Donna Beegle's Analysis

For the past three years of my high school career, and now my fourth, I have made it an obligation to continually expand my horizons in regards to math; when I cannot fully grasp an idea or concept, rather than giving up, I relentlessly pursue the idea until it is understood. During freshman year, math did not come easily to me. I was forced to go in early some days because, simply, I did not comprehend the concepts. However, taking initiative with my school work, and constantly working through problems that were difficult can be deemed one of the best decisions I have made. Although my final grade may not have been an

During the 80’s, in “An insider’s perspective: The Donna Beegle Story,” Donna Beegle restlessly helping people and beloved fight poverty more effectively by getting doctoral degree. At first, not just for her but for the most people living in poverty, education seems to be only stress. Knowledge does not fulfill the hungriness nor the dream jobs that people are living in sorrow life dream of. The thought of dreaming to be a mom, force Beegle to give up on education at the very young age and got married by the age of 15. By the age of 22, Beegle got pregnant 4 times. Because of the insignificant medical treatment and health problem, only Jennifer and Danny are luckily alive. Trying to get pregnant is the only courage for her to avoid heartbreaking

Reported by, (The Chronicle of Higher Education) a newspaper and website, which acts as a digital and written word hub for both students and faculty worldwide. Cathy Davidson’s "We Can't Ignore the Influence of Digital Technologies" was published in 2007. This paper raised significant questions and posed to the academic world, can we afford to turn a blind eye to progress in this digital era. Cathy Davidson is a well know and distinguished scholar, even receiving anappoint by The President of The United States in 2011. I believe the question is both relevant and timely, considering the progress being made daily by an increasingly global community. Students, professors, and even skilled or unskilled labors half way around the world are contributing

The transition from high school into college is undoubtedly a very important time in the lives of many young people. It is a huge step, and a huge change. There are some who cling to their fading high-school life, reluctant to let go and move on. Many of my friends would fall under this category. Some of them seem more prepared for the increasingly near future than others, and they will have varying degrees of success in beginning their college experience, be it near home or hours away. But Natalie is different than they are. Rather than getting caught up in the sentimentality of it all, she is embracing the looming future with open arms.

Math has not been difficult for me sometimes it can be a little bit hard. I did not struggle in middle school math was great when I was in middle school noting was hard for me. Because it was not that hard some times it was hard but not that much when a math problem was hard I ask for help sometimes and when their were no people that did not know how to help me first I think and try to solve it on my own and that is why math is not that hard for me when I was in middle school. In the past, I was feeling bad when I was struggling with a problem. In the past, when I was struggling on a difficult problem, I would never quit on the problem I would continue working until I figure out the solution. Because it was my responsibility to finish my home

Math is a subject that I have struggled with for a very long time; it is something that I always set aside. Math is something that I never saw myself using in my future and I thought if I put it off it would just disappear. When I came to the University I had to take Math 100 and Math SAX, which, unfortunately set me back on finishing math quite a bit because I did not put in the effort as much as I should have, and the amount of work they gave, was quite an overload. I took those courses twice and was still not put into a Math course at the University. That is when I started to push math away, but I have realized I cannot put it off and math is definitely important and we do need to know the subject no matter where we go in life or regardless

I received a C in my first semester of Algebra 2 freshman year and was mortified, too ashamed to speak of it. When I opened my mail-home transcript, I felt as if I were watching my college dreams wither away. It was my first year of high school, a scary indicator of how my math career would pan out the next few years. After my meltdown, I relaxed and wondered, why did this happen? I had five As. What exactly was I doing wrong? After some self-evaluation, I realized I had an issue with math as a subject. In middle school, I only received a B in geometry, which should have given me the idea that I might not be ready for the next level. This is the cliché “denial” phase, where I was making excuses instead of accepting what had

Math has always been difficult for me because I have always had trouble with in even in middle school. I was the students that always had trouble with it and didn't know a step to solving a math problem. I did struggle in middle school with around 7th and 8th grade but in 6th grade I was good at it because it was easy and the steps to soling a problem were short and easy. When I struggled with a problem in the past sometimes I would ask others for help that were in my group or I would ask the teacher when they weren't busy with other students because other students had trouble with problems too. But when I asked for help sometimes I still wouldn't understand how to solve the problem.

Math has not always been difficult for me I sometimes do all my work in math and sometimes I do and turn it in late . In middle school math for me was kind of easy I don't really remember my math classes in six or seventh grade , barely remember eighth grade math and it was kind of easy because I would get help from my friends and we go to do projects with math which will makes math fun . I think that now I am struggling more with math because I sometimes don't understand the problem's and don't ask for help I just don't do it and keep on going with the rest . How I feel when I am struggling with a problem is like I don't have no one to tell that I am stuck so I just don't do it and then I regret not speaking out because it affects my grades

In first grade, I learned the rudimentary mathematical concept that 1+1=2, and I considered math the most simplistic subject in existence. However, eleven years later when I stepped foot into the Advanced Placement Computer Science classroom, math became my greatest enemy. Advanced Placement Computer Science is hard for me because of its rigorous work load and my natural weaknesses in math. It also forces me to apply all the concepts such as: functions, and variables learned from Intro to programming; of which I have had difficulty with as well. Computer Science also adds its own predefined words such as functions and variables that you must memorize and learn to apply quickly. Despite this problem, I had to pass the course so I had to cope with these problems and overcome them with patience, persistence, and hard work. Therefore, I have begun going to numerous tutoring sessions Further, I purchased Computer Science prep books, formed study groups with friends to increase my performance in the class and on homework. I

I wasn't particularly good at math, as I discovered in my first year of high school: I had found out too late that my middle school education did not adequately prepare me for the kinds of classes I would find in freshman year, even though I was technically ahead of the curve - I was taking algebra two while some of my peers were in geometry. I suffered through the first two years of high school math, and when I faced Calculus AB in my junior year, I felt like I had put myself in jeopardy with the difficulty of the course. However over time, both my teacher's lesson style and my willingness to work hard and practice my math skills allowed me to become more comfortable with the subject over time, and was encouraged to study even more by my successes.

Leaving high school, I envisioned college as my chance at not only to gain physical freedom but academic freedom. After be tied down to a constructed schedule for 12 years to have the chance to create my own schedule of when I go to class just put ease to my brain. At first I was going to enlist in the military, but then I decided to enroll in college to show my parents how independent I was. I felt just like Maya Angelou when she stated

In high school math was one of my favorite subjects, but as an adult, I haven't taken a college level course in a long time. I have some insecure about taken a college math course, but I'm not afraid to ask for help or not frightened to seek a tutor. Math is a large part of my career and my daily life. When it is time to start my math course for Ashworth College I will seek help from tutors and set aside extra time for studying, and I will find practice problems that relate to the course. With additional help and studying, I feel like I will be successful in passing my college math

Since elementary math has always been easy for me until I went to middle school math became very difficult for me.It became difficult because my teacher never took time to explain it the problem for me to understand.Therefore I had to stay after school for a tutor to help me understand the problem.After I passed 6 and 7 grade I had a teacher in the 8th grade that always would help me when I asked for help.In the 8th grade I understood the math problems perfectly without struggling.However I started to slack of in math so I had to stay after school for my teacher to help me.I would always get frustrated at myself when I struggled with a problem because I knew I could of solve the problem but I would let my teacher do it for
