Graduation Speech : I Was An Mistake From My Past

The biggest failure I experienced was back during my Sophomore year. The hardest class in the high school was AP World History in which the requirements were hours of homework a night. Many people tried to convince me not to take the course due to the fact that it is considered the hardest class in the high school. My mom tried her hardest to try and persuade me to take a different class but I felt that it was a requirement for me to take it to prove to the colleges that I was up for the task and that I was prepared to do the work necessary to succeed in college. The course required reading a whole chapter in the text book in three days and take a quiz to prove that we read and understood the topics. This is where I struggled the most because memorizing the chapters and the major topics was very difficult unlike others who could recited the

It is the student's loss if he/she does not attend class. First, if students do not attend class, it will only hurt them. They will fall behind. College courses move at a fast pace. Without attending class the student will not be able to keep up with the new knowledge. A lot of the homework for college courses is assigned in class. The student will not receive the homework if he/she misses class. Second, students that decide not to go to class will have to put in even more work

High school is supposed to be the place where you have fun and a time in your life you’re supposed to enjoy. Movies often trick you into believing that high school is an amazing time in your life and there is nothing but parties and fun. In Bring it on, they portrayed the fun and exciting part of high school cheer-leading, however they intentionally leave out the tough times high school students’ face in school and in their practices. In other popular movies, such as High School Musical the students have no pressures other than the next basketball game. In reality, this doesn 't happen. The constant pressure is affected by the grade level you are in. In high school, students can be classified based on the pressures that are faced in each grade level into the categories of freshman, sophomores/juniors, and seniors. I am here to help you make your high school experience less stressful.

It’s a good reason to participate in class so they learn in school.Besides,students can only learn things so if they miss out and don't pay attention,they won't know how to do it.In addition,you have to pay attention to get to high school or even college.Along with learning is they’ll past on what they have been struggling on.These

My freshman and sophomore years were the most challenging but also were the years where I learned the most. I fell in love with biology and chemistry because many of my peers struggled but it came so easy to me. My peers would always ask me “ How do you study!?” and “How did you get so smart?”. I really had no answer except that I would try to understand the material to the best of my ability.

Especially in English 101, coming to class is very important since we only meet twice a week and sometimes only one day because the professor has conferences to attend. Moreover, since most of the different activities such as peer review, self review and group work can only be done in class, if a student misses the day that the class do peer review, it might affect their grade. I never missed any day of class so I was able to participate in all the activities with other classmates and had people proofread my essay to give me feedback. From my personal perspective, being able to come to class is very important because I learn better when I interact with my professor and others.

but I forced myself to work so hard because it was one of few constants in my life. Each new school meant new friends and by the time I hit middle school the cliques were formed and I missed out. I soared through school up until seminar classes in San Diego, because I had to put effort in. I was used to being ahead of everyone else and here I was challenged. That is when I learned my passion for

With so much of my focus set on finding new friends, I never really thought about the academic side of school. In elementary school, I was always smart enough to never have to do anything, which as you can imagine set up fantastic studying skills. 6th grade was easy enough, but seventh grade my grades were blighted. Learning these skills was very difficult, and in fact didn't happen until way later at the end of my middle school career. I had to work very hard to maintain the A average I was used

We should all attend the class every week so that we won’t miss any assignments, quizzes, and tests. I think we should not skip class because I think education is more important that having a day from college. I plan on attending college as much as I can because it is very important for me to attend class so that I can learn new writing skills in class so that I can hopefully, pass this class with a good grade. Participating with the teacher, I believe is also important because the teachers can help you if you are having trouble with the

Building in-class continuity will help prepare young adults for the work world and requiring class attendance will help develop students for a thriving career. Fortunately, in grade school you are required to go to school. If you don’t there will be some form of consequences. However, once students enter college they now have the choice of attending class, thus, teaching inconsistency. Doing so holds back other students in the class

I had to fix it because I wanted to be able to join in with peers when it came to my final year in high school.. My guidance counselor, Mimi Festerling, aided me along this process of fixing all my past mistakes. I could call my mishaps worse names, but I do not think that is suitable for a Christian student. When I was a freshman, I actually liked coming to school but for all the wrong reasons. I had a crush and devoted my time to get their attention which led me to neglect my schoolwork. Not only that, but I continued to do this into my sophomore year. At the end of both years I had a horrible GPA; however, my junior year gave me an outline of what a good student was and how I had unlocked my potential. This ties to my summer because I took an online class with Brigham Young University with the help of an actual angel, the aforementioned Mimi Festerling. No doubt, the experience changed me and it gave me a hope to actually finish my senior year and be able to walk across the stage to collect my diploma and go on to

Education is very important in the sense that in today’s society, there is not much success without education. Education allows us to grow and learn intellectually. It gives us the ability to enhance our perception of the world as we see it, and construct our

Many people believe success in college is rocket science, but actually it’s the exact opposite. College is set up for students with the most basic high school knowledge to have a chance to excel. It’s the simple things that can make or break a student’s college career. Things such as going or not going to class. No brainer right? Sometimes sleep seems so much better than eight o’clock A.M. math, but a successful college student has to have the willpower to resist the temptation to not skip out on class. College is all about learning and not cutting corners, which only will hurt in the end. Everyday of missed class information will be lost, therefore the lack of understanding will show on a test or pop quiz. Attendance is a key to success. If I don’t go

There are several reasons why kids need to go to school but to me, the top three reasons are getting an education helps you go farther in life, it’s required by the state that you go till you reach a certain age, and it will help you learn social skills and help you be comfortable to talking to people. Although students may not like going to school, it benefits them in the long run. It is important for students to go to school to get an education. Even though some students may not like to go to school it is required that they go. Even though students may not realize it but they also learn social skills by making friends and talking in front of people.

A prerequisite to success in any in any endeavor is "showing up", and classes are no exception. If you're not showing up to class, you're forfeiting every opportunity provided to you in the classroom.
