8th Grade Reflection

I believe I've grown as a student for skills for Academic Success because ,when I started 9th grade at Vaughn I was not happy with the grade I got. I had very poor grammar. I always tried my best to get a good grade or at least a better grade then the one I had. Now I believe I improve my grades and skills for Academic Success because there was stuff I didn't understand. When I started Vaughn I didn't know that is freshman had to have 130 reading points. When I heard that I started reading books ,didn't really concentrate because I was not use to reading but now I finish a book and move on to the next one.

In the past few years, I have often thought that I have learned a great deal about who I am. I have grown much since middle school and have

I remember vividly arriving on the first day of seventh grade not really focused on the school year, but focused on my first day as a Collegiate football player that afternoon. However my new English teacher Mr.Bradshaw, noticed that on the first day and changed my priorities very quickly. The first semester of seventh grade was tough for me, learning how to balance school and sports is a vital part of my growth as a student athlete, which I am still trying to figure out today. Seventh grade was definitely a year where I learned a lot, I learned to not eat my snack in assembly from Mr. Rider, I learned that Bubba’s barber shop gives crummy haircuts, I learned the importance of leadership, and preparation, I have learned to dream, and not make dreams my master, I have learned to think but not to make thoughts my aim. I came out of seventh grade confident in myself and in my abilities, and ready to embark on the last part of my middle school journey, eighth grade. I went into eighth grade knowing my role as a leader of the middle school and ready to embrace it. Now at the end of my eighth grade year, having learned a lot in middle

After I graduated from middle school and entered high school, I experienced numerous changes throughout my learning and education. During my freshman year of high school, I was able to apply the skills, concepts, and knowledge that I learned throughout my years in middle school, which allowed me to gain success as a student. I

My year being a seventh grader has been filed with great experiences and growth. I was pushed to being the best I can be by my teachers and wonderful classmates in all of my classes. They did this by explaining to me how to make my work stronger and how to make me writing in my depth.This year has given me plenty of opportunities for my future.

At the beginning of my ninth grade, I started to feel and sense I was in a different environment from Jr. High. I became more serious about my school work. I started performing at such a higher level than ever before. I became an A-B Student and score advance on my SATP Algebra I test and proficient on my SATP Biology I test.

My time spent in the Clinical setting, so far, has been extremely inciteful as to how to become a better educator in a classroom setting. Through the data I collected I was able to connect Borich’s Seven Variables of learning to the students. By being in the clinical setting for nearly two months, I have been exposed to new ways of thinking when it comes to structuring a classroom and instructing a classroom. Within this reflection you will find out how I would better plan an effective lesson for the pupils in my future classroom. You will also discover what I will do about certain issues in the classroom and how I will address/fix them.

I am Connie Alarcon a junior at Valley High School and my growth both personally and academically this school year has been one of the most mentally exhausting years of my life. This year truly made me mentally stronger, as well as changed me as a person and displayed academic growth in me , it taught me valuable things that I know will help me in the future. What this year truly taught me that i will forever value and always try to remember as I go through life is that at the end of the day I will be the only one who cares enough and has to fight for the future I want, nobody else will be able to fight for my future the one I want as much as I can and will.

Union Middle School started a skills success program for all students during a homeroom type class that meet twice a week. I collaborated with another teacher in creating a program focusing on th students’ soft skills: organization, goals, time management.

Growing is hard! True growth can be very uncomfortable and frightening. It means that I have to step outside my comfort zone. To mature as a person is what I strive for. I want to mature emotionally, socially, and physically. To be open to growth you have to try harder and that is my motto. Try as hard as you can and you will never fail! I want to be able to take responsibility for my growth! After the four years at Ignatius hopefully I can achieve all of the

Upon looking back at my honors experience at Elgin Community College, I vividly remember the first honors class that I attended, American Government, or POS 150. I remember being extremely nervous to attend this class. At this point in my ECC career, I still doubted myself when it came to my academics and what I was capable of. I kept thinking that I was going to fail my honors class and ruin my honors experience. What I soon came to realize was that this class was going to be something completely different than the traditional classes that I had taken before. The setting of this class was mostly discussion, lecture, and reflection. We had our textbook, Democracy for the Few, and each week we were instructed to read a chapter and then come to class ready to discuss and share our ideas.

From the first day I entered my new middle school, I knew that my life was about to change forever. The countless modifications, some good and some bad, were about to mold me into what I would become at the end of 8th grade. Getting more involved with my community, becoming more athletic, and being kinder are just a few of the things that I think that I have improved upon. I have also gained some not-so-good qualities, which include biting my nails, not being as smart, and lying to myself about many things. Overall though, I think that I have made tremendous progress and have blossomed into a great student who is ready for high school.

Now that I have completed my first semester of senior year, I feel like I have grown as an academic student and as a global citizen in many ways. However, I feel that the career hierarchy with Ms. Burnett has helped me grow as an academic student the most and the Rally in the Valley has helped me grow as a Global citizen the most.

As the semester started, I had set my mind that I was destined to achieve a lot. During the start of the semester, I had several difficulties writing English assignments especially in terms of grammar. During the first week of the semester, I sat down, organized my thoughts and comprehended that throughout the semester, I had to achieve all that I had planned for. As a student of English, I had planned that throughout the semester, I had to improve my skills as a scholar, writer and critical thinker. Now that the semester has ended, I can reflect all the semester activities to depict how my writing skills and critical thinking skills have drastically improved. This paper presents a reflection paper of how this

To summarize I feel that I have grown theoretically over the course of my undergrad; I realize that I have only scratched the surface. I have so much still to learn and being involved at so many different levels provides me with endless opportunities to continue to grow. I believe that this growth will enable me to be a more
