If I were able to tell a freshman beginning high school what to do in order to succeed, I would begin by explaining what is necessary for them to do. The day I began high school, I was unable to differentiate the things that should be taken seriously, versus what should not. Because I was unable to decide which subjects I should study in school, I ended up far behind in credits. Beginning high school as a freshman was very difficult for me. I felt like there were very few people who were able to
Most high school freshmen are often asked bout their future dreams and goals and many have it all planned out, others are just waiting for it to seek them. If I was asked as a freshman “where do you see yourself in six years?” I probably would have never guessed that it would a thousand miles away from home. As I grew older and matured I started to view life from a different perspective and I knew where I was headed and where I needed to relocate to in order to achieve my goals. I began observing
Coming into freshman comp at the beginning of the semester I was worried this would be my hardest class and that I would hate it. Walking in the classroom on the first day and hearing the words, “you will be writing a 10-12 page paper by the end of the semester,” gave me so much anxiety and made me very nervous for the class. As the class is now coming to a close it has made me realize I should have never been so worried about this class and that I would learn many new things I did not know about
When going into my second semester of senior year knowing I had enrolled to take Freshman Composition, I was nervous. However, despite all the negative feedback I had received, I challenged myself to do my best and try my hardest to never give up or slack off. That was unsurprisingly a challenge for me, but with a little motivation of getting the class out of the way this year instead of having to take it next year got me through the semester. After enrolling into this course, I was nervous after
Throughout my entire life – just like anyone else – English and writing papers has been present. In our society, writing papers is a necessary part of educating our youth and helping them to become smarter individuals. For me, these papers have always been a dreaded experience. As soon as a teacher starts talking about a paper that is coming up, my brain instantly starts freaking out. From one-page papers that had to be written in middle school, to a twenty minute presentation I had to give at the end of my
Psych 100 Term Paper Psychological factors can be related to many different problems, one problem that had personally affected me was the grades I got my freshman year of college. I started my college career struggling a little bit and often wondered how I could raise my grades and improve my GPA until I was satisfied with the grades I would get. Coming to college I was finally on my own with no one to wake me up, make me do homework, or go to class. These all led to my GPA not being exactly

“There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed.” This is in my top five favorite quotes. My high school English teacher introduced me to this quote from Ernest Hemingway during one of her lectures. Mrs. Rothe and I were really close and this was also one of her favorite quotes. She had us read the Old Man in the Sea; one of Hemingway’s famous writings. Mrs. Rothe was my English teacher for three years and she taught me how to write well and love it at the same time
As a student in High School, my writing composition was not very well developed. Although, I got help from my teachers, in addition to that, on my free time I went to the library to make extra corrections that were needed. My dad also helped me all throughout high school by reading over my essays and making comments on what I need to improve on, but even then I believe that my writing could have improved. I have tried to find strategic ways to improve my writing and I believe that I may slowly be
Note I have written this mini paper/literature review to satisfy the requirements in Dr. Matthew Vess’s Research Design and Analysis II course (Psych. 225). I have been curious in the past regarding this subject, because I have a fourteen year old son that plays a few of these violent video games. I wanted to know the verities in regards to whether or not playing of these violent video games is linked to aggression. I learned a great deal of knowledge by my research on this subject, and I think
