Recommended: Factors affecting the academic performance of high school students

My grades throughout my high school career have not been the greatest. Since my freshman year I have fallen into a metaphorical ditch where I have procrastinated a lot and almost completely failed certain classes. By looking at my transcripts you will see the classes I struggled most in were math, Spanish, and sometimes science. I have struggled with math all four years of high school although the teachers I have had have helped me along the way so that I do not utterly fail. Learning a new language is always difficult when all you have been speaking is one language so when I took Spanish I had a difficult time but finally in my junior year I was able to pass the class and feel great about myself. As for the science, there were points where

    519 Words  | 2 Pages

    In other subjects I used to get 90+ but chemistry was one subject where I used to get in 70’s, despite getting less in chemistry, my teacher believed in me because she knew that there was no problem with me in understanding the concepts, rather it was because I can’t memorize a thousand equations in my mind at a time. For my finals, I knew that it was extremely important for me to score at least 90+ in chemistry to get a good percentage. With the help of my teacher’s faith in me I studied a lot for my exam, and managed to get 95 in my finals. It was just because of the constant practice and learning, I still remember all the equations and theory which I had once found difficult to

  • Personal Narrative: My 8th Grade Accomplishments

    267 Words  | 1 Pages

    During 8th grade, I got called out to the counselor’s office. Entering the counselor’s office, the counselor told me that I was in the honors class. The day I graduated Junior High with honors changed the next 4 years in High school. I promised myself and my mom that I would be graduating High school with honors. For the past 4 years, I have worked so hard to be in the honors program, again. I started to take advanced classes and then I started to take dual credit classes my junior year. If it wasn’t for being in the honors program my 8th grade year, I don’t think I would be as worried about my grades as I am now.

  • DICA Recommendation Letter

    591 Words  | 2 Pages

    This fall I am retaking Chemistry and I aiming for an A. I do not think grades can fully represent one's work ethic, grit and perseverance. Personally, I have struggled with the fact that I was in special education until middle school. I was behind academically because for the first few years in my life I was almost fully deaf and struggled to learn as quickly as others. Although I was in no longer in special education classes by high school, it was already ingrained in my mind that, academically, I was not intelligent enough to fulfill my dreams of having a job that involves food and nutrition. Even with those thoughts, I still pushed myself to apply to Johnson & Wales to prove myself wrong. Thankfully, I did prove myself wrong. I just goes to show even with those negative, I came from being someone that saw no potential in myself with no proof that I was smart into someone who works hard everyday. Grades don't show that someone is in-tune with their weakness and strengths and that their emotionally intelligent enough to work on them. For example, a weakness that I have struggled with is being not being

  • My Experience With Adversity Essay

    1075 Words  | 3 Pages

    I almost failed the first grade. With Arabic as my first language, the only English I was exposed to was from television shows and movies. The teachers at my school passed me along from class to class because they all felt they were incapable of handling a student learning english as a second language. I ended up with a teacher that would, in the long-run, make me the student and person that I am today. She instilled the ideas of perseverance and excellence in me and, as a result, I have hurdled past adversity ever since. Instead of isolating myself because of my cultural differences and language barriers, I urged myself to form relationships with individuals I had nothing in common with. I wanted to interact with people of all backgrounds to understand their ideas and learn from them. Similarly, instead of shying away from challenges, I faced them. This is most likely what drew me towards math and science. Where others quit because things got difficult, my interest only peaked.

    My test scores and GPA does not define me. Working hard to improve describes my characteristic. Unfortunately, I did not push myself, until eleventh grade. I realized I will not be successful endless I fix my attitude. Therefore, I applied myself and tried different things. I started waking up every Saturday at seven in the morning to do a film class in Manhattan. I did many community service jobs such as giving out presents at a Christmas event and working at a community garden over the Summer. Although my academic record may not impress some colleges, I am proud of the effort I did this past year. In 11th grade, I would remember going up to teachers and ask them how I can improve my grades. If they said participate more, I would raise my

    Grades do not define you Failure, rejections, denial, failing quizzes, red marks, and low deportment grades, these are the words that we usually hear in school and make us feel not good enough. The good side of this is that, all these things that we are going through right now in school are trainings for us to succeed in the future.

    For two years I had to deal with the horror of fact-reading. My writing fact I passed it right away but for reading I had to try multiple times, therefore, as you can imagine I failed the act my first time, it was unbelievably I wanted to get it over with but I had to repeat it one more time and I passed it. I think the major factor in my reading is the Spanish, my friends and I had the same problem but passed it the second time. Another kind of bad experience with high school was math. Since I was little I have always struggled with math, and it’s actually weird because all my family has studied math careers and they even have a business, but I was the only kid who wouldn’t like to go to work at the family’s business.
