Hello Mrs. Pyrum, I hope to have a good year with you! I’m glad I’m in your class for Global humanities. It’s really exciting to get a fresh start and I hope I’m able to do well. There is a lot I’ve heard about high school from my friends and relatives. I’m thrilled for the clubs that Cactus offers; I didn’t take the chance to join any extra clubs in middle school except one year of Art club. Student council is something I’m really looking forward to, I had the opportunity to join at both of my middle schools but I never acted on that urge to join. I’m hoping to have a fun time and learn more about myself in these 4 years, I want to get good grades and be someone who everyone knows is reliable. I ended up getting all honors, so …show more content…
My life isn’t the most normal situation since I don’t have anyone but my parents out here in Arizona with me, but it’s definitely not completely crazy either. I try not to let home life interfere with school, so I’m not going to write much about it in this letter. I’ve said before though, I have a family member dealing with some serious medical issues, and I hope it’ll never interfere with my work, but I’ll be sure to let you know if something has happened and it’s affected my school schedule/work. It wasn’t too long ago when this happened, but a very difficult moment for me in my life happened at home in July. I had just gotten back from Chicago, and it was a very weird travelling summer overall, but my dad left just a couple days after I got back, leaving me stuck with my mom and my uncle who is staying with us for a couple of months. He is a painter and so is his older brother, he went back to Chicago for a week and a half because his had work for him. My uncle, my dad's younger brother, and I don't really get along because he likes to bother me by standing in my room doing nothing or mess with my animals. My mom got sick after my dad left so I had to take the adult role of the house, nothing I'm not already used to, but it was very stressful for me because I don't have good patience. Since my dad wasn't home, I was getting frustrated way more easily than normal because I knew I didn’t want to have any problems escalate or not be able to enjoy myself. That caused me to get really flustered and I'd get angry at my mom not listening to me to lie down and get rest since she was sick along with having to watch my uncle to keep him out of trouble too. I ended up getting through it all fine in the end nonetheless I was stoked to have my dad back at home when he returned. Usually I can handle watching the house a lot better, but my uncle wears on me a lot. I ended up learning that getting frustrated wasn't the best way to
Of all the things I value, what makes me most happy is when I have the opportunity to help someone in need and I get to achieve that opportunity. The clubs I joined in high school allowed me to express this thing I love to do in many different aspects helping different people with many obstacles they face. The first activity I participated in was for entertainment purposes for dogs that are kept in pounds because they have not been adopted. This made my community stronger because we raised awareness to people who were interested in adopting after our activity, in addition to helping the dogs that are in need of attention and excitement using our abilities with art. In addition to this activity, National Art Honor Society has helped our school
I feel that I can excel in this school environment and that my middle school efforts have prepared me well for this program. I would like to close by thanking you for giving us students this opportunity to further our own
The National Art Honor Society, more commonly known at NAHS, is a club where students in grades 9-12 can volunteer to spread their love of art throughout the community and beyond. We are similar to the more widely known National Honor Society (NHS) in the fact that NAHS requires a certain amount of volunteer hours except all of our volunteer hours are art-related. The club is fairly new, but we have big plans for this year with projects such as, elementary school art workshops, face painting fundraisers, and murals in the works.
I would like you to know that I could’ve changed how I acted back home if you gave me the chance, if you let me show you. But, it is too late now what’s done is done, no going back. Also I am not immature like you think I am I just don’t like going to school, I think it is a waste of time when I could practice poker and make a living off of it. I’m not sure if this letter will ever reach you but if it does I wish you good luck living on your own now that i’m not around to help.
Being involved in clubs and activities while at DCHS has allowed me to grow and mature as a person and as a student. With the various clubs and activities I am involved in (Art Club, Book Club, Debate, GSA, Ladies Community Outreach, National Honors Society, Scholar’s Bowl, and Young Life), I’ve become more confident, outgoing, helpful, open-minded, and have met new people who I’ve come to be friends with.
I really enjoyed your class. I've learned a lot from you and feel like you've gotten to know me well. English is definitely my favorite subject, and I am proud of my grade that I received in your class last semester. As you may recall, I decided to self-study both AP Literature and AP English Language this year. When I told people that I wanted to take these exams as a junior, they all thought I was joking due to the fact that AP Literature is one of the toughest courses to self-study. Surprisingly, I found the inspiration to take these exams from the assignments and works of literature that we went through in your class. Without all the activities we did in class, I certainly would not feel as confident with my performance as I am now. On the actual test, I wrote my AP Lit
Thank you for a great year! I wanted to let you know how much I sincerely appreciate everything you have done for me this year. You have constantly encouraged me to do my best and to believe in myself. Before this year, History was a class which I dreaded because I thought I was not good at it. After this year, I can confidently say that I have learned to really enjoy it. Your class has changed my outlook on History.
