Personal Narrative: What I Learned Over Break

The three things I learned this summer was that I just have to read every once In a while and I understand stuff. Reading this summer has improved a lot in my opinion. I can follow along with the professional reader when he reads and I can follow along with my pen when Mcgee reads, so that has improved since the school year. Also that our teacher can talk about things and actually make you think a little bit. Just when he does the little kindergarten impressions, he makes a really good point. He makes you think in depth which I think is a good thing.

Life has tried to put me down (and keep me there) so many times but I just keep getting back up and moving forward. Sometimes, it was a downfall brought about by my own bad decision-making about how to play the hand I was dealt. Other times, I was simply dealt a bad hand. After all I have been through, it is obvious to me that God has a plan for me. At forty years old, I still have no clue exactly what the precise plan is. I may never know the full details of it, but I am just going to keep moving forward in a positive direction and maybe I will discover the full itinerary of what I was born to do. When I have shared bits and pieces of my story with people through the years, I have been told I am inspiring. I have thought a few times about putting my

Physics has been both a challenging and deeply beneficial course. The reason this course has been difficult for me isn’t because it is an AP class. It also isn’t because I am only a sophomore, my age has no real impact in this instance. This class has been difficult for me because it presented several ideas in ways I had never challenged before. It has truly made me question my way of thinking and has opened up my eyes to the world around me. Some of the things I’ve learned in class I’ve already observed before but never knew why. Other things I’ve been blind to and finding out the truth gives me a whole new perspective. I have had to retrain my brain out of its misconception of reality. Learning something entirely new is easy. The real challenge occurs when you have to forget what you thought you knew and replace it with something entirely different.

I can still remember my heart pounding out of my chest. It was my first time in Writing 1, and my nerves were mostly the result of a friend’s advice. Winter quarter, my friend told me about her struggles in her writing class and she advised me not to take Professor Bernstein for Writing because as she said “he is really tough and a very hard grader.” However, I had no other option but to take writing with Professor Bernstein because all the other writing 1 classes conflicted with my schedule. Nevertheless, nine weeks have past since I first stepped foot in Writing 1, and I can certainly say that I have learned more than I ever expected. Yes, it is true, this class has been a challenge like no other, especially for me, being that English is

I've loved writing since I was a young child, especially creative writing. It allows me to express myself, and it seems almost magical to be able to create things simply by writing down a few symbols and twenty-six letters in various ways. I've written many fictional stories of various genres over the years. Unfortunately, while I have done a lot of creative writing, I haven't done as much academic writing. I would like this class to help me become the kind of student who earns A's on her papers by assisting me in becoming more efficient in the overall writing process.

Following commencing college, I would often miss work just to complete my assignments before the due date. Being enrolled in an English class, I quit slacking off and put all my attention into my school work. Therefore, I became responsible and also attempt to complete my tasks. At the time when I did not attend college, nothing actually mattered except for buying new shoes weekly. In my opinion, I was a spoiled brat that had everything handed to me. Being in college, I learned how to manage my money also having a weekly budget. I too began limiting myself from purchasing beer, however, that usually does not work out. As a matter of fact, I learned how to become independent. In fact, I am not such an immense asshole like I used to be.

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.

I learned many new things about topics I wasn't familar with before. I enjoyed seeing the advocacy pieces from others in the class because many people did topics I didn't know much about. Some of the projects I saw were surprising because I had no idea that these things were taking place. After learning all of this, my beliefs about human rights didn't change much, but I have deepened my understanding in what I believe in.

A few weeks ago before first semester ended I needed to do finals so that my grade could go up or retake tests so that we are passing our classes. During the last week of first semester I was really stressed out because I didn’t finish a presentation that needed to be presented that week.

taking notes. Then once I have covered the material for the week I take the practice quizzes online multiple times. I also make flash cards on Quizlet out of the weekly material so I can quiz and drill myself on the material. When exams approach, I reread the materials from the slides and lectures and use the online flashcards I created to study for 3-7 days depending on the subject.

I was 3 years old when I start to studied in a school in San Miguel de Allende with a German educational system much known as Waldorf education, I learned interacting with nature while I was developing some skills, my parents always said that they don´t know exactly at what age I learned to read, write, multiplication, add, subtract, etc… they have never listened from me about a homework or a test.

I can’t forget the way I felt. If I didn’t hurry-up and get higher academic grades, my third college semester would be sour as a lemon. I tried hard not to digest what my professor said. The words he whispered, inside my right ear, sent shockwaves through my veins.

Over the course of these eight weeks I have learned new tips to stay organized, as well as sharpening the skills I have. I would say that is a combination of all the learning activities that I benefited from. It’s been so long since I last went to school, and I am so proud of myself for returning and accomplishing my goals. This class really sets you up for success and gives you the tools necessary to achieve your goals. The most important thing I have learned while taking this course would be the discovering your strengths’ activity. I tend to always look and a completed take and see my mistakes, rather than seeing what I have accomplished. I always look at the positive side of life; but, I am my own worst cretic. By doing this activity I

One year can change everything and you can learn more than you can imagine. I spent my senior year as Mr. Bob Calderone’s apple tutor and there has been a lot of different things that can be taken away with that time. With that, I have learned a lot of useful things that I can apply to everyday life to help other people or even myself. Being in his classroom has shown me how to communicate better with students, or people in general, manage my time to work efficiently, and how to enjoy the little moments of working with my teacher and the students.

My voice arose with the idea that I AM THE PERSON YOU WANT when I finished reading your job description. Firstly, according to my resume, you would find out that I got required educational background and working experience. It is matching well. Secondly, professional training in counseling lets me hold the following skills: in individual meeting warmly, better communication, adhere to work ethic, clearly understanding of people’s problem. Nevertheless, the most important one is how to work as part of a team. If time is allowed, I can hold relaxation practice in our team, in order to help all members manage stress well.
