Honor's Accomplishments

The challenge in first semester was not the actual work,the challenging part for me was having to get it all done and have it turned in on its due date.For example not having “To Kill A Mockingbird” notes and the reading that came with it.I know i am capable of passing this class i just don’t put the effort into all of my work but this semester I am going to stop slacking off and and actually get my work done and have it all due on its due date.

The first semester was definitely a make It or break it for students. I came into this program not realizing how much time and effort is put into this program. I had to become very disciplined with my time and focus only on the program. There have been many nights of no sleep and no eating to maintain the grades that I have now. Currently, for the spring semester, I have all A's which will bring my GPA up from a 3.484 to a 3.6 or higher. The main goal to succeed in this program is to study, manage your time and to discipline yourself. I am a person that enjoys to overcome new challenges in life. This program has been such a challenge but I am almost halfway there. I promised my family and myself that I will continue to successfully progress in this program no matter what obstacles comes in my way. All of this will be worth it in the end. In the next year, I will be graduating the Radiology Program with an Honors Associates Degree. From there, I will continue my education at Chattanooga State Community College to get my Certification for Radiation Therapy to help patient's with their struggle to overcome cancer. After a year, I will then get my Certification for

I have made a schedule on what days I would be writing my papers for my other 3 classes. I also broke down the chapters I will be studying on different days for my algebra class. I don’t think it will be to hard because in high school I had to take 6 exams for all my classes. This year all I have to take is one physical in class exam. So this whole process will be different for me. To this day I still appreciate how prepared I came into college, in large parts thanks to my high school. If all goes well, I can finish my first semester with all A’s. Although the semester went by fast, there were days were it went by really slow. I’ve learned a lot in my first semester. Some things didn’t go as expected for me, but in the end it’s a lesson leaned. Lastly, next semester I will be having a new roommate. One of my roommates is transferring so I am assuming that they would place another girl in our room. I’m anxious to see who it is and how everything turns out. Hopefully everything works out because have good roommates is essential for a good college experience, in my opinion. Anyways these next 2 weeks I will be reviewing all my notes and writing all my papers. I know what the reward is for me if I everything goes well. I must finish the semester

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

It has been said, "I would rather die standing than live on my knees!" (Emiliano Zapata). All things are possible to a person who stands on the foundation of honor. The definition of honor is a high regard or respect; personal integrity; reputation; privilege (Webster’s Dictionary). The word honor comes from Latin Honos. Honor shapes lives everyday, and provides the glue that holds a family, community and country together.

So far this school year I believe things have been quite mellow, but it's still the beginning of the year and I have two less classes than previous school years, so it makes sense. However AP Computer Science is not working out, and everyone else in the class seems leagues ahead of me, and are stooping to a lower level of learning just so newbies like me can keep up. I should have seen it coming though since Mr. Daugherty's classes are fast-paced math courses and in retrospect I have never been good at mathematics. I'm thinking about switching out of the class but then I might have to find another one to switch into, and I'm aware that all the classes that interest me are full and on their way already. I'm falling behind in my college prepping although I've already looked at a few colleges that I find suitable but I need to work on my personal statements and resume and so forth.

I admit, I had a very challenging time last semester, and as a result my grades suffered. I don’t mean to make excuses for my poor performance in school but I would like to explain my circumstance. During my second semester of college I treated my classes like I did in high school thinking I could coast by and pass my classes, but when I noticed how poorly I was doing in class everything was already headed downhill. I started the second

In 1962 during the American Civil War, the Nation’s highest decoration in combat was established. The Medal of Honor is presented to those who go above and beyond the Call of Duty. These Soldiers did not just display Valor, but also what we now call Army Values. They were Loyal to their country, set on their Duty obligation and Selflessly put our country ahead of themselves. They kept moving forward against the enemy, never retreating, only showing the importance of Integrity for their country, with Courage and Honor. Every part of the Medal of Honor symbolizes everything the Soldier did to receive that decoration.

The definition of a tragic hero is perceived as one who is neither wicked nor purely innocent, one who “is brave and noble but guilty of the tragic flaw of assuming that honorable ends justify dishonorable means”. In The Tragedy of Julius Caesar, Brutus takes the role of the tragic hero. Brutus’s honor, nobility, and self-righteousness makes him “a tragic figure, if not the hero” (Catherine C. Dominic).

Getting accepted into the National Honor Society is my proudest achievements to date, and even though it is not the most outstanding achievement, it was important to me because it transcended academics. To understand why I’m so proud of this achievement, you must first understand the enigmatic segregation that plagues my school. I attend Gaithersburg High School in Gaithersburg, Maryland. The city of Gaithersburg is known as the most diverse city in the U.S and this diversity is well represented at my school. Unfortunately, the diversity in my school is undermined by segregation between the minority (excluding the Asian students) and the White students (including the Asian students). Now I’m not speaking of segregation in terms of separate water

In the Spring 2017 semester, I really buckled down, got every homework assignment and event down on the planner so I knew what each week looked like. The first couple months to about spring break I was going to class and only missed due to some extreme circumstances. But I got over whelmed during the semester, being President of Children of The American Revolution, and active in my sorority, these things took away from my academic

2014 Fall Semester in the begining was going pretty good i was excited to began school , adapting to the new college life, and interacting with friends and new people. I was attending all my classes on time , studying , and completing the required assigments that needed to be done. I also was working a full-time at Gensis Logistics it wasnt easy trying to manage my schedule , but i tried to make it work the best i could. MTE 1 , 3 , and SDV was a breeze to me I was completing my assigments , studying , and understanding the information that was given to me. Now on the otherhand ENG wasn't hard for me i just didnt understand the content that was teached by the teacher. English was always the strongest subject for me so i couldnt understand why it was such a problem in college , maybe it was the teacher and her teaching methods. I never understood any information that was given it seemed to me like our class was always off topic one class period we would talk english, and then another class period we would talk about something else besides english. Then she assigned papers and assigments that was unfamilar to me it seem like everytime she assigned the class papers

In this essay, I will argue that honor is a theme of A Few Good Men due to the fact that two Marine Corps soldiers are questioned whether they were ordered a “Code Red” or handling the situation for breaking the chain of command.

As a first semester student in Honors English 11 I didn’t really know what to expect going in. However, what I did know was that HE11 is a difficult class. I was a bit apprehensive at first, but once I got into to class I knew that I would be alright. The work load is large, but the work isn’t difficult. The main obstacle is time management. Luckily for me, I have really good time management skills. The writing that we did first semester is not unlike that of Honors Lit & Comp, however, this year the expectations were higher. My time commitment to writing is difficult for me quantify. However, I never felt rushed to right a paper. I used my time wisely and didn’t procrastinate. The same is true of my reading commitment. I never felt overwhelmed

I am doing ok this week, workload is increasing for all of my classes and I finally have a job, as a result I have to manage my time even more critically. I’ve only taken two midterms so far; I made a lot of miniscule mistakes on my calculus midterm, which impacted my grade significantly. I also took my Global Economy midterm today which I felt was particularly easy, although I won’t celebrate until I know my score. Most of my classes are great so far; I feel engaged and don’t need to put much effort into getting myself to study. Unlike my ICS 60 course where I severely lack interest and it has played a role in the scores I have gotten so far on the quizzes, but luckily they are only 10% of my grade. Even though I have been doing well on my
