In the early stages of my life I was a very quiet individual. Even though I was very quiet I liked to learn and I was very observant. I started school at Dannelly Elementary located in Montgomery, Alabama. My first year of school (Kindergarten) I did a fantastic job and in my teacher’s words “on a different level than the other kids”. I excelled over the past few years and some people have noticed. A little time has passed and I am in the third grade now in class doing my work. The class was quiet and suddenly the intercom came on and someone from the office said, “Please send Cameron Brisbon to the office immediately.” At this time, I began to be a little anxious, because I was not a bad student and did not go to the office often. My classmates made me nervous because as I headed out of the class to go to the office, I could hear them saying “ooo what did you do?” I said “I did not do anything”, I tried to sound convincing but I was terrified. My heart began to beat really fast, and my hands were shaking. I felt a chill come over my body. It was almost like an anxiety attack that came over me that day. I walked as slow as possible. When I reached the office, a woman was waiting on me. She introduced herself as Ms. Terry. Ms. Terry had fiery red hair and she was about average height. She also did not smile a lot which was very frightening to me because I was not used to that. I knew of her because I would hear her yell a lot to other students. She was a QUEST
One day, I was walking home from the bus stop. It was the last day of school, but the first day of summer break. My mind was bursting of happiness since the first day of summer was starting and school was over until September. But I wasn’t fully happy because one of my good friends was moving. I WAS going to run home to play on my Playstation 4, NBA 2K17, but I decided to say goodbye to him. My last days of school are usually terrible but this year, something was different. I think that I was a little smarter than I was all the other years. Either I got hurt or I just had bad luck. Let me tell you the worst thing that has ever happen to me, which I’m currently laughing back at it as me being the dumbest kid that day. Let me start from
When I arrived here at college I was extremely disappointed with the selection of food here in the cafeteria. I frequently found myself eating only hamburgers and pizza over and over again, simply because I did not like the other choices. About four months into the school year I had do go to the doctor for a virus and when the nurse weighed me I was a little surprised by what I saw. I had gained a little over ten pounds, close enough to what some refer to as the “Freshman 15.” It is a common fear among college students that they are going to gain fifteen pounds during the course of adjusting to college life. However experts have stated that the idea of the so called “Freshman 15,” is not that accurate. Every college student is obviously
The transition from middle school to high school can be very large. Not only are you in an entirely new situation from a social perspective, you are also in an entirely new academic situation. As a freshman at a Catholic high school, your teachers are going to expect that you produce your best work at all times. You will be held to very high academic standards, and more work is going to be expected of you than it was in middle school. Here are a few study tips to help you make it through your first few months of high school.
How have I changed/ Grown as a learner over my four years in high school?
Sophomore year, I joined my High School's division of Kiwanis Key Club. The club prided itself with their devotion to community service. I thought that the club would be a great vehicle for me to assist my community while creating and expanding my relationships. However, I was greatly disappointed in the club my Sophomore year. There appeared to be little leadership present, so hardly any community service successfully took place. I made it my goal to gain a leadership position and turn the club around. Junior year, I was elected as President of the club and was re-elected to the position my Senior year.
The first quarter is always the hardest for me, this one especially as I work a lot after school. Being senior year I was looking to take an easy route, but instead I took hard classes to keep challenging myself; looking back now I should have taken the easy route. The biggest struggle has been finding time to work in homework after work, getting my work in on time, and I’m looking to improve my quality of work for the next quarter.
Junior year was one of the best years of high school, but also one of the most
It was a very hot sunny morning, as I walked in the crowded, small hallway of Conquering Word Christian Academy, I had a very mean facial expression my face. I slowly walked in the class and took my seat in the small, dirty brown desk. As class was about to begin, I saw people looking at me with very intense eyes, in which I then turned around and asked everyone what they were looking at with an angry tone of voice. My
This summer, I worked at a television production company in the development department. I applied to the internship very last minute and was hired just a couple of days after applying. Before going into my first day of work, I memorized the company’s website, trying to gather as much information as I could from it. I was excited to learn that the development department was female lead and, according to the website, composed of mostly women. In fact, the majority of the leadership positions at the company were occupied by women. Both my family and I were happy and pleasantly surprised that I would be getting the opportunity to work in such a rare entertainment environment where it seemed that appeared be equally men and women.
I’m 19 years old, fresh out of high school and I recently got a job at my old high school. I work out of the lower level of my school as a kind of computer technician. It can be kinda messy and unorganized down there, but there is a nice two-person office. It has two nice big desks and a giant array of computer monitors on the wall. Also, there is that all so satisfying air conditioning, a luxury the students and teachers can not enjoy. I got the job because three of my old computer teachers flat-out adored me. I could consider them more of a friend than teachers. It has been great. Until this incident that happened a week ago.
I would like to start this letter off by thanking you for a wonderful and enlightening summer session! This was the first summer session I have ever taken and I was quite concerned being unfamiliar with taking a class at this time of the year, with such a busy schedule, how it was going to go. I had a great time in your class and can say I enjoy writing more because of your class. Throughout this class I have learned many things. I have learned that writing is not just a boring skill or assignment, but it is an art. In the same way, I learned that as a writer it is important to find a topic you really enjoy writing about, because, it makes the process easier and more enjoyable. In addition, it is important that your writing makes sense not only to you, but also to your audience. I now know how important it is to double check for grammar errors to get your point across, as well as, to help sentences flow together with ease.
In my junior year of high school (2014-2015), three months before summer vacation. On a typical windy day in Las Vegas was passing by. Periods one, two and three had passed. The bell was about to ring for students to be in their fourth period. Two minutes pass and the bell rings. In room of two hundred in Durango High School, the students were talking. Mr. L, the teacher in charge, was in the teachers room to make copies for the assignment of that day's lecture. It didn't take more than five minutes before he returned and yelled “get into your seats!” Each student ran to get to their seats to begin class. He started class my informing the students that hospitals wanted a few volunteers. That if we were interested, to grab a copy of the requirements needed and to go online to print the application. Around this time, is when I did not know what to do with my life. Which I ended zoning out and found that he had started lecture moments later. When the bell rings,
In this first unit of The First Days of School, Harry Wong presents three characteristics of an effective teacher. The three characteristics are: has good classroom management skills, teaches for mastery, and has positive expectations for student success.
My first year of high school was filled with adventures and difficulties throughout the years. Comparing to my other years, I took challenges, such as taking on sports while finding the time for my school works and achieving my goals. However, I was able to find the way and fight through my freshman year.
The alarm clock buzzed loudly beside my ear. Feeling like a gong that was being hit repeatedly was placed right beside my head. I sluggishly pulled myself out of my bed and dragged myself to my closet. The words, first day of school moaned ghastly in my head. Summer was uneventful and school was just going to be hell. I picked out an old, worn out flannel and a pair of jeans to wear. Not rushing at all, I struggled to put the raggedy clothes on. They smelt like horrendous lies and rumors. Exactly what this state and my school are built on.
