My Greatest Accomplishment Report

There is no other place that would make me work this hard at everything I do, but now I know I could do it. Before being an MEHS student, I relied in only my grades, but getting those good grades with such simplicity was bringing me nowhere. After hearing about Mt. Edgecumbe I was scared that I could not make it up there. After two years of being a student there, I understand that succeeding at Mt. Edgecumbe is no simple task, but it could be done by someone who truly give it everything they have. Although this would be one of he most streaneus accomplishments I had ever achieved, I know I that I could do it if given the

What's mine is yours. Having lived a year in a student hostel I understood this phrase was the best to describe my first year student life. We shared everything: all of bright spots, all of difficult moments, all of the books and all of the cakes. My roommates are my best friends now and I trust them as I would myself. I believe amazing adventures and close friendship are waiting for us too! Also I believe, my dear roommate, you’ll get at least one new hobby living with me. I promise I’ll share to you with my frenzy for mountains. Oh, that’s really amazing! I’m a participant of the university tourist all around team(sports tourism university team member) and every weekend we get to go to incredibly picturesque places of Zailiyskiy Alatau.

Our team practice everyday for 2 hours and our record was 23-1. We were the first team ever to win in our age division to ever win for St.Mary’s. We had a hard time in the beginning of the season. One of our best players injured her knee. She was running towards the loose ball and her knee twisted. She was out for the rest of the season. Looking back on it made me better because I learned how hard you to to practice or try to achieve your goal.

This paper will address the best plan for helping Joe, an 8 year old 2nd grader meet the goals designed for him by his teacher. Joe receives Title 1 reading tutoring and I will focus on strategies for helping Joe meet each of his goals. Joe has the ability to meet each of the three goals set for him, but it will take time, consistency and some adjustments from his teachers and himself.

Beginning my elementary school career, I attended Indianapolis Public Schools. When I entered school, Kindergarten was only half days, and we were working on materials such as, learning our alphabet and counting to 100. The workload was a far cry from the addition, subtraction, early reading skills, and science that my daughter is learning in kindergarten this year. Following the first grade I left the Indianapolis Public School System and entered into a new school system. Embarking on second grade we started working on the skills that would help us read proficiently. I was absolutely struggling, but I was also so distrustful that I didn’t dare to say anything to my teacher. Thankfully, even without me saying anything to her, my teacher noticed

It was my mother who discovered that Eric did not know how to add or subtract, despite being in 3rd grade. He had been enrolled and withdrawn from four schools in just his third grade year, and ended up in my brother’s classroom. My mother became the volunteer who helped Eric with his school work when she found out he wasn’t receiving any help, causing me to question the level of support found in our community. The truth of the matter is that Eric is not the only child that needs help in and beyond my brother’s classroom. Eric is a quick and competitive learner with much potential; he is now on the speed skate team and is improving his swimming skills, thanks to my mother’s efforts. Because of my brother’s friend, my desire to help people has progressed to the point in which I have decided to take action myself by creating a group at school to volunteer to tutor English Language Learners at the elementary schools in our

My agency volunteer work takes place at Busch Middle School of Character, it is through Urban Future which offers after school tutoring, mentoring, transportation, and many other opportunities for the student’s education to be enriched. Busch Middle School typically enrolls around 300-400 6th, 7th, and 8th graders each year. Urban future relays mainly on volunteers to assist with the after school services they provide as well as project mangers that are in charge of running the programs at Busch Middle School. My volunteer work included tutoring 6th, 7th, and 8th graders in the resource lab, during this time the students worked on their reading skills in a program called Achieve3000. Achieve3000 is a program that steadily increases students’ ability to read, comprehend, apply, and communicate information derived from complex text. My role in the resource lab was to make sure every student was understanding the material, and if not, to sit down one on one with a student to help them with their current Achieve3000 lesson. In the resource lab, each student did their very best to engage themselves in the program and expand their level of knowledge.

I would like to participate in the Immokalee Readers program to help young children reach their highest academic potential. It will help me to develop many college and career readiness skills. Being a tutor will help me to further my communication and collaboration skills; Communicating with the kids will help me to help them to meet their goals in school. The Immokalee Readers program will open up opportunities for me to start focusing on my pathway to success. I will be able to help a child develop basic study habits and homework strategies that he or she can use in higher education. By using a student’s strength to approach a strategy for their difficulties, it will help the student to feel less stressed about the subject. As a tutor I

When assigned my first essay, “My Greatest Accomplishment,” I took time to brainstorm different ideas that defined me. The accomplishment that stood out the most to me was qualifying for State Track in four events on a sprained ankle. While writing this essay, I felt like a baby learning how to walk. My writing was unsteady and I took a few tumbles trying to get the paragraphs to flow. This reminded me of trying to run on my sprained ankle at the State-qualifying meet. However, like I finished the paper, I finished my events with qualifying times. I knew the essay would prove difficult, but I grew hopeful while writing because I knew I had numerous

One year ago, I was assigned a student who was reading at a 2nd-grade level. This was the Human Service part of the job that I had been waiting for. Today, this student has improved not only in his reading, but he is doing algebra. This makes my heart rejoice to see his progress. He is 59 years old and has set a goal is to receive his high school diploma.

To begin, this experience was amazing. I learned so much about children’s literacy, and I even saw growth in the 4 weeks I worked with my student, which also made this experience rewarding. I believe this tutoring experience helped me as a future teacher, but also helped the student I was tutoring. At the beginning of the program the student struggles greatly with fluency, all the aspects of it. The student stumbled over words, read words that were not there, had trouble “thinking out” words, and read with no prosody. The first week was spent getting to know the child and what troubles the child faced when reading. Once the second week came around we worked on a phonics review of beginning and ending blends. The student seemed to know the beginning blends but struggled with the ending blends so we spent

A lot of parents would love to get their child the help they need for school, or extra help to get ahead if needed. Today there are a lot of tutoring programs out here, but all of them are not free. So, where does that leave the children and the parents who cannot afford these programs? It can leave that child at a lost because that child is not getting that extra help to become successful. Free tutoring is a great thing for several reasons. At the HOPE Academy they offer free tutoring for students who may cannot afford tutoring and are behind in their class. HOPE academy is making a differences in their kid’s lives because it is not just tutoring at the end of the day.

Experience: My proudest accomplishment was the time I was volunteering at the hospital in the ER neuro department. A stroke patient came in and after I finished doing my scope of the analysis on the patient the family called me over and they had a few questions and seemed to be worried. I told them what the doctors had described and helped console them and that made the whole family feel much better. I still feel proud for+ doing this because I could understand their pain and I wanted to provide them comfort as seeing your loved ones in pain is a very hard thing to endure. It made me feel very happy knowing that they were able to experience some relief.

My greatest accomplishment as a leader would be leading younger kids in the right direction. I get the privilege every Sunday to serve in Lifekids and lead people to become fully devoted followers of Christ. The joy and excitement I get out of seeing these kids grow, learn and love one another is priceless.

Throughout my life, I feel like I have been pretty successful. I have been able to accomplish some of my personal goals, while both being able to give back to my community and plan for my future. I hope that my with the success I have had already, will help me have an even more successful life in the future.
