There are many terms I can use to describe myself but the one term that I believe defined me the most is; persistent. I`m very persistent because whenever I set my mind on something I accomplish it. In the beginning, I was not persistent but as time passed I learned to be. Throughout my years of schooling, I endured many occasions of adversity. The first occasion was when I was about six I got held back and I had to repeat kindergarten. Repeating kindergarten was tough because I felt unintelligent. To make matters worse, when I was enrolled in second grade I was put into an IEP class. As a child I did not think much of this class, I just knew I needed more help than most kids. However, as an adolescent, I felt that my IEP hindered me and did …show more content…
I did not know that I was very persistent until this assignment was given to me. I had never actually thought about a term that fit my education experience. I`ve been asked plenty of times but I never really took the question into consideration. Therefore I am glad I took this question seriously because I learned that I have always been persistent but I did not realize it. After reading this question, I thought hard about my past experiences with education. While doing this I remembered my English teacher, who believed that everyone deserved a second chance. At the end of the quarter, she would let students redo assignments they did poorly on. Each quarter I made sure I redid any work I did poorly on even if I received a B.In doing this I found out that I never give up. For instance, my first year in high school. My math teacher would allow her students to retake quiz they failed. Since I`m not excellent with math, I was always retaking quizzes. There was one quiz I took about three times but it was worth it because I received a 100 and it got me prepared for the test that I aced. However, it was not easy retaking these quizzes and test because I would get depressed and feel unintelligent. Although I felt depressed I never gave up I would study day and night. In addition, I show persistence with my grades, I have always strived for straight A`s. This has been accomplished many
When I was growing up, I struggled a great deal in school! In third grade I started a new school. They had three tiers of classes. One with the regular kids, another with kids that needed a little bit of help in math and reading, and thirdly, a category that had mentally retarded children learning life skills. I was being placed in that third tier. I absolutely loved school before they had placed me in that class. All that
While looking over my transcripts, I observed that my grades for the most part either remained bad or got worse second semester. Despite how I perform in those classes I have the easiest time understanding math, and the hardest time with history. The trends in my transcript correlate to how I’ve been my entire life, I give up easily. Once the smallest thing goes wrong I give up rather than trying persevering. I choose to keep rolling down a hill because it's easier, rather than to push myself to climb it.
Personality wise, most people would say I’m annoying, loud, and rude. Strangers would describe me as quiet and shy.
When I was in the first grade, every week the students did reading board where they sat in the hall outside the class and the teacher told us to read as many words as possible. This reading board created great anxiety and resentment toward my classmates proper spelling and word usage. When I misspoke, or used a word incorrectly, the teacher placed me in a lower reading level than my peers. I was upset because, my friend kept moving up and I was still stuck in first grade reading level. I learned that I had a learning disability, which would be the greatest challenge in my life.
that life would be better and that my sister and I would be more accepted. For that reason,
First of all, Arya 's masculinity can be explained by her high level of openness. According to the dispositional domain, personality trait refers to the average tendency of affection, behaviors, and cognitions (thinking) that are stable and consistent (Larsen, 2011). Personality traits are necessary for describing a person because they filter out unnecessary information by categorizing and organizing these random behavioral tendencies into manageable size so that we can use them to discover the essence of a person and predict behaviors. One of the predominant personality traits of Arya Stark is her high level of openness. Openness reflects an open and creative cognitive style. People with high openness tend to have higher motivation to experience
Identity-“Ones personal qualities.”Identiy is something only he or she can fully define. My uncle says I am affectionate,cheerful, and calm. My grandmother sees me as slim, pretty and sweet. My dad described me as perky, cheerful and happy, my mom says beautiful, gentle, and self-conscious. These adjectives describe me accurately, yet they are only abstract versions of me. Adjectives cannot begin to describe me and I aknowlege these descriptions for what they are, a condensed translation from my outward self to the world. It is impossible for anyone to understand me completely because nobody has experienced the things I have. My mother has never cherished a raggedy doll named Katie and my father never spent hours upon hours making collages and scrap books for his future children. My uncle never hid in the back of a pick-up-truck and traveled four hours to New York and my grandmother has never walked hours in the rain looking for the Queen of England. My identity is something only I can define.
My first term that I believe describes my personality, I am “stubborn.” I tend to be stuck in my ways and keep doing the same thing even though I know that it is not going to work out. I have always known that I am “stubborn” and believe that I can do everything on my own. My attitude
When I was in the first grade through the fifth grade I was placed in IEP which stands for Individualized Education Program; that was because I was not reading and writing below level. At first this was very frustrating. But over time I just learned to accept it. In the end I was able to get out of IEP and have been fine ever since.
Athletic.Talented.Intelligent. These are just a few words that describe me.They are what my everyday experiences and actions represent in my life. But there is one word that describes me a little bit more. Because of the experiences I have had in my life so far, it is clear to see that I am optimistic.
Well, who really am I? Am I rude, strict or obnoxious? Or am I loving and caring? Think and know me better.
I’ve learned the rules of the game we call “school”. It has defeated me, I’ve played it twice as harder than anyone else, and I’ve changed it. When I was in the third grade I was held back and became an IEP student, due to my reading level being low. At the time I felt like I was a huge failure not only to myself but also to my family. I didn’t care about becoming an IEP student; I just didn’t want to be in the same grade as my sister. After going through all the paperwork, I started getting the help I desperately need. I had a tutor at school that volunteered her time to help me. I also had a family friend who came to my house to help me. When I was transitioning from Elementary school to Middle school, I began to gain some confidence in myself
When it comes to finding your identity, I believe this: you must to first find yourself before you can help or understand anyone else. Throughout middle school I wanted fit in. Fitting in with wearing Abercrombie jeans, UGG boots, and an Aeropostale shirt everyday. If I was wearing that I was a “cool kid”, yeah right. That is what I thought my identity was... and thought it was the right thing to define me. Well, thankfully I figured out that was not my identity was. The moment I realized materialistic things did not define me was when my mom was battling ovarian cancer.
I was persistent in Junior High and I still am as a senior in High school. This skill has helped me a countless number of times. Persistent has a lot of different meanings for me. The first definition that comes to mind is having the heart to keep doing it over and over no matter what the end result is.
As I started to advance into my high school education, I noticed that my attitude about school and grades was not going to get me anywhere. I went to school and goofed off with my friends and did enough work to get a decent 70 on my work and go home. I had no “active responsibility”, as Freire would say, because I didn’t have anything to motivate me to want to do well. It all changed when I started high school at Bear Grass Charter School. Bear Grass had just reopened as a charter school my freshman year. I was a new beginning for me because not only was I starting out at a new school, but I started to realize that I needed to improve my self-effort in my classes. I knew that I wanted to be a nurse when I graduated and I
