Journal Entries In School

I woke up the next morning in my clothes. I fell asleep, pen in hand. I rose up slowly out of my bed groggily. I gathered up my papers that were scattered all around my bedroom floor.

First of all, mistakes are a clear sign that you are trying new things. It’s always good to try new things because when you do this you are growing. If you never try anything new, how can you improve? How can you change? The simple answer is, “You can’t”. In the Outsiders (written by S.E Hinton and published on 1967) Steve made the mistake of referring to him as "all brawn and no brain" and Darry nearly shattered his jaw. […] Darry had never really gotten

First of all, while some people say that one little mistake ruined their entire life, I say that one little mistake can make your life a hundred times better if you learn from and improve from it. For example, imagine that you got a failing grade on one of your benchmarks, and you just feel completely destroyed, as if the world was going to end. Consequently, you can chose either two things: dwell on your failure for the rest of your life and feel miserable, or study more in order to become stronger in those areas. Therefore, if you want to have a successful

Throughout my first semester, I kept telling myself that I'm gonna get my work done , i'm gonna go to class , but i never kept my word. Instead of going to school I either hung out with friends or I worked. I thought I would be able to work , go to school and still have a social life.

In last week's journal entry I stated that this week PVEPD would be conducting active shooter training, but the training is postponed for now. During this week’s shifts, I finished the putting together the emergency operation plan binders, cleaned the briefing room, and went to the department’s shooting range where I had the opportunity to shoot AR-15 and a Glock 22. I spent both Monday and Tuesday’s shift at the shooting in the basement of the police department. The shooting range which is located underneath the department and can be accessed through the parking garage. There are two rooms in the basement one room is storage for the gun range and the other room is the actually shooting range. Each room requires a special type of key and passcode

College has always been a dream of mine and I am sure for many others it has been too. Well, I am finally here, I can not contain my excitement. So many new experiences and things to learn, it is all becoming so real. This semester I hope to get to know at least one of my professors, go to every single one of my classes without being late, always read the required texts and do all of my outside of class assignments on time. By getting to know one of my professors, I can talk to them and ask questions to see how they were able to get where they are today. After all, they have been in my shoes before and clearly know exactly what it takes to become the successful adult I hope to become. Going to class has already

I am writing this journal for you so that you will always know our heritage and where you ancestors came from. We may be United States citizens but our culture and homeland is elsewhere. Somewhere I am hoping you will one day visit. Here is a little bit of history about our dear homeland. The island of Puerto Rico (formerly Porto Rico) is the most easterly of the Greater Antilles group of the West Indies island chain. Located more than a thousand miles southeast of Miami, Puerto Rico is bounded on the north by the Atlantic Ocean, on the east by the Virgin Passage (which separates it from the Virgin Islands), on the south by the Caribbean Sea, and on the west by the Mona Passage (which separates it from the

You can make mistakes and learn how to correct them and make the situation better. Mistakes are key to discovery whether it may be about science or something new. For the most part, mistakes are usually frowned upon, by your parents, teachers, and your friends. That does not signify mistakes are horrible.

The benefit of recognising and learning from mistakes is that it can increase relationships with colleagues as they will see that you are willing to take responsibility for the mistakes you make and that you are willing to improve not to make the same mistake again. It is important to realise a mistake so that you can find ways to not make the same error. We don’t want to become discouraged if we do something wrong, so it is important that when we do make mistakes, we just take it as an experience of what not to do next time. The best way to learn from a mistake is to ask others and see how others’ dealt with similar problems.

1. Describe what you did. This does not mean that you copy and paste from what you have posted or the assignments you have prepared. You need to describe what you did and how you did it.

Tracking is the grouping of students by perceived academic abilities for instruction. As a pedagogical strategy, tracking was initially introduced into U.S. public schools in the early 1900’s as a way to educate and socialize the broadly changing population of urban, northern cities that swelled from European immigration and poor southern black transplants seeking better opportunities. Societal beliefs of the time regarding distinct division of classes and the requisite assimilation of immigrants into American culture resulted in new educational laws that popularized a system that segregated classrooms into “slow, bright and deficient” (Ansalone, 2010, p. 4) levels of learners. Tracking was viewed and used as a practical strategy in

It is seen as an essential part of learning and using what you learn in class. But when you get loads of class work and have very little time to finish it, then it becomes an unnecessary burden. Yet, sometimes, for me, it is the fact that I procrastinate that prevents me from completing a task. For college student, like myself who is working to pay for college, large amounts of class work usually brings lots of stress and fear of not being able to get good grades in many of my classes. Yet, I have support from my family, friends, and some peers who encourage me to put up a good fight in reaching my goal. I am a student that has gone through so much to get here, where I am. There were times that I had strong feelings that I would never be in college, just because of the negative energy I forced upon myself. Since pre-K, I have had this problem that if I can't do something I just give up, and stop trying. I still have this problem, but I have learned to get a control on it. The biggest problem was graduating from high school. I never thought that I would ever graduate. But I knew, as a student, I should at least try and show my teachers that I am putting effort. And now, I'm in college, studying pre-med, and hoping to become either a pediatrician, or a NFL Doctor.

One example is from the movie “The Dead Poets Society” from the scene of Neil Perry’s death. Just before the scene of Neil’s death he had an argument with his father about his acting and just before they were finished Neil’s father said “sleep on it”. Unfortunately Neil did not sleep witch lead to Neil committing suicide. Neil did not get any sleep meaning he wasn’t thinking clearly and used poor judgment. I think that this all could have been avoided if Neil got some sleep and started fresh in the morning. In my recent life experience I was working on installing software for my computer and experienced issues at the start. I took a break from my computer after having issues with the install and when I returned I was able to finish it. It helps quite a bit when you take a break from a task and pick it up later. I also had an experience in making a few mistakes in training for the Police Explorers. One mistake I made was during crime scene training where I failed to perform my leadership duties. I got overloaded and did not assign my team with their assignments and after I did I learned from that mistake and will not let it happen again. The second mistake I made was getting ahead of myself and not finishing a task correctly. Learning from your mistakes makes you a better person and keeps you from making the same or different mistakes, as I have learned you take the good and you leave the

Everyone, at some point in their life, has made a mistake. Sometimes we get lucky and only falter a little, making it through the problem relatively intact. Other times, we mess up a lot and have to fix what was damaged over a long period of time. However, the same is true for most, if not all cases—those who make the mistake learn from it. Often times, our failures teach us valuable lessons that we only gained because of the experience we gathered after messing up. I have personally achieved a wealth of knowledge and experience just from all of my own little mishaps, and a few major ones.

When we first started walking, we would stumble and fall down within few steps, until we learned how to walk perfectly. Mistakes are like these falls, without which we would never excel at anything. But one thing we should always keep in mind is we should never let these mistakes stop us from continuing the work. Mistakes are lessons for us, which help us grow and reach newer heights. Studies have shown that a person who has committed a mistake is always more determined and focused than a person who hasn’t. Thomas Edison came up light bulb after
