Personal Narrative: What I Learned At Chief's Academy

During my two last years of high school, i've been in contact with a lot of colleges and universities. Many of which don’t get my attention. Throughout my whole high school years, there was only one college that i wanted to go to, Liberty University. I have heard so many wonderful things about Liberty and what i loved the most was that it was a christian school. Liberty had the number one thing that i am looking for in a college, that is a christian school, but many of my other things that i look for in a college where just not there. I used to live in Florida approximately 11 years ago and let me tell you, it's hard not to miss the sunshine state. Liberty is in Virginia, a state where it doesn't feel like home. When i received a brochure

The Belton high school USMC JROTC program is composed of an extremely diverse group of students from many different backgrounds and ethnicities. This makes taking leadership roles in the program seem challenging. As a leader in our program it is your responsibility to help all members work together in order to fulfill the objectives of the unit. As a new leader in the program this was a daunting task. I was unsure how to use the strengths and weaknesses of such a diverse group, but this was a challenge I was willing to take. As my time in the unit progressed and the challenges of working other cadets began I realized that most of the time having team members with different backgrounds was a good thing. There backgrounds allowed them to develop

Byerly earlier stated. I asked myself the following questions: what can I do to provide a vision, a sense of mission, and instill pride in my organization, What can I do to inspire and motivate my organization, what can I do to foster a command climate that stimulates intellectual growth in my organization, what can I do to help my subordinates develop to their full potential? I can provide a vision by giving my Subordinates progression counseling’s and helping them to remain focused on the steps we must take to reach the end state or the overall goal of our Command. I will work hard and lead by example, proving that our task is not impossible. I will hold my organization in high regard initiating a positive atmosphere for my subordinates and superiors. I will encourage my subordinates to continue their education by taking college courses and bring current event articles to work so we can stay up-to-date with information around the world. I will encourage my subordinates to ask for military courses to better themselves and I will practice mission command.

I have been attending the Key for three years now, and these past three years have been the highlight of my life. In addition, if I didn’t attend this school, my whole life would have unraveled in a negative way. The Key School is a sanctuary for dyslexics; the faculty here teach strategies so you can comprehend practically anything. The Key is a great place for making new friends and discovering unseen talents. My first year attending the Key was in fifth grade; it was extremely difficult to adjust to the Key School environment. My second year in sixth grade was a great year for transitioning to middle school with its complex environment. Finally, this year, seventh grade, is without doubt the best year of them all. In conclusion, the Key School is an amazing place to learn new material, and the Key is the determinator how successful I’m in life.

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

Academy, I have always been significantly behind everyone else. I never really cared until I got to junior high. I was sitting in my math class and my teacher, Mr.Catanese, puts on a coat, a pair of sunglasses, and a Katy Perry song on. I was confused and intrigued, so I paid attention to a grown man singing as if he was a teenage girl. After his song, he got on with the lesson and told us to call him Mr.Cat. I knew what he was teaching, but I just couldn’t care less so I acted like I was paying attention, but truly I was daydreaming about a girl I met earlier That week. I was called on to answer a question on the board. I panicked and quickly looked at the equation. I knew the answer but didn’t answer out of fear or disrespect.

_”Well I guess if you're going to be involved in the school Orchestra you won't really need to worry about taking any performing arts subjects after all then :) It's good to see that you're going to be mentoring other kids I think you'll grow in wisdom in it and the other kids will really benefit from you as well. Your teacher is right you are going to be very busy with school!”_

During the summer, I began a relationship, knowing full well that I might not succeed at making it last due to my fear of commitment and cynical outlook, but I decided I had to go for it because I knew that in order to have a well-rounded life full of different experiences, I had to risk losing control over every emotion I have and have to care about someone else more than my own feelings.

It was a early morning maybe around 3. We had a rugby tournament. I couldn't sleep i was so nervous and scared thinking about everything bad that could happen but I managed to get some sleep. After we ate we headed out to the fields, they weren't so green just patches here and there but it was mostly dirt and dead grass which made me think of how much it would hurt to fall and scrape yourself. The guys in charge told us we had 30 minutes until we started our first game i was so nervous i felt sick. I was the only freshman on the U18 team so that was a lot of pressure on me.

I know that I am a combination of a visual, auditory, writing/reader learner. So I learn best when I write things down, says the words multiple times, rereading things several times, when I interact with other people, and ask questions about the certain subject . One thing that I notice when I learn is that I learn best when I repeat things over and over again. When I recapitulate my brain makes multiple connections to the information and help me remember the information even better.

It was the first day of kindergarten and I remember walking into the classroom feeling like an alien who had disembarked from a spaceship. My mom introduced me in her broken English to the teacher. “Hi everyone, this is Anna Ramashkevich,” the teacher exclaimed. The class erupted into laughter. “Richmanivich, Ramach…” she stuttered, trying to correct herself before accepting defeat and sending me utterly humiliated with my alien-green head and antennas to the ground into a crowd of mocking kindergarteners.

I got a 68% percent on a history test. My teachers, even some of the teachers that I favor dearly, look at me with their mean and vicious eyes. I try to greet them in the nicest and sweetest way as I can but never get the genuine reply I want. I go to some of my classmates to talk to them about my struggle until I realized I don’t have my go-to friend. That was my life 2015 was the year when I finally got into a prestigious private school called Collegiate School, having just transferred from a public school. The common wisdom that people had been that private school’s curriculum was more hectic and more difficult than that of a public school’s. It did not take long for me to notice that there was truth to that saying.

Going into the first grade can be daunting for any six-year old. For some it is their first time going to school; for others they know subjects that they like and do not like. I was a part of the latter, knowing that I prefer more of the maths and sciences, and thought that reading and writing was just too hard. However, one teacher, my first grade one Mr. Wagner, taught me that the English subjects does not have to be that hard, and in fact can be rather fun. He used different material for us to use, including newspaper comics and magazines geared for children, all of which I embraced. His writing assignments were those that were actually fun to do, like writing science fiction stories and even comic books. All of his unconventional methods

I’ve only been able to teach a handful of lessons in my pre-service, but the two core teaching strategies that I have used the most are whole group discussion and student led learning. While teacher led instruction is very important, I find that lessons stick with students better when their voices are being heard and they’re personally delving into the content. I really like when students look at primary materials, establish their own opinions, and then share their thoughts and processes with the rest of the class. This allows students to gain different perspectives and really think through the topic at hand. These strategies work on students’ listening and critical thinking skills which are just as important outside of the classroom as they

English 101 was a challenging course. A constant stream of reading and writing lead to a demanding yet rewarding semester. The variety of texts read and written about provided a plethora of life lessons and demonstrations of values. Now at the end of the course I find myself a better student and writer. The texts themselves were not influential to my growth as a critical reader or college student. Rather, it was my own analysis of the texts that allowed me to consider other perspectives on technology use in the classroom and the importance of revision when it comes to school work.
