2 marks should be deducted because my grade is not high enough in the first semester. Not everything turns out well for me but whenever I feel stressful, I always tell myself that I am a lucky person. I have already decided by second year major and the knowledge I learned today will be very useful in the future. The more effort I put in the easier my future life will become. I actually feel excited about learning new things even though I complain sometimes. I really don’t like writing essays, but when I think of it as an effective way to quickly improve my writing skills, the process becomes less boring. I also enjoy the strong sense of achievement when I finish my assignment because I’m actually making progress. I will think positively to
I felt that I put a great deal of effort toward the grade that I wanted, through my strict self discipline in my class effort. I was extremely critical when I was reading novels and stories, editing essays, and writing essays. Moreover, I was able to improve my writing and analyzation
There was time were I couldn’t succeed with my grades my grades were horrible. My concern was if I fail my all my classes what am I going to do. One day i was thinking if i fail all my classes I am not going to succeed with the future career I want. The next day I was overthinking about it I was thinking about my grades and my future career. I started noticing that i must work hard to succeed what I want to be in my future. I wasn’t getting my school work done I realized I had to make a change. I started doing my school work so my grades could be average. I started doing that for like a month my grades were improving. I had to work really hard to success for these grades.

As a final point, you should not stress yourself out about your grades. Stress and anxiety are common enemies in the lives of teenagers, and when you put more pressure on yourself, they begin to dominate. The more anxious you are about upcoming tests, the less likely you are to pass them. Though good grades are a goal to aim for, they are not worth your mental health deteriorating. Remember to calm down, prepare, and be confident in your work.
When it comes to handing in my papers I am never the most confident person. I dread the due dates of most writing assignments. Every time I feel like I have done some great work of writing the grade is always lower than expected. I got to a point where I just wanted to give up because I felt like my writing was way below par. I could not do anything right; every time I received a paper back it was filled with negative markings. In till I figured out something I could be proud of. I put my heart in to everyone of my papers. College is about finding your passion and thinking outside of the box. I always chose the most difficult things by going outside the norm to pick my own topic. I want to be different and write about stuff that was dear to me and stuff I could get personal about. Even though my passion did not always transaction into the grades I wanted, I still am proud that I stood up for writing for passion and not for a grade. Every time I get my paper back I feel that if I would have written about one of the chosen topics I would have did better. I did not let that get to me though I kept writing about the topics I had a motive to write about. At least I have that to look back on and
In my experience, I used to dwell on an assignment if I could not comprehend it. When I would receive a mark lower than I would have liked, I would question my capability. For a student who is a scholarship boy, getting a mark lower than an ‘A’ would damage their self-worth. The process of achieving greatness on each assignment involves an overwhelming amount of emotion. Many students stress over whether or not their work is good enough or meeting the requirements. They are unable to properly think because every thought is controlled by self-doubt. This thought process is not only damaging to the student’s self-esteem but also causes mental and physical illnesses.
As a new immigrant, I took the accuplacer test and went straight to 111 English level. So, English 111 course became my first college English class. It seems like a great achievement for a French speaker. Nonetheless, this performance linked to significant challenges. Even though I am a fighter and an optimist, I was frightened about my academic achievement for this semester. The problems became bigger when I took my first practice test on sentence structure (fragments and run-ons) and got a D. I was frightened and felt that I will have to drop the class. However, I decided not to give up. I started working hard and had a V+ on the next test. This positive grade energized me until now. During this semester, I have much homework and practices which allow me to identify some strengths, weaknesses, and gave me lots of skills for my English 112 class and the future.
For centuries, people from all latitudes have been fascinated by the night sky. The unreachable stars, the Moon, the comets and all the events happening in the sky, fired up imaginations and became symbols of life and death, of war, peace and the passing of time and the seasons. The movement of the stars was used to establish the time for planting and harvesting, to prepare for the long winters and to try to discover the future and destiny, the eternal unknown destiny of the human race. Three large human groups, the Mayans, the Aztecs and the Zapotecs populated the Central and Southeastern regions of Mexico long before the discovery of the continent by Columbus. These ancient cultures developed a very complex knowledge of
The majority of them were in my English classes and a few essays for other classes, which takes only a few days to compose. I mainly took standard English classes and one honors throughout high school. The grades I've received from my writings and also for the class are mainly B's and a few A's, nevertheless, I would like to receive an A in this class. At this point, you might be frowning and begin to question my previous statement. How could someone who only worked hard enough just to receive a B's will receive an A in this class? I am also not a very experienced writer as I've established earlier. I also fully understand that this course will be more challenging than any of my previous English classes, hence I am having an anxiety attack while writing this essay, nevertheless I truly want to become a better writer. A good writing skill is one of the keys to become successful. You will be required to be able to intellectually express yourself to
I am confident enough to rate on a scale from 1-10, that 10 rates how confident I am to complete my education. I have changed my work schedule to allow myself to complete my assignments and I put my assignments first when they post. Instead of waiting another day, why not just complete it today. I can say I have been stressed some that my computer wont be fixed until September 11, and I had some problems with some assignment uploads; I have not allowed those minor problems to stop me from completing my assignments. This is something I am determined to complete and I refuse to stop pushing and driving

