My overall blocking mean score was 5.76. I scored 2.25 in COSB, 5.75 in CCB, and 6.14 in SSSW. My scores show that I’m too private, I don’t like asking for help from my friends, I’m unsociable, and I don’t follow the rules as I’m instructed to do so. Writing is not really one of my weakest subjects, but I don’t have the confidents in my essays. I tend to write my essays when I’m at home since there’s no one looking over my shoulders to judge my writing. I have a major problem with anyone looking over at my essay, right away I turn into this shy and unconfident girl covering my essay so that way they won’t read it. To me I feel like my essays are not good enough for my classmates or teachers to take a look at. I know I should be open to them
When it comes to handing in my papers I am never the most confident person. I dread the due dates of most writing assignments. Every time I feel like I have done some great work of writing the grade is always lower than expected. I got to a point where I just wanted to give up because I felt like my writing was way below par. I could not do anything right; every time I received a paper back it was filled with negative markings. In till I figured out something I could be proud of. I put my heart in to everyone of my papers. College is about finding your passion and thinking outside of the box. I always chose the most difficult things by going outside the norm to pick my own topic. I want to be different and write about stuff that was dear to me and stuff I could get personal about. Even though my passion did not always transaction into the grades I wanted, I still am proud that I stood up for writing for passion and not for a grade. Every time I get my paper back I feel that if I would have written about one of the chosen topics I would have did better. I did not let that get to me though I kept writing about the topics I had a motive to write about. At least I have that to look back on and
Our study validates that the Perioperative Risk Assessment Score using patient’s characteristics and urgency of the surgical procedure can reliably predict postoperative mortality. In addition, we show that despite a good prediction of mortality, the ASA score has a large range of intervariability that may limit its use as shown in figure 4.
I am constantly writing. I write to reduce anxiety, to plan out my day, to jot down a hilarious joke (probably made by me) that I don’t want to forget later. Slowly, I am penning my own musical and I have written several short stories as well (which will be hidden in my room until my untimely death). One may assume that due to my love of creative writing I’m a skilled essayist and all of my former English teachers adored me. Unfortunately, that was not the case. Throughout my high school career not only did my papers never did pass an AP rubric they received harsh critiques as well. This ultimately discouraged my passion for writing.
The majority of them were in my English classes and a few essays for other classes, which takes only a few days to compose. I mainly took standard English classes and one honors throughout high school. The grades I've received from my writings and also for the class are mainly B's and a few A's, nevertheless, I would like to receive an A in this class. At this point, you might be frowning and begin to question my previous statement. How could someone who only worked hard enough just to receive a B's will receive an A in this class? I am also not a very experienced writer as I've established earlier. I also fully understand that this course will be more challenging than any of my previous English classes, hence I am having an anxiety attack while writing this essay, nevertheless I truly want to become a better writer. A good writing skill is one of the keys to become successful. You will be required to be able to intellectually express yourself to
I spoke. I used good grammer and lawyer terms. I deserve a _5_ for my Social Studies scores for many reasons. As you can see, I deserve a decent score in Language Arts. I also deserve a good score in Social Studies. Because i used some terms such as the do you swear to tell the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth. I used good grammar and i muttered a little bit. I also read a little bit ahead of time.
