Everybody must have some sort of embarrassing story to tell their children as they get old. These stories just happen to be something that always occurs in each of our lives. Stories like these help us grow and become better people, but they may also help laughter or comfort one in need. Just like in the anecdotes, from 7th grade and Girls. Both of these narratives provide laughter and smiles on faces. However, the accounts provide different humors for the readers.
When in the classroom learning is something that is like a seesaw. The ups and downs come with some classes more than others. The classes that I have found my most ups and downs are English, math, and science. When learning you can not just keep failing by not seeking help. These are the most challenging classes stem from one of these subjects, but there is always a way to make it through with these three steps; finding the situation, assessing it, and seeking help.
I really appreciated watching the documentary about Little Rock Central High School in class this week. “Little Rock Central High School is an accredited comprehensive public high school in Little Rock, Arkansas.” I had never hear about the school before or knew the history behind what happened many
At Fond du Lac High School, in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, there are classes that each grade is required to take. For example, every student is required to take four English classes, one per year. In addition to that, every student is required to take three science, math, and social
In his article, Common Core is Rotten to the Core, Brian Farmer offers facts that support his opposing opinion on the recently implemented education standards called Common Core. Back in 2001, George Bush issued his education policy “No Child Left Behind” because the nation was thought to be at
The Classes that are currently challenging me right now are Algebra B and Modern World History. The Challenges that I face In Algebra B are The Khan assignments that is what basically is bringing down my grade because I do khan But I never finish the assignments so the math is what a little challenging but when I get help I should be good. In history some challenges are just to turn in my work but after all the class Is Good. I plan In Overcoming these challenges by asking help to my teachers and the peers around me. The classes that I am succeeding in are English,Chemistry and Spanish. I do well In these classes because they are classes that I am very skillful at and Specially In spanish since I have experienced spanish since I was Kid and
Fourth through sixth grade, I learned quickly the curriculum was a little more challenging than the first four years of school. There were many changes in school just within these three years. I was learning many new things, things were becoming more challenging. One thing I can say about these years is, I had two of the best teachers anyone could ever ask for. My fourth and sixth grade teacher made me enjoy coming to school. My fourth grade teacher made my fourth grade year one of the best a child could ask for.
The school offered Spanish and or French class which became a turning point. Spanish was important to me thus my choice of class to take was Spanish. I soon became aware that my Spanish was basic and ended up learning a great deal. My teacher taught me there was more to it than just the language. In my Spanish class, I learned a small amount about culture and was assigned a project. The project consisted of picking a country where Spanish is used and to learn about the culture. Also, my teacher taught the class that not every Spanish speaking country speak only Spanish. In addition to Spanish class, it was a requirement to take social studies. However, the social studies course emphasized more on geography than history. The main topics discussed in middle school that had to do with history were about various Acts and treaties. However, for some reason, it was difficult for me to understand the significance of these
This is the second time I've been to college. The first time I dropped out when I was 19. Now I'm 24 waking up on Tuesdays and Thursdays with the same idea in mind. I've never been a morning person because of my narcolepsy. And I've never been a star student. So, whenever I get in predicaments like these I wanna runaway. I want to finish
Out of all the classes in middle school, science was probably the hardest. For some reason I couldn’t wrap my brain around all the concepts as well as I could math. But even then, I understood what I was doing. I put in the needed effort to do well, but I never had to go above. Math and science
I have had many intellectual experiences in my life, but one that particularly stands out to
Chemistry was a difficult class for me. The question to me was, “is it hard or are you just not trying”? It was a mixture of both. I understood nothing the teacher was saying. At the time, I was not fond of things that I didn’t understand or found difficult. My brain will locate attention elsewhere, like my phone or other people. The idea of having to memorize the whole periodic table, I thought was impossible. There were so many numbers involved, I began to think this was math class. Studying does help, but I couldn’t just stare at a guide filled with elements and numbers that I couldn’t even grasp. I got to the point where I totally gave up.
I’m an artificial student who copied those around me. I know I’m not a genius. I’m a child raised by Asian parents, and as the stereotype goes, “Nothing below an A+ is accepted”. Yet that never occurred in my household. I gave my own expectations needed to push myself; however, I
It was a very big challenge for me when I enter high school because I was not used to getting different homework from all these different classes and doing
It was eight fifty-five when I entered the lobby of Drexel Plaza to go to my class: Introduction to Math Analysis 101. I walked to classroom fifteen not expecting anything. I never expect anything anyway in an easy math class required for all nursing students. It may have also been because I am a confirmed nerd. In the school setting, people are divided into groups or categories. Students are characterized by a specific characteristic that defines them into a subgroup of school identity and status. There is the nerd group, the geek squad, the jocks, the dramatics, the clown, the teacher’s pet and the list goes on. Throughout school, I tried my best to not fall into any category. I was well-rounded and did not focus on one specific activity. I just wanted to be a boring, random student that was invisible. Little did I know, however, that I would be placed into a group with one single event.
