Recommended: How does family play a role in the education of individuals

Hello! I’m super excited for this class because I find I usually really enjoy English-based classes. You might like to know that I’m a PSEO student here at Century. I go to an online high school called IQ Academy; I actually really enjoy and would definitely recommend it. I took a few classes here at Century College this past fall semester and I’m planning on coming back next fall. To start things off, my full name is Michaela, however, I’m almost always called Micki and it’s what I prefer. I have four amazing siblings; Alex, Tony, Katie, and Ava. I’m the second youngest out of the four. I grew up just outside of White Bear Lake, in Vadnais Heights. Vadnais Heights is great because it has lots of what I call nature parks; my dad would take

    Bob’s side of the family, Reva Heidi, or as I refer to her: Mema. I also met Aunt Melanie, Uncle Steve and my cousins: I instantly became friends with one of my cousins, Lonnie, as he also enjoyed watching Star Wars films and playing with LEGO bricks. That year, I also entered first grade at Highland Rim Elementary School, which as of now, I consider my favorite academic institution. Despite not easily making friends, I admired my teacher, Mrs. Peggy, as she frequently challenged our class with A.R. testing; these tests initiated my hobby of reading. Then in 2009, my dad and stepmom adopted a newborn girl, Serenity; she is currently seven years old. For the next few years, I considered my life exceptional, although several frustrating events

  • The Pros And Cons Of Honors English

    1014 Words  | 3 Pages

    Happy New Year and the second semester of the school year. The first semester was a test on how students would blend into the new academics. Honors English was a great choice I made in middle school and I would recommend it to any incoming freshman. I have learned new ways to create claims and the proper way to set up paragraphs. Learning the way to set up paragraphs has improved my writing skills, even out of the english classroom. English comes in handy in the World Geography classroom as I have learned and may be useful in the future.

  • My Family: Growing Up In A Traditional Mexican Family

    875 Words  | 2 Pages

    I was born on September 15th, 1999 in a small town called Watervliet, MI. I was the first born out of three children, and the only girl. Growing up as the oldest and the only girl in a traditional Mexican family was definitely not the easiest thing to deal with. My parents have always been strict with me, which I believe has shaped me to be a responsible woman. I have two younger brothers who are 15, and 10 years old.

    This class was far more intense than what I expected but I was able to make it through the semester. I learned a lot from this class that I will carry into the future and use in other classes. All of the revision and feedback I have received during the time in the class helped me in the end. I feel like I am gradually becoming a better writer. I will take everything that I have learned in this class and use it for future reference when writing papers. I overall have enjoyed this class this semester.

  • What I Learned In My First College English Class

    610 Words  | 2 Pages

    My first college English class was ENC 1101 at the State College of Florida. In this course, I learned a vast amount of information about writing, reading, and grammar. When I first walked into ENC 1101 in August, I expected the class to be like any other English class in High School; with rushed busy work and a lot of useless tests and quizzes. However, throughout each week of the semester, Professor Knutsen’s class made me beg to differ. This class was not like any other high school English class. In this class I actually learned important information and did not do work just to complete it. This class had a few assignments here and there, enough to maintain, in order to learn proper information. I learned a lot in this class because I was not rushed to

    As the dull scent of chalk dust mixes imperceptably with the drone of the teacher's monotone, I doodle in my tablet to stay awake. I notice vaguely that, despite my best efforts in the shower this morning after practice, I still smell like chlorine. I sigh and wonder why the school's administration requires the students to take a class that, if it were on the Internet, would delight Mirsky (creator of Mirsky's Worst of the Web), as yet another addition to his list of worthless sites. Still, there was hope that I would learn something that would make today's first class more than just forty-five wasted minutes... It wouldn't be the first time I learned something new from the least likely place.

  • Personal Narrative: My Journey to Literacy

    1143 Words  | 3 Pages

    All I could remember on my journey to literacy was my concern over my brother and sister’s ability to read and write including solving math problems. That did not really motivate not to become literate; I was extremely playful as a child. What I am able to remember is my first day of school, I cried like a baby when my mom dropped me off. I soon began to grow out of my baby stage and school became really interesting. Even though it was not as hard as it is now, the value that pushed me to be literate was how my teacher was able to discipline students if they didn’t give the best to their education.

  • Personal Narrative: My First Figurative Language

    433 Words  | 1 Pages

    My first figurative language example from the text is personification. ‘My throat was dry and the words were choking me, paralyzing my lips. There was nothing else to say’ p.g 15. This impacted me as a reader because having to tell somebody the news that you are leaving your house and all your belongings behind is hard to say to someone especially in this point of time. Also Elie was a kid back then which also makes a big impact because having to be a kid in this time and place is very difficult and scary to go through. It impacts the reading experience because it builds up suspense of what the family will do next since they got kicked out of their house. Also you can kind of get a glimpse that the story might go on to be a tough journey for

My father usually doesn’t make it his top priority to go to the doctors, so he waited about four weeks until he really didn’t feel good.

    There are many different types of events that shape who we are as writers and how we view literacy. Reading and writing is viewed as a chore among a number of people because of bad experiences they had when they were first starting to read and write. In my experience reading and writing has always been something to rejoice, not renounce, and that is because I have had positive memories about them.