English is my second language and I have been trying to learn it this past 4 years. I am getting better at it, but sometimes it is difficult for me to express myself. I understand English almost perfectly, but when it comes to an essay it takes me time to think what I am going to write. When I started the Semester I was taking 4 classes, History 1301, Math 0312, English 1301 and Psychology 2301. I had a few problems with my History class my teacher was very strict with our essay quizzes. He made us read this long articles, and that was not the problem because I understood them, but then during class we had to write an essay quiz. I was getting very low grades on my essays, and that was really stressing because I am still learning English, and I try to make my essays look presentable, but sometimes it is hard for me to write perfect essays in class. However, that is not an excuse I am aware that I need to spend more time practicing to get better at them. As a result, I failed the class, and I was planning to take it again during spring, but at the end of the
“Just one more mile”. These words resonated throughout the confines of my mind, antagonistic to a conscience that only screamed for me to stop. Despite the cold winter air that promised only a world of agony in continuing my endeavor, my conviction to improve my physical endurance for the upcoming wrestling season far outweighed my fear of physical pain. With this conviction, I ran the dreaded sixth mile of my daily workout regimen. Although the strength training derived only from lifting weights at a gym would be ideal in conditioning my body for the wrestling season, gym membership was not so readily available for an individual like me, who came from a modest family of humble socioeconomic background that could not afford such a luxury. In spite
Starting with in-class-essays, my overall grades have not necessarily shown how much I have improved as a writer. Taking a closer look at the Emerson essay, I was gone for the initial
For me personally, I have never reflected on my STAR Reader results as I have this year. I seemed to be more consistent than in the past and because of this I can give an accurate explanation for my scores. My fall score was an 11.4 which I was happy with, but I was not necessarily too surprised. I really wanted to see if I could show some improvement next time I took it or at least not show a loss in comprehension like in previous years. My winter score was an 11.8 which, to my satisfaction, was higher than my previous score. My spring score was where I really made some reflection. Upon getting the same exact score as in the winter (an 11.8), I thought about why I may not have improved but earlier I had. At first is was difficult to see a
During the last month of the course, I was given the opportunity to go back over my essays and revise them. I was also asked to make a digital portfolio to display my final drafts. After careful review of the essays and feedback from my instructor, I chose to rewrite the essays. I knew that my entire class could see the work I had done, once the essays were posted into my portfolio. This pushed me to rewrite my essays to the best of my ability. When I completed the essays, I felt good about the work that I had done and I was more confident about my writing ability. I then began to work on my portfolio that would display my journey through
I believe it is important for any student who wants to do their best in a class to take a moment to evaluate their own work to determine the rate their writing is progressing and how they can continue to advance their writing. When I looked through my own work I asked myself “what have I learned this semester?” and “what do I still need to learn in order to improve my writing?”. Answering both these questions will help me with my last step of my self-evaluation, developing a plan to learn new skills.
Self assessment is a process in which you examine yourself in attempt to discover and learn more about yourself. Your likes, dislikes, behaviors, attitudes and habits can be found during this process. You can use the discoveries to your advantage by accepting or changing strengths and weaknesses. I plan on using this course to enhance my personal skills to become a better student and find success in earning my Bachelor of Arts degree at Ashford University in Social Science. Self Assessment is the first step in my successful future.
The question, "How good are you?" can be an extremely provocative one. Therefore, it may necessitate the answering of several other questions, prior to answering this one. Some probable questions may be: What is meant by the word “good”? According to whose standards is "good" measured? Is “good” rated in terms of degrees? How can anyone know the answer to that question? In other words, before one attempts to answer that question, more information would be needed. Hence, this writing is an attempt to explore the information necessary to help one answer the question, "How good are you? In this discussion, we will explore the following topics: (1) Knowing what is good, (2) Doing what is good, and (3) Becoming what is good. As we progress through this discussion, introspection may be helpful. In order to acquire the greatest benefit from this discussion, it might be helpful for us to do a little introspection and rate ourselves on a mental continuum to determine where we stand.
Over the course, I have learned that all people are unique and have their own personal traits and qualities. One person does not just simply fall into one category, but various categories. What is beautiful about all of us is that we all have diverse personalities, traits and qualities. I have learned that we should be proud of and embrace these unique qualities of ours.
People’s self-esteem either high or low is shaped by their life experiences. I believe a person’s self-esteem begins to take shape at an early age, with their parents being a major influence. Kind, positive, knowledgeable and caring parents help children create a positive self-image. Parents who do not feel good about themselves or others, sometimes take it out on their childern by belittling them or discouraging them. This leads the child down a path of self-doubt and eventually given the right circumstances a lower self-esteem.
