Personal Narrative: AP Chemistry

The biggest failure I experienced was back during my Sophomore year. The hardest class in the high school was AP World History in which the requirements were hours of homework a night. Many people tried to convince me not to take the course due to the fact that it is considered the hardest class in the high school. My mom tried her hardest to try and persuade me to take a different class but I felt that it was a requirement for me to take it to prove to the colleges that I was up for the task and that I was prepared to do the work necessary to succeed in college. The course required reading a whole chapter in the text book in three days and take a quiz to prove that we read and understood the topics. This is where I struggled the most because memorizing the chapters and the major topics was very difficult unlike others who could recited the

Throughout my educational experience I noticed the discrepancies with regard to the advantages my peers possessed. In high school as I began exploring what career I wished to pursue, I experienced inferiority as my classmates who’ve taken the ACT three times, visited college campuses, and have had resumes ready since the 6th grade unintentionally mocked my lack of college-readiness. However, my ignorance wasn’t intentional, my parents never reached a high school education in Mexico, they couldn’t pass down SAT tips or acquire internship opportunities for me. I realized it's vital to pick up the pace to avoid being left in the dust akin to countless others in my situation. Henceforth, this statement resonates with my experience, I interpreted

I had just won first place in the oldest, most competitive sewing contest in the country! Something most people could only dream of had suddenly become my reality. So why wasn’t I happy? Why did I feel like I was being whisked off to prepare for the Hunger Games, groomed and fussed over by people who didn’t care about me?

I'VE BEEN SUPER EXCITED FOR THIS TO COME OUT!!! For those who don't know this is one of my anticipated of the year (you can check out my list if you haven't already, I posted it in September). But since this is the last book of the series I don't feel the need to write a very long non-spoiler review. I won't write the reasons why I love this series so much in my Top Ten list if you would like to check that. The series starts out in this futuristic world where a young girl named Cinder catches the eye of Prince Kai, the future empire of the Common Wealth. The only problem is that she's a cyborg, part-human part-robot. For this book, I would give it about a 4/5 stars. I was definitely a great read but it wasn't my favorite book in the series, I honestly felt that Cress was the best book, then

7This is the first year of my existence I'm 30.5 inches tall and weigh roughly 30 pounds. Considering this a time where my cognitivity is at a bare minimum i have no memory of this time just stories told by those around me. You know how most kids don't talk until they are about Two years of age well i was a very quick learner i was spitting out babble and even full sentences before i could walk but that didn't take very long either. Although i seem extravagant i'm truly just a normal kid. I'm from savannah Georgia. I did typical things like cry, poop, pee, etc. I went to disney and all the other places little kids go.

HELLO GUYS!!! I have something veryyyyyyyy important to tell you! After all of my stressing about FAFSA ( Free Application Federal Student Aid) , Colleges, and Transportation, I decided to further my education at Rowan University. It took me a long time to make this decision because this wasn’t my first choice! My first choice/ dream school was LIU Brooklyn ( Long Island University) in Brooklyn, New York. I was recently accepted there and planned on attending there, but their out-of-state tuition was extremely high! Their tuition was $33,000 a year and poor black man like myself, cannot afford it. I really loved LIU because it's a great school, beautiful campus, and most of all, it's in New York. I had my whole planned before it even started,

2:07. Only 38 minutes left of Ms. Leece's AP Physics class. I continued to look straight at the board. I had perfected the appearance of paying close attention to the teacher, but then again that didn't take much.

I dove through the cold currents, feeling my hands create an opening through the water. I closed my aching eyes and let the water submerge me, pulling me in. The sun cast shadows on the floor of the pool, shifting every now and then. I could feel the warmth of the sun as I swam further. I sighed, deeply content.

USF is a big place with a lot of new people to meet, however, the same can be said of my previous high school. The main difference here is that people are more free to be who ever they want to. What excites me is that there so much to learn of how the world works that I have yet to figure out and how USF is a such concentrated culmination of unique people each with different ideas. For example, I learned last week at USF that some people prefer to use the pronoun “they” instead of the conventional “he” or “she” when spoken of. Honestly, its really overwhelming how much I want to do and have to do to accomplish my goals but if I actually plan my time responsibly I do believe I have the ability to do it all. I have also made a few really smart

Once when I was going through high school, it was my senior year and people constantly asked me. What profession I was going to do? I always said I do not know what I am going to do. Then a friend came and said that the A&P mechanics were always hiring. Therefore, my friend and I started talking about planes. I had always been interested in planes; I always wanted to be in the air force, I could not join the air force because of my glasses and medical conditions. When my friend found out that W.A.T.C. was teaching A&P mechanics. He influenced me to join W.A.T.C. to get my license to become an A&P mechanic.

An alternate career path I would choose would be a Toxicologist. The results to my dietary assignment for a nutrition course suggested I consume 12 cups of spinach to meet my body’s vitamin A requirement was ridiculous. As I later learned in a toxicology course, every substance has a certain dose that can be considered “medicine” or “toxin” -- even a common household ingredient like sugar. I developed an interest in the human body’s abilities to absorb, filter, and react to different substances. I became aware of the choices my parents made with their diet as if toxicity levels did not exist. Through educating my family in basic food toxicology, I had the desire to continue to educate and increase awareness of the choices we make in our life.

I am the best candidate for the 2nd shift Team Leader Assembly position. My Associate’s degree in Environmental Science should be a great asset to the position. I have participated on various EHS teams, the hiring committee, and EMRT. I have worked throughout assembly. To name a few I have worked on are RP, M400, ERS, Triple Play, Canopy and Wall Pack. Furthermore, I worked in the ballast area, coil winding and welding. I was given the opportunity to be a temporary coordinator and start up two ERS lines on 2nd shift. After that I realized I wanted more. A coordinator position opened up in the 5th Generation area. I posted for the position and accepted the offer. I have enjoyed this position and realize I have a desire to take on more responsibility

I currently do not have any withdraws or repeated courses. I earned a B in Chemistry 108. Chemistry 108 is for nursing professionals. In high school I took chemistry sophomore year. Starting college I did not have a good background and it took me a little to catch on to what we were doing. However, now in my second quarter I am in Chemistry 103 and have shown significant improvement. I also wanted to mention Sociology 101. I am taking this class online which has proved to be something that I struggled with at first. I currently have not received my final grade for this course, but I expect it to be either a B or a B+. I wanted to address in case it ends up being a B. I considering withdrawing from this course when I realized that taking it

I also have always been intrigued by chemistry and the world around me. Because of that, I decided to take ACP Chemistry C105/C125 and C106/126 my junior year at my high school. Not only could I earn college credit, but I could also satisfy my thirst for learning and understanding more about chemistry. I figured it would also be like any other high school class I had taken previously. That was not the case. It was the hardest class I had ever taken up to that point. All my other homework took me about an hour and a half at most to do but chemistry took me just as long and longer still some nights. Some nights my dad would come into my room at 11:30 telling me to go to bed and I had to tell him I couldn’t because I had to finish this assignment.