Hence why my grades slipped terribly and I would barely leave the house. I started to pull myself together and started to grow as an adult. I'm trying to make my decisions based on what I think is good for me. I try to let you know that I am thankful for what you to for me. Especially what you've done for Trevor. He was not in a good place but now he's stable and taking care of himself. I don't want you to think I'm not sorry for what you have to deal with now. I am truly sorry for what is happening as a result. all I want and will ever want if for you to be proud of me. I try not to ask for much because I know how hard things are for you. I don't want you to be angry at me. I am deeply sorry for my
I’m writing this letter to you to let you know what to expect for your sophomore year. I will be giving you some advice for some of the classes you will have to take in 10th grade. It is your second year in highschool and you still have a while till you graduate so you still have to try your best. So the classes we will be talking about is English 10 with Mrs. Ladwigs, Speech with Mr. Oakander, Health with Miss Maresh, Spanish 2 with Miss Messerer, Fitness training (weight lifting) with Mr. Worm, Economic and Business Law with Miss Gestring, Geography and American History with Mr. Vanwinkle, Biology with Mr. Carmichael, and Geometry with Backstrom. I am going to give you some tips to help you in those classes.
Today I wrote this letter to introduce myself to you for the purpose of improving our collaboration during this semester. As a first son and a fifth child in the family, I’ve received many loves from my parents and my four older sisters. My family migrated from Vietnam to the United States five years ago and carried our new hopes and dreams to this place. I was having a tough time in maintaining my native language and learning English at the same time. I don’t have any interest in reading books because I‘ve never really enjoy any book that I’ve read in the past, or just because I haven’t read as much book as i thought I did. My goal for this year is to past every classes with an A. The reason is I don’t want to lose my financial aid, and
Kaitlin, I’m elated to see that we have this class together! I have a fascination with poetry, too! I’d rather just write it than to perform or read it, though, I absolutely LOVE watching it be performed. You are so talented! I’ve had the pleasure of reading some of your work and seeing you perform it on stage; it is just amazing! It was interesting reading about you. I never knew you worked at Taco Bueno! I’ve known you for such a long time, yet I feel as though I have learned more from that excerpt. I, too, plan to go to the University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma after high school! Hopefully we will come across one
This week for my weekly writing assignment, I will be writing on my feelings of high school, what I am hoping for, what I am looking forward to, and what I fear. In high school, what I am hoping for is both a learning experience, as well as physical and emotional growth over the course of four years. I would not only like to grow as a student, but as a person. I would like to increase my knowledge in the field of mathematics, because I am very interested in this field. One of my goals for this year is to be able to take courses at the University Of Chicago starting junior year. This will take a lot of hard work, but I believe that I can accomplish this. What I am looking forward to the most in high school are the classes, the variety, and
Hi there, I hope you’re doing well. As you may have noticed I haven’t been in class lately. You may also have noticed that my work ethic is getting sloppier by the day and that I’m performing poorly in class. This is because I haven’t been in a very good place emotionally lately. In fact I haven’t been, for a long time. But this past month or two, things have become unmanageable for me. I have seeked professional help, unfortunately, things does not seem to be getting better, anytime soon. I know I should’ve let you know about this sooner, but I was scared and embarrassed to admit that I am not in a good place. I also know, that I should be telling you this in person but I don’t know how. So, instead I’m sending this email to you and to all
I wrote this letter because I know it is hard to have a one on one conversation with each other with all the kids ease dropping. This letter is regards to Thomas behavior towards me Friday morning. I am still in shock by the disrespect he had towards me and the fact he thinks this is some funny game. It upsets me that he still got to ride his scoter to school, have a soda, and have electronics after his behavior. I feel that now that he knows there was no consequence from talking to me the way he did, things will escalade in his bad behavior. Therefore, if he does not start showing more respect towards me, or acts the way again towards me, I will not be able to pick him up on Thursdays for football, or be able to help out when you are out
In spring of 2014 I decided that, in order to have a successful semester, I would have to manage my time better and create a better balance between school and being my dad’s primary care provider. That spring I did the same thing I enrolled in two courses: World Since 1914 and Precalculus. This time I changed my mentality into, I’ve been through a lot and nothing can be worse than to see your best friend/dad in and out of the hospital and each time the doctors unsure of this medical mystery. Life threw yet another wrench at me and unfortunately I was unable to dodge it. That same semester I was in a similar circumstance, yet I was able to notice that things
