Benefits Of AVID

Being in AVID has not only helped me with my academic work but also provided useful information that I will use throughout my adulthood. Yes, AVID is known for teaching students how to stay organized and help students keep their grades up, but if I hadn't joined AVID I never would've learned what it takes to buy a house, own a car, how to do taxes, etc. I believe that it's crucial for students to learn how to stay organized not to mention, find methods that could help their college life easier.

I would like to attend this program because although I am a native Spanish speaker, I have not been able to practice much due to living in a area where Spanish speaking cultures are scarce.

I also take both Spanish III honors and Latin I classes. Although I am not a native speaker, I can read, write, and speak in Spanish proficiently.

August 16th,2017 was my first day being in Avid, I was kind of nervous because I never heard of this class. When I went to sign up for school I seen it on my schedule and I was really confused on what type of class it was. After I left from signing up for school I went home and searched Avid up. I was actually interested in everything I seen so I thought to myself that this would be a great class for me. When I first started the class I was taking quizzes and I really didn’t pass those quizzes. At first I was having a hard time with my work but then we started to have tutorial groups and I started to get a better understanding.

I also hope to learn how to become more useful in helping others. Along with my major I want to have a focus in international business. I am currently fluent in Tagalog because I served my mission in Manila, Philippines. One of my life goals in life is to be trilingual. I have currently taken Japanese in high school and college. I have invested quite a bit of time into this language and I plan to become fluent in it one way or another. I know how I learn, its going to be through being emerged in the culture. Through this same process I was able to learn Tagalog in 4 months. I know I have what it takes to reach my goals, Heavenly Father taught me that and it is something I hold very dear to my heart. I know that if I am accepted into this program I will go the extra mile and give my all out best

As my freshman year comes to a end, I have learned a lot of new subjects and skills. I I’ve went through ups and downs with grades and friends around me. But I have had a wonderful time dealing with my peers that are right for me. And teachers that I have learned to trust. Many of my classes have taught me multiple things to take with me through highschool, but my AVID class have really impacted me for my freshamn year and taught new skills and life lessons that I can carry through my whole life. There are many words I can say about AVID but tthere are three things stick out to me that I will carry with me; always stay organized, be a leader among my peers, and don’t be afraid to try new things.

I chose this program because it took place in a Spanish speaking country, and was a Spanish-based program. The courses provided would fulfill requirements for my Spanish minor, and I was interested in experiencing the course in service-learning which I hope will give me experience utilizing my Spanish in a stimulating way. In the future, I expect having experience travelling outside of the country will be beneficial. Personally, I also wanted to get extended exposure to Spanish by being immersed in language and experiencing it outside of the classroom. Even though I have been study Spanish for several years, I have very little experience speaking it for my own personal uses. Leaning Spanish in a classroom is beneficial for using Spanish academically,

Should college required students to take a foreign language? That’s the question many college students are debating over. One such student, a high school junior from connecticut wrote “studying a language in college should depend on your interests” and she argues that taking a foreign class should vary upon the student's interest, previous study and whatever a career path required it. Berdan build up her credibility by providing a little bit of her background and personal interest, citing convincing fact and emotional appeal.

U.S. public high schools should offer a Latin as a foreign language program because the benefits for students’ education will outweigh the cost. Most high schools at least offer Spanish and French, which makes sense since the US’ bordering countries are Spanish speaking Mexico and French speaking Canada (at least partially). One reason to add Latin to the current language options is because it continues to influence living languages even though it is considered a dead language. Because of this, through Latin, students will be able to understand English and other languages better. More than half of the English vocabulary is derived from Latin [1], and if students were taught even minimal skills in the Latin language, it could improve spelling and usage skills among many other good results.

As a rising junior last summer, I once again had to pick courses for the upcoming school year. It was easy to choose five of my courses. The last slot, however, was a tough one: should I stop taking Spanish, having already filled the state requirements and the requirements for University of Michigan, or continue on to Spanish 4? It was just recently confirmed that Ms. Maturen, one of the toughest, if not the toughest teacher at our school was teaching the class.

I would like to enroll in Intensive English because it will help me gain experience for college. From what I’ve heard, AP courses have teachers that are into the subjects they teach, and students that are excited to learn. I mean, if everyone in the class was required to write this, I'm pretty sure they’re motivated enough. I have already read a few of the books that the class reads next year, and I enjoyed them.
