Freshman Year Transcripts

The first few months were okay, I struggled with being homesick often which was hard on not only myself but my grades. When I went back for the second semester I felt fine and refreshed. The two months before I was to be done with my first year of college I ended up losing two of my close friends exactly a month apart. This was a difficult time for me to deal with because I was still mourning the loss of my best friend who had passed right after graduation. At that point, I was very depressed but I knew I was close to getting out of school for the summer. I pushed through it and ended up finishing the semester with good grades, which I was very proud of myself

I am every pleased with my grades throughout my high school years. I feel very proud of myself, I did what I could possibly do to keep my grades up. Until this day I learn and also explore new things. Doing my homework everyday and turning in my assignments on time has assisted me a lot in multiple ways. Thanks to my mother for always pushing me to be responsible of my priorities. Working hard and doing my assignments will prepare me into the real world.

Robert Fried, professor of education at Northwestern University described in his book The Game of School the situation that some students are in with their education as that, “The environment of most schools regularly produces a crop of ‘losers’, either temporary or permanent. Temporary losers… are children whose talents go mostly unrecognized by their teachers and fellow students“ This is very important because if someone is depressed about who they are in school, grades it is extremely important for them to realize that they are not necessarily doomed to failure for the rest of their lives. There is a not insignificant chance of them fitting into the “temporary loser” category, in which case they can succeed in the real world. I have had several classes so far where the grades I get do not reflect my competence with the subject. It isn’t the student’s fault that this happens because it is the responsibility of the teacher to give relevant grades and the school system’s responsibility to allow the teachers to give relevant grades for their students. As I have the same teachers as my peers, it is not unreasonable to assume that it must be the same with them too. If this is the case, then it is important to keep in mind that the class grades might be misleading as to how successful you will be

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

This is the same with my sophomore year. Last year English and Latin were my hardest classes. While I had low C’s in English and Latin, I held a B+ average in all of my other classes. My freshman year I did not really understand how important it was for me to get the upmost best grades I could, so I could get into a good college. Now that I am a junior, I have a better understanding on really how important it is to keep good grades. Already this year I have started off on a better foot; holding an 87% average. The better grades that I get now, the better off I will be for getting into the college that I would like to attend. Some changes that I have already made are: I am starting to make myself study every single night, even though the test might not be in the next few days. Farther into the school year I could make the changes of getting help from my teachers if I start falling behind. Furthermore, the new program at CBHS, MAS, is a mandatory class that is taken 3 times a week to help with my grade in any

I understood medical terminology very well, so I made a 100 overall for the first semester. I finished my temple college dual credit English class with a 95 and my dual credit United States history class with an 80. Though I struggled at the end of the first semester of pre-cal, I was able to end the first semester of it with an 88 due to the amount of time I spent out of class practicing the concepts we learning in class; I had the same struggles with physics throughout the entire semester, but ended with an 81 and stayed in the class this semester in hopes of understanding it more this time around. I also finished Bel Canto, choir, with a 100 because I followed directions and paid attention to the goal of sweepstakes at UIL. Overall, I'm proud of the grades I achieved during the first semester of all of my classes and hope to keep that up during the second

All throughout my education I have put forth my best effort, though it did not come easy. I learned early on in school that good grades do not come with little effort; you must put in the time and energy for decent grades because academic success is not a gift. It is a reflection of hard work and perseverance. I have been rewarded for my hard work with a 4.0 GPA and the respectable eleventh spot in my class rank.

During my two years in middle school I was always getting decent grades. Every Time the teachers would talk about the tests they will like give us the answers or break the question down for us. Our teachers never liked to fail their students so if they did fail a test the students will get a retake. The only way you could get the teacher upset is if you tried to cheat on someone during the test. I was sometimes lazy when it came to having to write an essay on simple topics. The reason of that was because if you did not complete the essay on the due date my teacher would feel bad and give me extra time. I would be friendly and kind to all my teachers so that if I did not

My transcripts aren’t the best, I’ll admit, but they are not the worst either. I noticed that I had ‘lazy’ grades. I passed most of my classes, but the ones I failed were because of after school or home projects.

I get good grades, because I work hard to get these grades and graduate faster. My transcript shows that I am not ready for a 4-years university yet. So I can go to a 2-year college first

Some students are able to show their true talent and intelligence just through their high school transcripts. These students that have worked hard: achieved their 4.0 GPA, graduated with honors, and are on their way to a college of their choosing. I myself, have achieved a less than stellar GPA. Always ending the semester with a B or C has put me into a predicament when applying to colleges; not knowing if you’re going to get in or not makes for a mess of anxiety. Myself having an average GPA but being able to score in the 77th percentile on the SAT shows that I have the ability to do more than what my report card says about my intellectual ability. Knowing that my GPA is still very important when applying to colleges I have redone classes

My grades are not accurate predictors of my potential success in the Honors College. During my freshman year, I had no cares academically. I was just in school to waste time, and I never thought about the future. That next summer, I got a job just so I could have something to do. My boss became one of the biggest influences in my life. I instantly decided I wanted to be a manager like him. I set my eyes on my goal and have been working studiously to make the most out of my life. My test scores are somewhat accurate predictors of my success - my ACT scores were satisfactory, but I am not a very fast tester. All three times I have taken it so far, I have not had enough time to finish my reading portions or to revise my essays. My class ranking,

This year was by far the most challenging year because of the classes that I chose. AP English Language, AP US History and Algebra 2 were probably the most difficult. Particularly, Algebra 2 was the hardest because I struggled with team tests and individual tests at times which brought my grade down. However, in spite of the hardships, I managed to earn a B which I am quite satisfied with under the circumstances. However, I earned my B because I made an effort to retake tests when needed, study, and complete all of my homework. Furthermore, another class that was a bit difficult was AP English Language, mainly the essays are what labels the class as hard. Time management while writing three essays is definitely one of my weaknesses because

A reason why I think I was not satisfied with my grades is because I was doing it for an extrinsic purpose, the grade. If I had more intrinsic motivation and found enjoyment in the work I was doing and was actually interested in the field of study I possibly could have