When I first started the class I was struggling a lot. Since English is my second language, I had many stressful moments that made me think about dropping my classes. But when I thought about my future, I just kept studying even harder, waiting for my performance to improve. As a result, I felt like every time I wrote an essay, it got easier, which tells me that I’m on the right path. In addition, this class has helped me improve my grammar, taught me an important life lesson about sticking on my goal and helped me to enhance my computer skills

1. No matter how hard we try to prepare ourselves for challenging experiences and try to stay positive, it becomes harder to do than planned when the time comes. It was the end of the last semester and I was on the verge of emotional depression that totally overwhelmed me. During the exam period, I wasted my weekends on the Internet, chatting and Facebook-ing. I needed to submit an important paper on Tuesday morning. On Sunday night, after wasting so much time of mine and having a little red eyes because of so much exposure to electronic screens, I sat down to write my paper. Only then did I realize that the paper was due the next morning, not on Tuesday. I was extremely nervous because it was too little a time to finish it. Moreover, I was so angry with myself that I wanted to cry. It was a realization that I was off course in my study habits and that I had not overcome my habit of willingly putting myself in difficult positions. The more I thought about being in that mess, the angrier I got with myself. I got even angrier thinking about how it was not the first time in my life that I put myself in such a situation. I could not concentrate on my paper because of that emotional response. Then suddenly I thought that I just needed to talk to someone and calm down. I called my classmate and just told her about everything. She said that the instructor had actually extended the deadline until Thursday. It was such a relief. I thanked her profusely and decided
In this week, it was challenging too. I was very stressed because I was waiting for Mr. Alex to give me a new assignment to do since in most times I do the assignment outside the office. The reason is that the office is so small and there is no place for me to work in the office. However, I meet with Mr. Alex or Rosa his research assistant every week to make sure that I understand the task that I have to perform. In this week Ms. Alex was outside the office and Rosa took his place to explain to me the assignments and help me understand. I was very stressed and worried about the assignment and the time that I will take to complete since it was a very busy week. It was the week after the final exams and I had to write ten pages for Organizational behavior’s class and another research paper for English class. It was very hard and challenging because it was my first time doing a research paper and writing ten pages essay. I was very worried to the point that I was crying. It always took me a long time and so much energy just to get ready and build my confidence to do it. My word that I always say is “I can do it, I can do it.” I also talk to my parents and my counselor in the school to gain motivation and self-confidence. I believe that when someone believe
American Literature started in the seventeenth century, beginning with the arrival of English speaking Europeans in what would become the United States. Authors throughout history have shaped the way we look at literature in the present time. Authors have created works of art that inspired social change in the American States. Literature was being made based on what was happening in the country at the time. Authors wanted people to read their stories, poems and magazines and then look at life from a different perspective. Authors expressed their beliefs through their work. Authors have used works of literature to inspire social change in America with pieces including The Fall of the House of Usher as well as I Hear America Singing and An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge.
