Golden Growth
I’ve always been an energetic person, throughout elementary & middle school I was always the center of the classroom, always trying to gain attention from my peers, and not always the good kind. Everyone seemed to like me and I got along with everyone, people thought I was hilarious, and the attention I got from everybody I thoroughly enjoyed. I had a lot of fun throughout these years. But when I entered High School in 9th grade for the first time, something changed. For one of the first times in my life, I felt small, which was odd I never really felt this way before because I was by no means a big person, matter fact, I was one of the smallest freshmen at the whole school. I was just your average high school student and
Raising the bar for high school will benefit the students in later on in life. I do agree that they should be raise to help the student in education. For their own good in life.
A wise person said, “you don’t grow through success, you grow through what you go through.” The book, Mindest written by Carol S. Dweck, examines how the fixed and growth mindset leads to generating the motivations and conduct of individuals. This book is essential because it educates people on the notion of self- improvement in regard to learning, acquiring, and improving relationships with others as there is always room for progress. A growth mindset is very favorable in regard to improving love, family, friendships, and parenting relationships through many aspects. To begin, a growth mindset helps to enhance a relationship through forgiveness, respect, and self-improvement.
In many moments of my life I have felt small. Even within my brazen fantasies of changing the world I would often snicker and ask myself, "Who are you to be able to do such things? You are only one little person!" It was with this feeling of doubt that I headed to Girls State in the summer after my junior year.
Students of Mount Miguel High School lack the growth mindset because Mount Miguel is known for having low expectations. Students believe by attending Mount Miguel High School they are setting themselves up to fail and seen by other schools as inefficient or incapable. Also how the teachers of Mount Miguel are not pushing their students to the standards they need to be. Teachers are creating undemanding work, instead of challenging students. They are making students become neglectful and hopeless on understanding how life after high school will work.
After a difficult year in seventh grade, I was going into eighth grade nervous since all of my friends that were with me for most of my school life parted ways with me and I felt all alone going into eighth grade that year. When eighth grade year started it was still difficult for me to feel comfortable since I don’t have much of close friends anymore and I was still being made fun of by some people and I took jokes very personally that year. I would also feel very different between certain days, sometimes I would feel confident while other days I’ll feel like nobody likes me and be so down on myself. Soon though I managed to get used to how eighth grade was like and even though I still didn’t have as many friends years prior I was now starting
As an aspiring occupational therapist, my essential goal is to provide services and opportunities to impaired individuals, specifically in under-developed communities, that may not have the proper resources and guidance. What made me want to dedicate my life to assisting individuals is from observing my grandmother take care of my great-grandmother until she passed away. While trying to maintain her own health, my grandmother helped her mother with tasks such as feeding, changing, and more all by herself. Watching her struggle with no support made me wish I could make life simpler for her. Also, I wished my great-grandmother had the utilities to help her interact with my family without dilemmas. Considering my great-grandmother and my future
When I was 12 years old, I started having this constant feeling that I didn’t fit in with the world. This seemed normal, though. Talking to friends, it
Hamlet Madness can drive people to do crazy things. In the play Hamlet, by William Shakespeare there are many characters that go mad. It got to the point to where Hamlet would marry his own mother to keep Claudius from ruling. Madness is eventually what gets everyone killed in the end. To conclude revenge is a very power feeling that can be deadly.
In the beginning of middle school, I was a chubby kid. I had a hard time my first in middle school. Girls didn’t like me and I didn’t have a lot of friends. A lot of people used to make fun of me. One of the coaches asked me to play football, so I went to the doctor and got a physical. I’m glad
The growth mindset is a project in my middle school that teaches us a positive way to move forward in school. If you get a grade you're not happy with, it is seen as inspirational because lessons can be learned from it for further learning. In the former president's speech, Barack Obama had said: “Our nation has been flawless from the start, but that we have shown the capacity to change and make life better for those who follow.” This indicates adherence to a growth mindset because it shows that there is room to learn and change a learn as a nation, especially for the other people who trail behind. The value that I put on freedom, equality and privacy as an adolescent is a lot. If I didn't have these rights, I wouldn't be able to go places, feel safe in my own home, and I would be discriminated by my age or race.
The reason why I felt shorter than everyone else even though I was 6,0 ft and in the 10th grade, the reason why I kept on looking up at everyone. was that I was living in a pit that never stops sinking into the ground, one might say why didn't you realize it sooner? and I would say, I was a child i was oblivious to the world in front of me and I was oblivious to the pit that I was living in. this sparked a fire in my heart and in my mind. Enraged by this knowledge I turned this anger into a passion, where I would first find the ladder to get myself out of that pit and second to never have to live in another pit again. the first phase was complete it was 11th grade I was 6,1 ft and I was ready to start this transition of moving towards and building a strong foundation for myself, to ensure that I would never sink again. I made it a priority to partake in the most challenging courses in my school and also participate in various programs such as the after-school program at the American museums of natural history where that added an extra class. And taken more time. But It was fine, just as long as that adds more things to fill my pit that was back
I was one of the tallest people in my grade, and was super skinny. With my mild Cerebral Palsy, I had speech problems for a long time. Due to all of this, I didn’t exactly fit in. Every day as I walked in the doors, I would completely shut down. My grades fell, and I blocked most of the world out. I could here the “popular” groups whispering and giggling every time I walked in the hall and notes would be passed around in class. I sat at a table in the corner by myself, I didn’t have any friends in
Being a high school student in the tenth grade things a bit hectic all the tests and book reports I have to do I always get caught up in my school work. Since my school life consists of nothing but essays, keynotes, benchmarks and free response questions. Never anything less than teachers pressing on about double spaces, sentence patterns and “Where to put the semi-colon.” I have never really noticed that they fail to teach or lecture me about unique writing skills until I got into this class. “Strength and growth come only through continuous effort and struggle.” That quote was from Napoleon Hill and it means more than enough to me because I thrive everyday to succeed in life and over the years and through this class I’ve learned, Growth and success are the key things. I have learned that if you put effort into all you do that you’ll be surprised with what the outcome may be. That you can start now because you’re never too old or too young to learn how to succeed and have a successful life.
Walking into school on my first day of high school, I felt out of place. My face covered in acne, my teeth covered in braces, and the callicks in my hair stuck up through the abnormally thick layer of hair gel that coated them. My middle school social anxiety still ruled over me as I could barely speak with any member of the opposite sex. Yet, I still had an odd confidence about me. I had always been one of the best students in my class, even without ever studying for a test. I viewed high school as a slight uptick from the curriculum I had easily passed in middle school. I was wrong. High school exists as a microcosm of society, in which I originally failed to acclimate myself to the challenges posed to me in a setting of increased
Technology was a key role in history, it shaped civilizations and outcomes of many things. Technology was a primary focus amongst many civilizations including the Roman Empire and the Han Dynasty. In addition, both civilizations had an appreciation to the technology no matter what social class, and both also payed attention and how they could modify it to benefit the civilization in anyway.
