keep my grades... ... middle of paper ... ...and affects my grades in sometimes critical ways. I have a college visit scheduled for March 3, 2014 at Everett Community College. Some of my friends went to EvCC, and told me that they loved it there, because all of the teachers really helped you understand everything, and wanted to make sure you got your money’s worth from the school. I have not been able to get my Job shadow yet, but when I go to the College, I am going to try to find someone I can shadow for Chemistry. I am not sure how it will be, but I am very excited for it, as I have been trying to get a job shadow for chemistry since my freshmen year, with the help of my science teacher, Ryan Monger. It’s been good for me to review all that I’ve learned in Turk Tracks so far this year, and even with my past years as well. I’m excited to finish this year and move on to my senior year. I feel more than ready!

They sometimes reflect on problems for so long that they take action too late to do anything to help.

    Growing up, my parents never expected perfection but expected that I try to accomplish my best. The effort I’ve put forth in learning has been reflected in my grades throughout my high school career. I’ve entered myself in vigorous course work such as AP Government and AP English to become well prepared for my college career, all while maintaining a 4.4 grade point average this year. Not only do I engage in AP classes, but up until this year I had no study halls. I wanted my day to be packed full of interesting classes that I would enjoy learning about. My grades and choice of classes prove the effort that I put forth in my learning. Working hard now can only pay off in the future. Learning now creates a well-rounded human being. Working to learn is why I am so dedicated to my studies now.

  • Sophomore Year Reflection

    2015 was a real turning point in my high school career. I finally started working harder in school and started to enjoy it more. Although the enjoyment came right back down, it was still fun while it lasted. My writing however, has greatly changed. SAT #2 was where I really started having fun. “For Susan was a sinner. She smoked Crack Cocaine every day!” (SAT #2, Nowak) That was the SAT journal that made me realize that writing didn't have to be a chore. However the second half of the year was a little different. I think I started to grow lazy. My previously fine-tuned papers were now pretty much rants. “Pink is used anywhere from romantic nonsense to childish obsessions.” (Gatsby Color Analysis, Nowak) For my Gatsby analysis, my writing was all over the place and covered a wide range of topics. Unfortunately it made it sound pretty bad. I am starting to get better and regularly

    First, I would like to thank the Louie F. Cox Memorial AK Steel Foundation and the Middletown Community Foundation for their continued support as I pursue my education. My first year at Case Western Reserve University has been incredible and I found many opportunities to grow academically, spiritually, and socially. During my first few weeks on campus, I joined the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE) and also earned a seat on the executive board as membership chair. NSBE has allowed me to enhance my networking skills, advocate for diversity, and engage with the campus community. I also mentored high school students through the NSBE Jr. program and volunteered at engineering-themed events throughout the greater Cleveland area. A major highlight of this year was attending the National NSBE Convention in Kansas City, MO and meeting Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey. His advice on finding a career in Silicon Valley was especially helpful, as I declared my academic path: a double major in computer science and business management (with a specialization in supply chain management) and a minor in data science.

    My four-letter assessment was ENFP; the percentages to my assessment were Extravert 3%, Intuitive 6%, Feeling 28%, and Perceiving 19%. I would describe my four letters as being someone who thinks before they act and very observant. I think one of the main things I learned about ENFP, is if something interest me, I am likely to care more about it and work hard. However, if it is a topic or activity I don’t like, there is a chance I won’t be involved with it. As an ENFP, I like to do my own thing and make my own decisions no matter what.

  • High School Reflection

    1079 Words  | 3 Pages

    In high school you hear stories of how college kids only have up to about four classes a day and think, “what’s the big fuss? I have 7 classes EVERYDAY.” The concept of college classes isn 't fully understood, or at least it wasn’t to me at the time. I believed that the workload wouldn’t much differ from that of high school, however, it only took a matter of two weeks to realize that I had been sorely mistaken. Essays, labs, lab reports, two hour lectures, three hour labs, then more lectures, not to mention work study. You’re loaded with twice the information, twice the work, and half the time. Needless to say, quick adaptation is a must. In high school a lot of people can coast through without ever having to study, as a result, you do not pick up good study habits which are essential in college. With all the new information that you have to learn, memorize, and fully understand before the next class, studying is as necessary as the class itself. In college you study so much you start to feel like you 're self teaching, the teacher introduces you to the material and it’s your job to retain and comprehend it. There isn’t much time to dwell on a concept if one student out of fifty doesn’t understand it, so you are bound to get brushed off, or asked to meet the professor after class if you are having trouble understanding. Again I say, high school workload is
