When I first decided to take the class I didn't expect much from it, except for writing tons of essays each week.

Since childhood, I have tried my best to find something in which I excelled, a path in life that I could turn into a career choice. However, it had not been as simple as I thought for as I developed, matured and refined my academic skills, my passions changed as I gained a love for the sciences. Initially, I wanted to explore a career in detective work, which I pursued for two years. Then at age fifteen, I had my heart set on pursuing law, primarily because I wanted to help people, especially those who had been faced with injustice. However, as I enrolled and completed more advanced and challenging Science classes, I began to develop a passion for pursuing a career in science and its related field. The constant that remained true, though, is that in every career path I desired, I knew that I wanted to help others.

The past year has been a stressful one. I have been faced with the biggest decisions I have ever had to make. Decisions that mark out my future and essentially set me up for the rest of my life. I had to decide which college to attend, what to major in, what I want to be now that I’m grown up, etc. I also have to worry about how I am going to pay for said education and where I will live. Don’t grow up, kids- it’s not fun.

I started working at as young of an age as I could. Everything costs money, so I had to get a job if I wanted anything. I know better than most people how much hard work can pay off. I have worked as hard as I can at anything I do for that reason.

It was important to know how to control them and use my negative experiences to better myself. I also learned how to set positive goals that will positively benefit me, and to set a deadline to achieve my goals. I feel much more organized and confident after taking this course. I feel like I can face anything and come out of it with a positive take away or goal, and building off every experience will always be a goal now. This class gives great advice for achieving success in all major life goals.

I have learned so much in this class. When we started with English in Unit one and going over misspelled and misused words I felt like I was in school all over again but it was an eye opener. It was very helpful that I got the chance to refresh on Capitalization, verbs, nouns and how to write a proper essay. Reviewing APA writing and in text citations and the proper way to use them in an essay was helpful to me. Sometimes I was a little nervous reading the feedback but it was for my good. I appreciate all the resources and assignments given in this class so that I can learn and be a better writer.

Every day people sit down for an extraneous amount of time researching, testing, more than that developing new idea for technology.
