My Favorite Class

This class taught me that I should avoid taking eight-thirty classes if at all possible. I struggled with missing classes due to oversleeping and struggled with staying awake during the classes when I was present. This was due to my poor management of time, balancing ROTC’s morning PT, getting to class, and homework at night. This has taught me that I need to complete work earlier. This class also taught me some more history

I really enjoyed how much freedom we got in the class, every assignment was left open ended, we were allowed to do the assignment on pretty much anything we wanted. Since the assignment topics were up to us I really don’t think I was even left stressing out about an assignment because I had the opportunity to choose a topic that I had interest in.

American History was challenging; I do not believe I had taken as many notes in one class as I did in that one, we worked from bell to bell, it took some serious adjusting. The course was quite intimidating at first, but after a month or so, I grew accustomed to the number of notes we took, and the material we had to study.

My favorite part of the class were the discussions that followed the readings. I enjoyed the different views people had over topic and what they read. In my opinion, “Thirty-Eight Who Saw Murder Didn’t Call Police” by Martin Gansberg brought up the most discussion and was my personal favorite. I and other people in the class could not believe, no one helped Catherine Genovese any of the times the man came back to finish the job of killing.

I loved this attribute of the class because we could always input different ideas and connect with other students in the class since there were ten of us in the classroom. Not only did I love how the class was structured and run, but also the information and material that I learned along the way. Since this class was American Government, I went into it thinking that I would know some of the basics that we learn throughout high school, but I was mistaken. Everything that I learned was completely new to me. Sadly, what I was

Last fall semester is when I started college here at Del Mar. I had only enrolled in three classes, and being how I was only a freshman starting my first semester in a whole new environment, I wanted to make sure I was taking things slow. The class that stood out to me the most, concerning banking education, was my history 1301 class taught

My favorite subject in school is literature and science. The reason why I enjoy literature is because I like reading. Reading is like a whole other world; you can get sucked into your book because it’s so good. The following authors work I enjoy are Patricia C. McKissack, Laurie Haules Anderson, Pam Munoz Ryan and much more. I also enjoy science because I like doing experiments and seeing what would happen. For example, I have experimented with baking soda and vinegar to create a volcanic like reaction.

I found the section on grade retention to be the most interesting because we have discussed in class how the principal is not effective, but it still gets used to this day. In my class growing up, we had a brother and a sister in the same grade

One of my favorite classes I had was social science. My teacher had such compassion in the way she taught, which improved the way how seriously the content of the subject. It was a class about the study of social life in which we learn the reasons of how people act with each other and the problems within our society. The class opened my perspective and helped me looked at society differently. It was a great class about learning why people are the way they are. It showed how privileged I am to be where I am today.

What concepts, principles, or ideas that you have learned, do you think you will remember the most after you leave this class?

There is a multitude of varying things and activities I enjoy. Accordingly, one of my favorite pastimes I partake in is the involvement in trivia. My favorite trivia topic usually relates to the field of history. As a major fan of past events, I find it most engaging when knowing, and answering, a trivia question that directly coincides with history. This connects to my favorite class in high school, which consequently, happens to be the United States History course I completed junior year. The teacher was incredibly knowledgeable in the antiquity of our nation, which in fact, enhanced my overall learning experience. Accordingly, the class that I am most excited for, is enrolling in a future history course detailing ancient Greece. This particular class peaks my interest the most because I have always been fascinated by one of the most advanced and intelligent civilizations for its time. In time, I hope to develop a deeper understanding of history relating to western civilizations in the academic years to come. Included in my many interests and hobbies is the practice of reading one to two books a month. Over the course of high school, I managed to finish a variety of amazing literature pieces. Specifically, one of my favorite works of literature includes the masterpiece constructed by Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet. This play was enthralling to say the least as I found it challenging to stop reading it in and out of the classroom. I do not enjoy watching or playing sports. I

It’s the first day of Junior year and as most other kids my nerves were going crazy. As I walk through the crowded halls to my third class of the day, I can’t help but to feel excited for my first class in what turns out to be my favorite place in my entire school. Room 421 is one of the larger rooms in the technology education wing that contains dozens of pieces of high tech machinery. As I walk in the smell of wood immediately hit my nose and as I look around I can figure out why; every surface of the room was covered in a thin sheet of sawdust. As you walk in your attention is immediately drawn to the large wooden work tables that spanned about ten feet by ten feet each. Soon after examining the beaten and worn surface of the table my eyes started darting around the room at all the machines. I walked around the looking at all the pieces of machinery I had never seen before. The class began but I couldn’t help but to keep looking around the room at all the materials and wondering what I could make with them. A few days later into the school year my teacher Mr. Burton gave us a tour of the areas we were allowed to access and I was amazed once again. Through the year I noticed a few kids working on their own projects in the workshop with out any supervision. They were older and not part of the class. When I asked Mr. Burton what they were doing he told me they were part of a class called technology R&D. This class was a research and development class where students could

I wake up at 7:35 a.m. everyday. I take a shower, after that I get dressed; then I go downstairs and make myself breakfast. I eat and then go back upstairs and brush my teeth. Finally, I leave for school, and I get to my first block, which is seminar at around 8:20. I wait for my friend Erik to get there and then we walk in together.

I was sitting in my favorite seat, in my least favorite class, feeling more uncomfortable than usual. It wasn’t the awful uniform, even though I despised wearing a uniform; it was because it was ‘pick a reader day’ and I was one of the worst readers in class. I never considered myself a “dumb kid.” I knew I was smart in my own way, but that didn’t matter in Miss Kellogg’s second grade English class.

I really enjoyed all different elements of language we learned this year, especially the short story portion. Tim would give all the students a prompt to write a short story on, usually based on the one we read in class. The following day everyone would present their stories, we would talk about the language, analyze the meaning, discuss our views on the prompt. It was very
