Recommended: Reflection on work life balance

I switched to INVS from traditional school two years ago because I missed a lot of school due to migraines and when that happened teachers started getting aggravated and letting me know through my work what they thought. They’d count my work late when I turned it in the day after I got back and dock my points even when school policy states they cant. Even though I live in Indiana, I've always loved the ocean and everything in it. I have always known I wanted to do something in the marine biology field it has changed over the years though, as every kid does. Dolphin trainer, Marine biologist, aquatic photographer, and now, an Aquatic Veterinarian. I knew I needed classes that helped me acquire the knowledge that people my age living

  • School Daze

    I have often wondered what it would be like to experience the freedom of choosing my own class schedule. This has to be infinitely more stimulating and enjoyable. I am also aware that college will be significantly more challenging, but I have always found it easier to study for a class that interests me. I am willing to accept the fact that as long as I am in school, there will be required courses which may not engender excitement or enthusiasm; however, success should not be as difficult to achieve due to the maturity that is developing during this last year of high school. In addition, I have gained an understanding of the benefit of being well rounded. There is value in all classes taken. It helps to know that even my least favorite subject will contribute to the ultimate goal of personal and career development.

    I want to study how animals interact with their environments, and how we as humans can improve or maintain their living conditions. If I seem to not like that I would like to work with animals individually. Working with marine animals to help them with illnesses or injuries that they may have. I remember watching the movie “Dolphin Tale”, and as cheesy as it sounds, it opened a whole new world that I had never known about. Providing rehab for injured animals seems so fulfilling and exciting all in one. When most people hear that I want to go into a science degree they assume that I am going to spend all my days hunched over a microscope, looking at amebas, but I will work as hard as I need to be out on the field working one on one with the animals and environment. The ocean always seems to be calling me and pulling me towards it, and I feel that the ocean will be my home once I am able to get a degree to work with

  • Personal Narrative: My Literacy In High School

    1110 Words  | 3 Pages

    Literacy is defined as the act of reading and writing; both are things that I have struggled with my entire life. Being born in a Mexican household, my first language was Spanish. I could fluently read, write, and speak Spanish, but in first grade everything changed. From having classes in Spanish, I went to having classes in English. Nobody would speak to me in Spanish, read to me in Spanish, or write to me in Spanish. I was living a nightmare. I remember the first week of school being really fun! I had an interpreter for every class, I made friends with this boy named Alex, who also only spoke Spanish, and my mom would eat lunch with me every single day. However as time passed my teacher, Mrs. Bogan, decided it'd be better if I didn't have

    The classroom and practicum have been instrumental to me in many ways including my recovery from cancer. When I was released to return to work after my illness, I received more than fifty rejections, most responding that I did not have a degree. Therefore I began my adult education with the goal of getting an associate’s degree. At that time I had no aspirations of going on to choose a major and graduate with a bachelors or masters degree. Little did I know where this journey would take me and the impact that it has had on my life.

    One year, I tagged along with my parents when they drove my brother and sister to Worldview Academy. Unfortunately, I forgot about the incident. That all changed, though, when I found myself enrolled at the same academy my siblings had previously attended. Since then, I have returned three times and this year served as my third and final “term”. After my enrollment, I concluded that I had discovered an anomaly, for I had never found myself more comfortable in a crowd of perfect strangers, nor so intrigued with academic subjects or experienced such an exhilarating time evangelizing as I had at the academy.

    The type of student I am has greatly evolved from elementary school. I have always been intelligent but my work in elementary school did not reflect my intelligence level. My work was sloppy, disorganized and borderline illegible. I got stressed out and frustrated while working on school work in elementary school. I can recall how my homework got done in elementary school. I’d start with a grin ear to ear, open my folder and pull out the assignment. Shortly after I began working,my smile would turn into a frown, and I would began to cry. and scream “I can’t do this!”.

    I have never really been a traditional learner. Since around 1st grade I was in accelerated classes with 7th and 8th graders, and I loved the feeling of being in a more mature place of learning. I think being around people much older my whole life, being on my actual academic level seems slow and easy to me. This past year, I thought the solution to this would be to do online school full time, however I've come to miss the feeling of an actual classroom setting because I want to be a teacher in the future. Being in a class room setting and interacting with teachers furthers my career goals because I feel like I'm constantly gaining information on what I do and do not want to do as a teacher.

  • Personal Narrative: Standing Out Among My Class

    Throughout my beginning years of elementary school, I have felt like I have been the one standing out among my class. Though I was not born in China like the rest of my family, I could still be distinguished as a foreigner because of how much I was involved with my Chinese culture with my family. Attending Castlemont Elementary School in Campbell California, I was one of the few Asian American students in my class, often known as “the Few Five”. The other kids did not particularly care or judge me, in fact I had no problems making friends, but deep inside, I believed my Chinese background made me feel different from my classmates.

    In the beginning of the semester, I thought it would be enjoyable to take Anatomy and Physiology since I had already taken it in high school and actually received a high grade. I had heard from many students that this class is much harder in college and will often have a big lecture setting with more than three-hundred students, but I brushed this off and went into the classroom with a positive attitude. I quickly learned that big lectures were not the classes that I would succeed in, instead I preferred a small classroom setting where I am able to ask questions whenever needed. Throughout the semester, I also learned that I prefer online classes when it comes to mathematics and social sciences because they can be self-taught and I found myself often uninterested during the
