Sahib First and Worst Science Fair
It is the time of the science fair. It is time to pick your science fair project and to get it done as fast as possible so you have more time to do other thing and touch up your science fair project as much as possible but, the science fair did not end up this way for me. The science fair is usually the worst part of the year. You have to spend a lot of time on it and get it done fast so you can get some extra points and to get a break from the science fair and work on other things but, I did not do this at all.
The first things of science fair is to pick a project off the internet. I had gotten a excellent idea the first day. The project I found very good but, my teacher said it was to easy. Then the next time I looked up a project was the 3 last day of getting a project and I was trying so hard

The hard part was to get every paper in line with each other because if the little things looked good then the judges will think you put a lot of time and effort into science fair and they might give you a higher score. So I had finished the board and the most difficult part for me, speaking to my class and to the judges. My presentation and speaking skills had to be on point if I want to do well in science fair. I would always be practicing my presentation for the big day. I did not have a lot of time to do this. I was practicing all day and night until the day would come.
The big day is here! I wish I had more time to study but, this is it. How will I do? Should have I have been more proactive or was my laziness for this project ok? You must wait and see.
I have change so much now after this event. I will no longer be lazy and I will get all other project done as fast as possible. Now I am way more organized and will no longer delay anything in my life. I will always prioritize big event over free time. I am so much of a better person in organization and in time
These events have strengthened me mentally, spiritually, and educationally. Regardless of what occurs in life, at work or in school, I have the ability to overcome the obstacles and the strength of mind, a compassionate heart and the knowledge to succeed in any task I undertake.
That experience basically instilled in me that no matter how good things are going it could change in an instant. I also stopped taking the small things in my life for granted. I live by the phrase, “It could always be worse”. It helps me stay positive in even the most stressful situations. Things don’t affect me like they used to because I can have that positive perception of just about any problem I
The experience that day changed the way I look at the human body, and I started to appreciate the magnificence of it. In addition to the appreciation of the body, I wanted to know what causes so much physical pain in it. I was particularly interested in toothache because that was the most frequent and personal disease I suffered during my childhood. In addition, I met a dentist who was willing to provide a mentorship so my interested in dentistry grew tremendously.
Depression happened, the second time I needed ACL surgery because I had no reason to recover fast and I needed to rethink my life choices. But the second process was also worse than the first because waking up with the grogginess and having a different pain set in, made me feel defeated once again, even though I already knew the procedures. Yet again I would be bed ridden for more than three weeks. Being bedridden and in a lot of pain affected my sleep, appetite and energy. The depression had many stages, it went from not this process again to making me question my identity while I had the whole time in the world with nothing to do other than think and sleep. And even after recovery the second time around I only had to go back to school. I couldn’t go back to soccer, I didn’t have any additional happiness other than being able to walk again and do every day routines over and over again. Although I went through the painful weeks being bedridden, the year of physical therapy and the identity change, I wouldn’t have found out who I am today without also going through the physical journey.
I walked through the door leading to the room, and instantly tears filled my eyes. These tears were different than the first, it was no longer about me I didn't really know that at the time however, but looking back, that moment was the instance that took my original perspective, and with no control it flipped into no longer being about myself. It changed into an awareness that the work I did, it wasn't about my connection with the dog, the TV interview wasn't about me, the training wasn't to fulfill having a dog in the house. It was about the potential impact, the change in someone else's life that was going to forever
Our team is experiencing increased motivation through task significance as evidenced by the team’s work ethic on the Final Marketing Plan. This paper is more significant than any of our other assignments because it is worth the most amount of points and accounts for 20% of our final grade. Because of the high significance, we started to work on the assignment over a month before it is due, whereas we usually start to work on a typical assignment about three weeks before it is due. We have also been setting more incremental deadlines for this assignment. For example, Caitlin set the deadline of October 25th for sections 2,3,4, and 6. This allowed us to spend more time improving these sections, and will allow us to focus on the other sections moving
Ms. Smith was about to complete a unit about the first European explorers. She decided to give her students a research project to do in the class and at home. For the project the students were to pretend that they were a specific explorer. There were specific directions for the students to follow. Students had to create a map of at least three expectations, longitude and latitude of destinations, at least six journal entries, and other expectations of the project. The final project needed to be in a journal form and students were to present their final project. Students were given four and a half weeks in class, at home, and time during special area classes. There were due dates throughout the project. The students were expected to preplan around due dates to manage their time.
I sit down in the class room beside my best friend at 8am, with whom I had been studying with all week, wish him good luck and prepare myself.
I figure that class will be a easy pass. Also I do have a period where I T.A which should also be a easy pass. I would say one of the classes that will be A challenge is Spanish class. I never learned spanish so this will be the 1st time. I think my biggest challenge would be my Financial literacy class. The work isn't so hard by concentrating is, because the class does not interest me.
The assignments that I am the proudest of are the Character Journal, Course Theme Video, and Science Fiction Genre Story. My marks in them were 92%, 84%, and 80%. I got a fantastic mark in the Journal because I was creative and included details from the story. For the Course Theme Video, my mark was great because I used common sense, it was humorous and I made some good points. With the Short Story, I had an interesting twist and overall it was a good story.
... I’m still pushing myself in higher level classes and getting my work done with effort and not giving up when I’m not good at it. Math is still a struggle for me but instead of quitting and not caring like I did my freshman year with Geometry I ask for help and take the necessary steps in order to pass with at least a B. This event had a significant impact on my life during my freshman year in more of a negative way, but I have learned from that mistake and it has made me push myself more in school to make sure I’m giving my full effort at all and getting the grades I desire and deserve to get. Also, it has made me appreciate my family more and to give more time into building closer relationships with them. Overall, I’ve matured and grown from the experience and even though it was a horrendous tragedy, I’m thankful for what I have learned because of it.
The accident made me realize that nothing is for certain and you shouldn’t take anything for granted. I had always viewed riding a school bus has something that wouldn’t put me in danger, after all the drivers are trained professionals, right? What I never considered was the actions of others and how complete strangers can change your life in a bigger and more significant way than some of the people closes to you. I had never really considered dying at a young age because my grandparents lived to be old. After that bus ride home my outlook on life was severely changed and I started to appreciate my parents more an tell them I loved them a lot more often because wasn’t sure if we’d both be around to say it the next time.
After this project I would seriously consider not doing any projects in my classroom. But I need to remember this is only one experience (and my first one at that.) Not all projects need to go this way. Having had this experience can help me make sure I don’t have similar ones in my classroom.
Many changes for the good and some were bad but, there were some learning experiences that help make me a better person. The events in my life, was dealing with the Birth and The Death of my first daughter.
...of my life, such as family, school, and work. Suddenly I was easily succeeding in all these areas, where as I had always struggled with them in the past. My health was better than it had ever been before which kept me from having to make visits to see the doctor, let alone the emergency room. I also had money saved up that would have previously been spent on fast food, cigarettes, and drinks at the bar.
