My aunt always told me that if you do it right the first time you will never have to do or see an assignment or grade over again. But guess what I didn’t do, I didn’t listen to her and I ended up failing my freshman year and I had to do summer school. You shouldn’t ever slack off in school no matter what grade you’re in because it can decide your future. Here are some reasons why you should do things right the first time, if you mess up in school like I did you might have to go through summer school like I did, at home do your chores right you might be rewarded, in a job you might get fired for doing a job incorrectly or just not doing it at all. Like I said about slacking off deciding your future colleges look at your grades from freshman

    Worrying too much about grades can cause students serious problems like not really understanding the work, make them not feel smart enough and lose interest in school and can cause anxiety and other health issues. In the article Mr. Bains said “ Indeed, there are several problems with strategic learners” (Project Information Literacy October 10, 2012 page1/4). One of the problems is students don 't really understand what they are learning if once they reach that high grade they want they will just stop. I am very guilty of only performing for the grade because I did it all throughout high school. I was taught that getting an A was the highest grade you can get so once I reached that A I...

  • Satire Essay On Procrastination

    178 Words  | 1 Pages

    Anxiety. Regret. Frustration. Restlessly glancing at the clock, cringing every time I do. Staring at a blinking cursor, waiting for inspiration. Spending a restless night trying to squeeze out something to turn in the next day. This is a process known all too well by me, and most high schoolers in America, one known as: Procrastination. Procrastination is something easily avoided, and yet, seems to be one of the biggest causes for low grades in most students’ lives. It’s a tempting prospect, putting off your responsibilities to do something enjoyable, but it should be avoided at every possibility. Procrastination causes your grades to suffer, causes your mental health to suffer, and causes you to learn bad habits for the future.

  • A Literacy Event that Changed my Life

    673 Words  | 2 Pages

    All my life I have been a lazy person, doing just enough to get by. Most of the time, in high school, I was content with just a “C”. The only time I wasn’t, was if it was a class I liked, and I paid attention to. If this was the case, I could have received a 99% on a test and been dissatisfied. But, for the rest of my classes, which were most of my classes, that I didn’t like, I never paid attention to or did homework, and I still managed to do well on tests. So basically I didn’t do anything except take tests and I still got satisfactory grades. In school I was so lazy that there could have been a project due worth about 20% of the final grade and I still wouldn’t do it.

    and results in lousy work. To this end, procrastination also plays a major role on students’ bad grades. We can easily infer that all my failures to study led to unacceptable grades. As for the AP Biology and United States Government courses mentioned earlier, the tests were about 30 percent of my grade. And as you can guess, my grades dropped like stones falling from the top of a skyscraper after each test. Additionally, my legal guardian Joel, for example, had a strong hatred for the much dreaded math. Like most people who hated math, he loathed the very thought of studying for it, but to pass his class, he would need to study. The

    Honestly if I was to go back in time I’d change all of my mistakes and make the right decisions which are to block out the people that accounted for my failure. Allowing obstacles to bring you down even though you have the capability to overcome them isn’t the right way to go if you want to be successful. In order to be successful you need to learn who to associate yourself with so you can mainly focus on the goals you want to archive to make you better mentally and physically. Having a better mindset is good for obtaining success because you will be able to think more positively about what you need to do. My freshman year could have gone way better if I applied this method to my life which is why you should apply it to yours. Learn from my mistakes and don’t follow the path I journeyed into as a

  • Argumentative Essay On The Grading System

    1064 Words  | 3 Pages

    A statement from the Huffington Post states, “From a very young age, we are told the importance of getting good grades. Especially in high school, we are told time and time again that our grades affect what college we will get into. While grades are extremely important, people often forget about the importance of learning, not just getting good grades. There is a difference between the grade received in a course and the amount of learning that took place in the course.” Parents and institutions should teach the importance of learning. The society around the upbringing of students emphasizes getting good grades as apposed to getting every detail and aspect mastered. School priorities should be reevaluated and changed for future students

    This placed much of the burden of recognizing academic talent on the high schools. Hindering a student’s performance with a bad grade in the middle of the year can make them give up for the rest of the year.

  • Argumentative Essay: Education Argument In High School Education

    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
