An “A” Mindset As an English student here at Chaffey College, I can say Ms. Ford 's class was the right fit for me. She warned us early on that her class would not be for everyone; for myself, I can say she has taught me a lot throughout the course of English 475. Her love for teaching shows and has helped me through my journey of earning my “A” in her class. Every day we learned something new that is what made it important for me to attend class every day. During this time, I have worked extremely hard and devoted adequate time to this course, even when my hearing made it difficult at times; I chose to work harder and not give up. I did not allow this disability to hold me back. Despite my hearing impairment, I have earned an A because I have utilized extra resources available to me, which ultimately led to my improvement in the areas of essay writing and reading strategies. For starters, I am entitled to an “A” because I set a goal and achieved it by improving on my essay writing skills. I have been able to do so by learning different writing techniques staying focused, and striving towards academic success. I have excelled well throughout the whole course by making it a priority of being in class every day, ultimately I was able to receive all of the writing skills that were taught and put them to use. Also by being in class every day I was able to get all key information needed for writing a well essay. I made sure to arrange all other things in my life around
I noticed you sent an announcement out about seeing our grade as of Friday in the handout section, but when I try and click on that section there is no link for it. Also, from what I can recall, on the quizzes, and Rocketmix I am not doing well in your class and would like any and all suggestions you have for me. I'm feeling upset with myself as I've been doing well in all of my classes since attending the CSUDH I'm on track to graduate Summa Cum Laude. I have had many struggles in the past with school and getting my first Associates degree and I believe being a first generation college student did not help matter but now 10 years have past since my first degree and I've learned to be a better college student since then and going into
Receiving an “A” in a class means the student completed the curriculum with exceptional work and critical
Motivation is based on the will to continue and achieve some means to an end. Whether it would be to wake up in the morning or to finish a doctorate in medical biology, motivation does exist. It exists for all of us and here is the response I can give for ‘what are my motivations.’
Senior year rapidly is coming to an end, I’ve had the opportunity to see many of my friends come to the exciting moment in their life when they sign that dotted line and I was still waiting on my chance. My entire life I had dreamt of the day to finally committed to a college basketball team, this was my goal and it had to be my purpose in life. January 18, 2015 at 4:41 PM I got an exciting text from Truett-Mcconnell’s head coach, Matt Sanders, stating,” Good afternoon Claudia this is Coach Sanders from Truett-Mcconnell College, and I really feel like we need to begin the recruiting process with you! Sorry to bother you on a Sunday, but I just didn’t want to let time slip away! I look forward to hearing back from you!” Here was my chance!
I believe that I deserve a solid A in English 250 because I have worked very hard in this course and learned many valuable information that will be useful later in my life. Especially this summer because I will be taking a speech class at a community college. I have grown in the learning aspect of this English course, but also in many other areas as well like speaking up in class which I don’t normally do in my other classes due to the number of students and I am just a shy person. Also in this course, I get to work with others in small groups and be a team player from participating in the group discussions and sharing my thoughts about a certain topic. I have been able to analyze many parts of grammar and resources that have urged me to further
Beliefs are the intangible idea’s we form to help us keep going when we are in a rough part of our lives. They are the things we fall back on when we are forced with a tough decision. But most importantly, they are the parts of our identity that make us special. My biggest belief is in confidence. It makes you perform well, and it makes you able to stand up for yourself. But most of all, I believe in confidence because it is the most powerful and important mindset. I got my belief from playing soccer. Confidence has affected me more than anything else with soccer. When I thought I would play well, I played well. When I thought I would play poorly, I tightened up and was awful. This was very hard because my confidence would take a little hit then it would take a long time to recover because as my confidence went down, my skill went down, Then as my skill went down, my confidence went down even further and it was this horrible cycle that was almost impossible to escape from. This is why before I could control it, playing soccer just stopped being fun. If I couldn’t play well, why would I play?
What is mindset? Mindset to me means, the set of attitudes established by someone. When I hear growth mind set, it become apparent to me that growth mindset starts at a young age. I for one think that when you start learning at a young age, all the information that you take in from learning will be in your mind. When you do this you can become smarter and smarter over time. The next topic is fixed mindset. When I hear the topic fixed mindset, my mind agrees that fixed mindset is your mind is fixed. When you have a fixed mindset you will try not to learn new objects. Usually a person with a fixed mindset will not try exploring different subjects, apart than learning the same thing over and over.
So … snaps fingers … wow! This is a lot of people. Well, first off, congratulations everyone; you all made it this far. Hopefully you will be able to make through this speech. According to page ten of the Chisago Lakes High School Student Handbook, all of you have earned at least 28 credits in a variety of disciplines throughout the last four years. And for those English nerds out there, I do have a properly formatted works cited page if you would like to fact-check me. Don’t worry.
As a member of Virginia Commonwealth University’s (VCU) Leaders Engaging in Advance Discoveries (LEAD), were are expected to complete eighty hours of service over the course of two academic school years. Each semester VCU LEAD students are required to complete twenty hours of service, ten-community engagement hours and ten leadership hours. I believe that having a requirement of participation hours pushes students to get involved on VCU’s campus and the greater Richmond area, introduces time management, as well as influences them to reflect on their new found experiences.
We then started reading a lot of college leveled readings. They were different to me. They were difficult and had a lot of texts to be analyzed. The next essay was the comparison between the poverty articles. I received a B+/A- which I was happy to have. I was improving but not as much as I wanted. I was learning how to write better. I realized that I was suppose to explain
On my first freshman English essay, I got a C+. I was a bit miffed. I thought I had done my best.
The Grace M. Davis Class of 2018 has been through much together. From the first day as a freshman realizing that high school is nothing like High School Musical to witnessing your first riot, #DavisRiots2014. We may have never thought about it but we all went through probably the most important part of our lives together. We may have lost friends, but we gained even better ones in return. Some of us found our best friend(s) in these past four years, or maybe you found your best friend before that and grew closer over these past four years, or maybe you’re like me and found your best friend but didn’t know it at first because you used to hate each other.
Why do I deserve an A in college writing? Many hours have been devoted to this question. Each week the class met for almost 3 hours and covered a large amount of material. I have found it to be invaluable. The information has reinforced many Items that I remember from other educational experience but also provided me with new and challenging information. When in high school I took many credits of English which included some writing. The educational experience in this writing class will enhance my capabilities to further my career. The three topics that have remained on my mind are Logical Fallacies, Vocabulary structure, and writing essays. These three topics will assist me in my continued life adventures.
Hello, I would like to be the first to welcome you to Niles West High School!
English class seemed to be the most dreadful to take within school. Writing essays for most of my grade in a class is not what I was looking forward too. When I entered college I knew that it would be one of many challenging classes I would have to take. Starting from the lowest English class to moving on up, the writing assignments became longer and more thought out. The time came when I got into this class that I knew more work was going to have to be put into essays and thus brought out what I had not seen before in my work progress.
