In 8th grade, instead of baking cookies or cake in cooking class or drawing pictures in art, I took German 1 to put myself in the position to be placed in AP German my senior year. My freshman and sophomore years of high school I took Photography to work towards taking AP 2D Studio Art along with other AP/accelerated sciences, maths, and english classes. Certainly, there are other students that took just as difficult of courses that I did, but I pushed myself to excel in other courses that others may not have taken.
Throughout my high school career, I have always hustled myself to take these high course level classes. As a freshman I took Honors and Accelerated classes, and by my senior year I was in all AP classes, except for P.E. When I tell
The biggest failure I experienced was back during my Sophomore year. The hardest class in the high school was AP World History in which the requirements were hours of homework a night. Many people tried to convince me not to take the course due to the fact that it is considered the hardest class in the high school. My mom tried her hardest to try and persuade me to take a different class but I felt that it was a requirement for me to take it to prove to the colleges that I was up for the task and that I was prepared to do the work necessary to succeed in college. The course required reading a whole chapter in the text book in three days and take a quiz to prove that we read and understood the topics. This is where I struggled the most because memorizing the chapters and the major topics was very difficult unlike others who could recited the
Through my high school years, I have taken many challenging academic courses, extracurriculars, and community service. By taking AP classes through high school, I have become more prepared for challenging courses in high school and have become more responsible and independent for challenging work, from these Ap classes, I have become more prepared for Honors College. since sophomore year, I have taken the highest level course available. By being in a regular level course I did not feel as if I was being challenged enough and desired more. The high-level courses challenged me and pushed me further as the more challenging it gets the more prepared I would be for the future. As a highly motivated student, I like to be around other students who
I'VE BEEN SUPER EXCITED FOR THIS TO COME OUT!!! For those who don't know this is one of my anticipated of the year (you can check out my list if you haven't already, I posted it in September). But since this is the last book of the series I don't feel the need to write a very long non-spoiler review. I won't write the reasons why I love this series so much in my Top Ten list if you would like to check that. The series starts out in this futuristic world where a young girl named Cinder catches the eye of Prince Kai, the future empire of the Common Wealth. The only problem is that she's a cyborg, part-human part-robot. For this book, I would give it about a 4/5 stars. I was definitely a great read but it wasn't my favorite book in the series, I honestly felt that Cress was the best book, then
that she had a male, Igor Gentsaryuk, in custody for DUI near the 3700 block of
I have always succeeded in all of my courses with high marks, earning a place in the National Honor Society. I have been in accelerated English, math, and science since eighth grade and took my first Advanced Placement course in tenth grade. Midway through tenth grade, I made the decision to graduate early considering my senior year would be very minimal in course work. To graduate early, I took economics independently last spring and challenged the U.S History and Government course. I am currently taking thirteen credits in college courses and going on clinical rotations three times a week in the hospital through the New Vision Medical Program.
I had just won first place in the oldest, most competitive sewing contest in the country! Something most people could only dream of had suddenly become my reality. So why wasn’t I happy? Why did I feel like I was being whisked off to prepare for the Hunger Games, groomed and fussed over by people who didn’t care about me?
I have been teaching for 6 years, and in that time I have been exposed to thousands of students, and it should be no surprise that every year there is a small group of students who modify my worldview, make me better, and teach me necessary lessons. Reilly Edgar is one of those students. He walked into my theology class second semester of his junior year with a quiet and respectful demeanor. I had spent the previous semester laying the foundation for a trusting relationship with his classmates. We were about to enter into the world of morality where the progress of the class would be predicated upon the student’s willingness to engage in discussions on pressing issues such as racism, sexual assault, gender roles, sexuality and abortion. Reilly
Education and learning expert, Carol Dweck, says “For no matter what your ability is, effort is what ignites that ability and turns it into an accomplishment.” This is the philosophy I adhere to. Throughout high school, I have strived to take the harder classes and to challenge myself instead of taking the GPA boosting classes. Life only delivers the amount that you are willing to give. I am and always have been willing to go the extra mile and to push myself to new limits. I want to continue this philosophy throughout college by taking the more rigor courses that the honors program will offer. I believe I have the passion, the perseverance, and the strength to achieve these goals.
My difficult courses has taught me to always give my best effort no matter how hard the task at hand is. I have taken three advanced placement classes and four honors classes. Taking on these courses I sacrifice leisure time to study. I study between two to three hours a night for these classes so I can do my best. This is exemplified with me getting all A’s in my classes last semester. The monumental lesson I learned from my course load is to
Yeah exactly. It's kind of like if I'm getting towards a door people always want to run to it to open it for me it's like you know look at the guns on this guy don't you go open the door. It would seem thing with like you know you know a grandma to come over and push you really come on Gramma I can get you know I got smart drive me and I think what plays into it too is that like I you said it's really intuitive. It's somebodies chair that they already spent twenty four seven M(11.20). and by just attaching that thing it's boom you have a power assist and you're already everything is perfect for your body you already paid thousands of dollars to have a custom wheelchair. Why paying you know
Best Christmas ever. Our family is probably having a great day with my cousins. We are now enclosed by German district. Bastogne, 7 ways in and 7 ways to out. Germany totally enclosed us and our supply line is pledged. It’s just 101st airborne and a cameraman. I came down here to see how bad is the situation by stationing in the front line. The sun is setting and everything is painted with red. all you can hear and smell was firing sound and gunpowder. everywhere.
Academic choices I have made throughout my high school career are sufficient to project me toward the right direction. Courses I attend classify as AP. Not only will they help me gain some college credit, but they will aid in the transition to future college courses. Though it tests my time management, I have been able to succeed without any problems.
Most of my friends would be surprised to hear that I have to work so much harder in these classes. Many of them know that I am in Advanced Placement classes, so they automatically assume I am naturally gifted in all subject areas and that the course matter comes easily to me. I am actually in the highest math class offered at my school, a combination of Calculus 3 and Differential Equations. This course is two grade levels higher than the math class average senior takes. Although I am very
I have always loved challenging myself and I thrive under the stress that is put on me from my rigorous schoolwork. In order to further challenge myself at school I decided to take as many advanced placement and honors courses as I could, but I still felt like I would be wasting some of my time on easy classes because I would eventually run out of higher level courses to take. In order to resolve this problem I decided to graduate a year early from high school and accomplishing this meant taking extra classes each semester. My senior year I did not take the easy course load, but instead took even more advanced placement classes, a dual enrollment class, and honors classes. I will be proud of this accomplishment because I know that I have challenged
German culture night here at und was an awesome experience. If it wasn’t for this class I probably wouldn’t have went to this event. I would have just stuck to my routine and stayed at home. I would not have gotten to experience what some of my culture is all about. I think it was a really cool experience. The two students that but it on where really great. Jessica Heller did an amazing job. I didn’t really get too involved into the event I was kind of nervous since it was my first time attending one of these events here on campus.
