I believe that life is all about consciously improving yourself, and putting as much effort as you possibly can into what you do. The more you push to improve, the closer you come to your goals, which can be long-term like graduating, or as short as going to sleep at a reasonable time. Everything anyone strives for comes down to self-improvement. Every single thing you do can either advance you in life or set you back. If you are not searching for ways to improve, then you will end up behind the people that are looking to be better. If you are not putting full effort into your activities and in your life, you will be slower to achieve your goals. Then the time it took to get to your goal is not worth the wait when you could have been down with it a while ago. Although the idea that you need to be improving sounds like a lot of work, small improvements is okay to start with. Smiling and saying thank you to the coffee barista if you notice yourself not doing so is a good starting point. …show more content…
While we were discussing the different problems, I was still working on the previous lessons that I had missed when I was absent. Because my focus wasn't on the current lesson, I tuned out the lecture that we were going to have a quiz on. After the test, I saw that this was my first spot for self-improvement. I should have looked at the stuff I missed before class even if it was only for a brief period of time. Then when I was at home, I pulled up the power point used in the lecture and my note handout that was still blank. I then tried to fill out my notes while understanding and not mindlessly copying. This was harder than it would have been if I listened in class. This was my second improvement opportunity: If I would have learned the lesson when it was being taught in class and had could have asked questions, then I would have done better with the
The story about I Martranika Gross, called changing my life. It all begin with many ideals that I had in mind to become while changing my life so my daughter will fix in. First was continue my education at Strayer University and a journey to follow. Next, becoming a role model with a pathway lay out for my daughter, a showing her not to stay you can’t to become successful. Finally, overcome obstacles first you have to have faith within yourself, and the key word is knowledge.
One assignment I am including in my portfolio is about a test we had.On the test we had problems about writing and using linear equations, getting m & b, and scatter plots.On the test I had lots of trouble on one problem the problem read the input is triple the output on the section of getting m & b.I had no idea how to do this problem not because I don’t pay attention during class because I do pay attention during class.It’s just that I never understood the worded out problems I only understood the numbered problems.Since all Mrs.Goldstein’s test all al closed notes I studied a lot to get a good grade on the quiz but this time we had a choice to write some notes on a piece of paper.This was a individual test like all the test I have had and
Finally, I learned how to be more responsible by myself. In my last classes, my teachers were technically always there to tell me step by step what to do and how to do my assignments. In a certain way, it made me kind of lazy and entirely dependent of my teachers. However in this course it was not like that; instead, my instructor just gave me the assignments, instructions, and deadlines, and I must write my essays and summited it on time. This absence of guide absolutely made me to react that it was time to me to do my assignments by myself, demonstrate what I know, and ask for help just whenever it is
Personal Narrative: The World The world is a messed up place and we are all stuck here until our lives are through, or until we choose to leave. It's strange that I go along with everything everyone tells me, such as that I should wear certain clothes or listen to certain songs. I often wonder why I do the things I do, but then I just realize that's who I am. People are confused about why they are here, and they don't understand what life is supposed to be about.
The air hung around them, tensed and quiet. The fragility of her emotion was threatening to shatter. It is as if that time stood still for her. She fingered the brim of her notebook, nervously and took notice of the cup of coffee on her side. Controlling the sudden urged to drown the caffeine all at once; she carefully picked the cup and warily sipped its content. It had long been cold, and her tongue appreciated that fact.
My entire life, I have strived to do well in everything I do. I have never wanted to settle for second best in the activities that I am interested in. Once I have a goal in my mind, I work until it is complete. I work to overcome the obstacles ahead of me. In school, I work towards perfect marks on everything from homework to tests.
Some of you may only have one area that you want to improve or none. Goal setting isn't for everyone. So don't feel bad if you like your life the way it is, go out and celebrate instead!
There are many things that have molded me into the person I am today such as being born into a family with four children. With three siblings, I have been forced to be able to work out problems from stealing each other’s toys to having to rush to the emergency room to get stiches because my brother chased me around the house and I tripped. My mother, father, brother, and two sisters were all born in Pennsylvania and I am the odd ball and I was born in Adrian, Michigan. From when I was a child I always loved being involved with sports because of my competitive nature. I grew up playing soccer and having success with that but then my love changed and I began playing lacrosse and football. I started playing lacrosse in middle school and played
I am by myself wearing my blue jeans and an old flannel shirt. It is cool outside but I decided to leave my gloves at home, feeling comfortable with my warm shirt and my sturdy boots.
In an attempt to improve my health, I decided that for 30 days I would hydrate myself properly and exercise cardiovascularly 3 times a week. Every morning when I woke up, it was my goal to drink a large glass of water (estimated 18 oz) before doing anything else. It was also my goal to drink a large glass of water before every meal. I imagine that many people do not consider poor hydration a serious issue, but being properly hydrated is conducive for more regular body function. A few things that poorly hydrated people suffer, in the short term, are headaches, dizziness, and fatigue. As for exercising cardiovascularly, that is a simple response to the fact that I have high blood pressure. Anything to get my heart pumping is advised, and cardiovascular
Goals need to be set so that you can push yourself to do better and to achieve them. Without a goal, sometimes you don’t know how to properly work out and exercise. Maybe one week you could dedicate your exercises to cardio. April Durret, an IDEA contributing editor delivers:” Other fitness pros prevent their workouts from becoming stale--and sharpen their skills at the same time--by seeking out different exercises.” Set a goal that’s not too hard to conquer for the first time around and after you have done that you can make the goal harder and gradually work your way up to something more difficult. Having a goal helps when you are trying achieve a task it gives you a reason to try and put forth an effort in
There have been tons of things that I have learned and been taught in my life, by a number of people such as family, teachers, or even friends on occasion. The things they taught me vary from math and other related subjects to just some truly simple yet meaningful life lessons. However, there is nothing quite as unique, quite as special as a person teaching themselves a life lesson. It really is an amazing accomplishment for a person to teach themselves something. It is not quite as simple as another person teaching them something because it is not just the transferring of information from one person to another. The person instead has to start from scratch and process the information they have in their mind in order to come up with a new thought
As a child, I was reckless and I didn’t really care if I was doing something that would get me into serious trouble. I wouldn’t care what my mother would tell me after she found out the stuff that I’ve done. I wouldn’t care about what anyone would say because as long as I was having fun at doing these things then I would keep doing them anyways. But there were events in my life that cause me to change my ways for good.
Also, in the beginning of the lesson I gave the students clear directions of what I expected of the students. I had the students repeat the expectations back to me which was a success since they understood and did what was expected. After the activity, the students were supposed to complete a word sort and then a writing prompt. During the writing and the sort, I did not give clear instructions which affected the students and how they completed the assessment. The next time I teach a lesson, I need to focus more on directions and giving detailed
“Something in human nature causes us to start slacking off at our moment of greatest accomplishment. As you become successful, you will need a great deal of self-discipline not to lose your sense of balance, humility and commitment.
