Personal Narrative-SAT

I can’t believe my first college semester is almost over. Key word is “almost” because the weeks following thanksgiving break will be critical for me. Even though it’s almost over, I must finish strong. I wouldn’t want all my hard work to go to waste. All the A’s that I earned so far must remain A’s for me in order for me to be happy with my academic performance. These next 3 weeks are going to be hectic, but also relaxing.

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

When people tell you that high school would be the best time of your life, you don’t really understand the magnitude of what they’re saying until your time is coming to an end. A lot of people say that you “find yourself” in college. I, however, had the advantage of finding myself in high school. These past six years have been awesome, and I really mean it. I know it might not seem believable for a high school student to enjoy school, but I’m not lying about this stuff. I felt this way even before there was a scholarship to apply for. My mom taught me from a young age to enjoy going to school, and as much stress as it might have caused me over the years, I still loved every second of it. It’s easy to focus on the undesirable parts like sleep

Before I started using Smarthinking, turnitin, and the remaining tools from Capella, I was quite nervous on how my paper will be graded. Then, I became more confident in my writing styles due to the feedback that I received from Smarthinking, turnitin, and most importantly, from Dr. J. The revisions to Unit 4 and Unit 7 assignments have already been implemented in order to improve my final paper for Unit 10. For instance, some of the suggestions that I had to revise were sentence structure, word choice, and grammar & mechanics. I took my time to make revisions about the suggested comments so that my assignments will have clarity and with precision. The feedbacks that I received from Units 4 and 7 have been tremendously very beneficial. As

Sitting on the computer, signing up for the SAT, I envisioned myself taking the standardized test that so many dreaded. I saw myself kicking butt on the exam, exceeding my expectations, and earning myself admission into the college of my choice, which I had not yet decided on. When the day had come to take the test, junior year of high school, I was terrified, not because of the test, but because of the circumstances I now found myself in. School had always been tricky for me – waking up and getting ready in the morning, forcing myself onto the bus, the worst parts. My grades were amazing though, considering my fear of school. I earned mainly A’s in college prep and honors classes.

When I was first hired I was told I would have 30 days from the start day to sign up for benefits. The date by which I had to sign up by was 03/20/16 a Sunday; I tried to get on, on the 03/18/16, but it would not let me. I called the helpline to get my password reset to gain access to the online portal; whenever I received access it said there were no available sessions for enrollment. My manager informed me to come in on Saturday 03/19/16 and he would help me further, he was not able to locate it either. He then informed me to make a benefits appeal, because I had tried to get enrolled before the cutoff date. I have two pictures, to show the information that was displayed and the date. Thank you for your time and

How long was I going to continue to ignore the fact that I desperately needed help with my writing? Reflecting back even in high school it seems I’ve always had the same problems when it came to my writing. Maybe it was the fact that I was too lazy to take the extra time out to write out a rough draft, unless of course it counted towards my grade, or maybe it was the fact that I never paid attention to my grammar because I was always rushing. Either way it goes once I got to college I realized I wasn’t going to be able to skate by with just putting my initial ideas on paper and turning them in, if I really wanted to get a good grade I would have to work for it.

One of the greatest life skills that you can attain is to always double check! I unfortunately had to learn this lesson the hard way. Even though obstacles come up, you can always learn from them. In this certain situation, my brother David and I thought that we did something when in reality we didn't.

The semester is winding down and I am beginning to feel the incredible pressure of final assignments and exams. Where did the time go? It seems like it was only yesterday when I walked into a class filled with a sea of new faces eager to learn and now I am preparing for the final moments of this chapter of my life. It is both exciting and terrifying. Needless to say, this week was a bag of mixed emotions and although it was tough, I managed to find the silver lining of each day.

Everyday I would wake up with excitement, ready to learn and tackle whatever adversities I faced. I developed a hunger for knowledge that allowed me to remain open-minded to learning which continues to shape the scholar I am today. When preparing for the SAT, I struggled; my very first PSAT score was a 980 out of 1520. I was completely embarrassed to say the least, but the foundation set during my formative years inspired me to engage the challenge rather than run from it. I practiced whenever I had downtime, over the weekends, and during summer in an attempt to improve my score. My latest SAT score was 1230 out of 1600. While I almost fell into the trap of comparing myself to goals my peers set for themselves and being embarrassed once again, I took a moment to appreciate my progress. I improved my score by embracing the challenge, accepting guidance, and working for 250 points, all things my former teacher would be proud

It has been a while since we last spoke in Boston. I hope all is well in America. I have just about had enough of China and am excited on coming home in a few weeks.

I have always believed in Christ since I was a little girl. But it wasn’t until I made the decision to follow him when I truly started to have faith and believed. Following him has mold me into the person I am today. Growing up my grandparents and parents set a good example of how living for Christ should look like. They were always involved in church. My grandpa was a deacon for over forty years and my grandma open her house to many people from the church. Both of my parents became a Christian in their teenage years. They both serve in ministry at our local church. My mom sings in the choir and my dad is a deacon. They have hosted a small bible group in our home for over seven years. Seeing my grandparents and parents serve the lord taught

It is a cold, October evening. My house is crazy. There is clothes everywhere, stacks of food for us, and enough Redbox DVDs to last months. My parents have been preparing my siblings and I for this weekend. They write down emergency numbers, not that we would need them, and tell us to maybe give our grandparents a call while they were away. My parents finish packing their suitcases and are now saying their goodbyes to my siblings and I before they leave for California for the weekend. This is the first time we will be left alone without adults. I am so excited. After what seems like an hour of hugging and kissing goodbye, my parents finally leave. I immediately call my friends and they say our plan is on for the weekend. We’ve had this plan

Although you already know this, My SAT score is far from exceptional. What you don’t know is I’ve been preparing myself for this test since before high school. Originally, my school took the ACT, so in middle school, students took the ACT practice exams. Though many students didn’t believe they were significant, I always tried my best, no matter what. In ninth grade, my school changed to the SAT, I then started preparing myself for that instead. Since elementary school, college has been my dream, resulting from my parents never finishing their education. I want to explain the work and dedication I put into these activities. I live twenty minutes from Swartz Creek, I commute there every day, multiple times due to extracurricular activities.

My concentration on my grades has made me an outstanding student in a class of over three-hundred and twenty students. It takes work ethic, dedications, and organization to do projects with deadlines and class work with study times. I was really upset a few months ago when I got to know my class rank. I cried a lot for being number eleven because it was always my dream to be on top ten. “It felt as though she was bleeding- yet it wasn’t blood that spilled out of her, not something that could be effortlessly transfused. Rather she was losing her
