Personal Narrative: Double Core Classes

2014 Fall Semester in the begining was going pretty good i was excited to began school , adapting to the new college life, and interacting with friends and new people. I was attending all my classes on time , studying , and completing the required assigments that needed to be done. I also was working a full-time at Gensis Logistics it wasnt easy trying to manage my schedule , but i tried to make it work the best i could. MTE 1 , 3 , and SDV was a breeze to me I was completing my assigments , studying , and understanding the information that was given to me. Now on the otherhand ENG wasn't hard for me i just didnt understand the content that was teached by the teacher. English was always the strongest subject for me so i couldnt understand why it was such a problem in college , maybe it was the teacher and her teaching methods. I never understood any information that was given it seemed to me like our class was always off topic one class period we would talk english, and then another class period we would talk about something else besides english. Then she assigned papers and assigments that was unfamilar to me it seem like everytime she assigned the class papers

Hi Class, last week was tough for me as I was pretty sick. I have not updated the content that much.

At the beginning of this Jumpstart program, I thought I was going to be wasting my time in some English remedial course like I did in high school. I was thinking to myself that it was going to be a class where I come in and here the teacher talks about how to read and write properly. Well, I thought wrong. This class has helped me identify my struggles as a reader and writer. I have learned certain methods to help me grow as a stronger academic student throughout the years I will be spending at UTRGV.

This semester has been a challenge for me. Before, I arrived in this class I didn’t know certain things. I never been a good write but this class has pushed me to work harder. I have always been good at speaking my point out verbally, instead of writing it out.. I improved on expanding my paragraphs, staying on topic, and I’m still need working on style and voice.

Dixie: Amanda, I liked that once the sign was changed that people really helped the man out more. I totally believe that no one even read the sign before the lady changed. I think that you have a good point about stopping and think before we write something and making sure it sounds the best. I think that this class will really benefit me. What are you hoping to learn from this class?

Out of an above-average university, I expect, practically, the world, because my parents, friends and family have all brainwashed me into believing that college is this concoction made of people, money and life lessons. From my highest expectation; state of the art education—I mean education at it's finest. I'm not being sarcastic when I say that, either. It's college, therefore what I learn here has to be better than all fourteen years of grade school put together, right? From my lowest expectation; high-rate loans. I hear loans are deadly if it leaves too much debt behind, so consequently I'm working to gain a plethora of scholarships. I expect a wide range of diversity—some flavor if you will—because it's nice to see other cultures come

I just want to profusely apologize for just now turning in my final paper. I wrote it after our meeting and finished it early morning Tuesday, but I stupidly did not turn it in because I wanted to revise it again Friday. However, my final for orgo ran really late and I found myself running to catch my bus to New York. In my absentmindedness and lack of sleep, I completely forgot I had not turned it in and left, leaving my laptop at home. I realized I did not turn it in pretty quickly, but there was not much I could do since I was scheduled to come back until today. I take complete responsibility for my lack of prudence and hope it can still be accepted.

The day started out as a usual one for the 6-year-old elementary student I was. Me and my best friend Aaron were known for being class clowns and always having the class laughing, one day we were both play fighting like we were always doing except this time thing took a turn a turn for the worst. While me and Aaron were play fighting I ended slapping him and he would end up pushing me, at the time I did not see a piece of paper laying right next to my foot. As the class would proceed to watch us act like dummies I then ended up slipping on the piece of paper resulting in me breaking my middle finger. I used my hand to try and brace my fall but that did not end to well for me, while lying on the ground with my finger disturbingly pointing the

“Aw man” Mrs. Longs class yells as Mrs.Mitchells class loses. We were 5 minutes into our tug-a-war game and we were up next. “Up next Mrs. Longs and Mrs. Lawson’s class” says Coach Carver. As we pull and pull finally Mrs. Lawson’s class is starting to give but then the rope jerks and then…

I forgot the extra credit essay, this is a great way to start my day, So I did it on the bus of course, and so I can turn it in on time. I couldn't think of anything so I put down “balloons. There might be balloons.” and because I was on the bus my handwriting was terrible. Akimi and I went into the classroom as normal and sat down. Our teacher, Mrs. Cameron, started talking and was collecting our essays. She came to me and look at mine, she was not impressed at all. She read it aloud which was just great, and she also reminded me about my brother and how he was able to write essays. She collected the essays then said the worst thing she could have possible said “ Mr. Luigi Lemoncello himself will be the final judge.” “ Of what? “ Your library

The current me right now is just your average high school male, but if for the sake of contempt, you were to compose a story with me in the lead role it would certainly be quite a tragic one. If you were to compare the current me to the plump elementary brat many years ago, obviously I’ve transformed due to the replacement of cells and puberty, but that would be a physical change. However, if you were to contrast my former and current mental state, it would be extraordinarily disparate.

There are many small things that you learn in a classroom that you do not think will help you in any way. However, things that you first learned in the classroom will be useful when you are in conversations or you are arguing a certain point. An example is the debate activity we did in class which many people took lightly and they really did not appreciate. I will be addressing 3 things I have learned this year and how they are useful when it comes to the real world and the classroom.

Hi Prof. I was worried that if I changed to the new curriculum I would have to take additional courses. Which, I didn't want to do. If you can review what a change to the new curriculum would mean for me that would be appreciated. I had MGT 451 planned for the summer and it would meet my liberal arts requirement. But wouldn't I be forced to take HIM435 Healthcare Data Analytics and Information Governance, as well because it is part of the new curriculum?

My precalculus class was a place where not only math lessons took place, but life lessons as well. The math course I was taking for my junior year consisted of learning algebra 2 in the first semester and pre-calc in the second. Math had always been smooth sailing for me during grammar school and the first two years of high school. I rarely felt thet need to study for math and still passed my tests and quizzes. That was the case unil second semester came along. My smooth sailing math boat hit an iceberg just like the titanic. I had done poorly on a math quiz. At that moment I realized that you only out what you put in. Precalculus was not as easy as I thought it was going to be. I aget m actually glad that I did not do so well on that quiz

In the first semester of my college class I have learned a lot about myself. I am a very social person who loves being friendly and trustworthy. Also on the Maslow Hierarchy of Needs, I am at Belongingness and love needs. I always have wanted to know why I liked to help people out so much when I didn’t have anything myself.
