Recommended: How To Be An Excellent Student

Not to brag, but I’m a pretty good kid. I have never had detention throughout my middle and high school career. The only time I have been called to the office was last year when the freshmen principal thought I had skipped because I was counted absent in a class, even though I was present during that hour. I’m not trying to claim I’m a perfect saint, there’s been situations where I didn’t necessarily “do the right thing” and of course I get an attitude at times. While I might not get into a lot of immense trouble, I have a problem getting motivated to step out of my comfort zone, although at times I severely push the limits. There are always those moments where I push the boundaries a little bit, other times I push it too far. When I am

  • Personal Narrative: My Junior Year Of High School

    I was told that this, my junior year, would be the easiest year of my high school career. And no, they were absolutely wrong. It was not just school and grades that I was concern about either. I had other things to worry about, things like, driving, clubs, friends and family. I however had no idea that it would be this difficult. Throughout this school year I have learned many things; like the value of sleep, whose really your friend, and that although very important, grades are not everything.

  • National Honor Society Essay

    784 Words  | 2 Pages

    Throughout my two years in high school, I have been trying to maintain a certain grade point average. I’ve passed two of my state tests already and I have yet to take my English II and U.S. History state test. I passed my Algebra I test in 8th grade with Proficient and my Biology I test my freshman year with Proficient. My grades fell off the first 9 weeks of this school year because I had a hard time understanding English II and I ended up scoring Basic on my 1st 9 weeks benchmark test. Now I have made a promise to myself that I will be advanced in everything from now on. I’ve been studying more and working in my SATP practice booklets and now my grades are improving. When I was in 2nd grade I was accepted into the Gifted/Excel class at Bentonia Gibbs up until my 7th grade year at Yazoo County Junior High. Ever since junior high, I have been in the advanced classes, and I hope that will help me with my plan to graduate as one of the top of my class.

  • Argumentative Essay: Education Argument In High School Education

    2669 Words  | 6 Pages

    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

  • Iep Reflection

    544 Words  | 2 Pages

    By the second grade I was very resentful of the extra help I was reviving. To me this meant being separated and I felt different. Sometimes I would not want to go to school and if I went I would dread each moment. As each day went by I would do the same thing every day I would be removed from class and have to read a different passage to a teacher and then take a short story home to read to my mom or dad. To me the fact that I had to do this almost every day was making me so angry it reflected in my actions. But by the end of that year I made a promise one that I intended to fulfill by the time I left Ayer Elementary

  • Becoming An IEP Student: Personal Narrative Analysis

    450 Words  | 1 Pages

    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

  • Reflective Essay On Preparing For A National Honor Society

    183 Words  | 1 Pages

    I believe I qualify for National Honor Society. I have maintained my grades as high as I can. I always try my best. I never had a discipline referral, throughout my high school years. This year, which is my senior year, should have been the easiest year for me. Senior year should have been more of a relaxed year and not worry so much. Well, it is the opposite, I'm very stressed out already and it is barely the beginning of the school year. It is only stressful because I'm already taking three college classes in high school but I know I can do it. I'm pushing myself even more because I like the challenge. I believe in myself. Also, I have helped my community at church with many stuff like helping organize and setting up for events and help clean

  • Reflective Essay On Pgc Leadership

    934 Words  | 2 Pages

    Gradually over the semester, the kids began to open up more. My co-leader and I truly invested time inside and out of the classroom. During one of the outreach sessions, a boy who had been labeled as a “troublemaker” by his peers showed up with a heavy backpack. It was not books, however, that were peeking out. Instead, it was clothes. He revealed that his mom had kicked him out of the house after a fight with his dad. The boy packed his items and stayed overnight with a friend. While many people put a label on him, they were unaware of the hardship that he faced at home. My co-leader and I began to learn of the other situations our kids faced. One struggled being in a military family and alienated herself from forming close bonds with others. Another was having difficulty staying close with her family after her brother’s death. There was also one girl who aspired to become a physician like me, but she did not have the support of her family or friends in the

  • Personal Narrative: My Proudest Moment

    765 Words  | 2 Pages

    Ever since I was little I’ve been what you would call a “high achieving” kid. I did well in school, I did well in sports and I did well in my community. I was always the first one to class, and the last one to leave the field. I was the kid that all my friends’ parents compared their children to. I was the kid with a room full of trophies and awards. In my mind, the worst possible thing I could do was disappoint the people around me. In elementary school I was involved in every club imaginable. I was in the band, I played in the orchestra, I sang solos for chorus, I was in the math club, I was president of student council, I played travel soccer, I was involved in every activity possible, and I excelled in all of them.
