My education has always been extremely important to me. For most of my time at school I have challenged myself and enjoyed myself. Through my time at school I have found I am completely motivated to work and get things done when I am challenged or when I am interested by what is being taught. I will strive to be one of the best at what I do in college. I believe this mindset I have is created by my want for new knowledge. I have had this mindset for most of my life and it won't change, which I believe
As i learn in SDS class goals need to be specific and achievable. A goal cannot as simple as when you were a kid and wanted to be a super star. As it might be achievable but not quite you really need to be a good singer. My goals are to graduate this year from wenatchee valley college with associate degree in arts and science and with high school diploma, transfer to Eastern washington university, and finally graduate with a master in social work. To complete my goals i first need to know what i
As I look back at my science education, I cannot recall a lot of details about my science classes or my science teachers. I tend to have a love/hate relationship when it comes to science. Science is a subject that did not come easily to me. I had to spend a lot of hours each week studying in order to be able to pass the test for that week. Although I spent many hours studying every week for a test, I found myself not being able to recall the information I had studied once the test was over with.
been able to view teaching theories and strategy first hand. Through my classroom field experience I have had several opportunities to help with different classroom activities such as work with small groups of students, clarifying concepts for individual students, and aiding students with technology. I observed three different classrooms a 3rd and 4th grade class at a private school, a 6th grade science class at a public school, and a 6th grade math class at a public school. Although each of these classrooms
My science journey started around fourth grade. The readings and activities introduced us to science. From what I can remember in fourth grade the teacher had a great balance of between lecturing and activities. My first year of science was not wonderful or bad, rather just ok. One influence that media portrayed about science when I was a child was that liking science was nerdy. That year was filled with little “experiments” here and there, and that to me was ok. However, it seemed that each year
complicated relationship with math and science classes growing up. Science has always fascinated me, especially marine science, but I didn’t always understand it, especially advanced forms of science. Science and Mathematics has had both a positive and negative effect on how I’ve developed academically. Experiences from former teachers and their teaching method had given me both fears and enjoyment out of my learning. My first experience with math or science was when I was in kindergarten. At the

Science and Me The earliest memories I have of science is growing bean sprouts in the second grade. I remember gathering around the window in the classroom to look at the progress our little plants were making. I remember being in awe that an entire plant was eventually going to grow from such a small seed. My teacher talked about how important sunlight and water were to the plants, and we were tasked with drawing the bean sprouts in our notebooks. I remember this activity more clearly than most
My first choice major was Medical Laboratory Science, the medical science track. Not only did I applied to the medical science track, but I also applied to the certification track. The medical science track is what I hoped to get admitted into. The medical science track is competitive but not as competitive as the certification track because the medical science track has no maximum enrollment unlike the certification track. Although the minimum GPA is a 2.50, the average GPA for the 2016 admitted
My greatest failure was how I reacted to getting a “C” in my middle school science class. Growing up my grades weren’t the best in middle school, but for the one year I had to get perfect grades to go to the highschool of my choice I ended up getting a C in my science class and ruining my chances. I had let down my family. Seeing their faces on report card pickup just drop down in disappointed is a miserable sight that flashes back to haunt me at times. Yet my reaction to that failure was the real
