Pre-Calculus Personal Statement

I think it is safe to say math has always been a passion of mine. I remember learning to count to 1000 in first grade. When I was finally able to do it without any help, it was like swimming for the first time, eating the ripe tomatoes I grew myself, or putting together a new song on the guitar. The feeling of accomplishment cannot be recreated. As we get older, this feeling becomes more difficult to achieve. This only increases my motivation and determination to learn something new. AP calculus has been a roller coaster of learning. Despite the struggle and rigor, I learned valuable skills that will help me in my future aspirations. Taking the AP Calculus exam gave me a rush of accomplishment. I have built a knowledge base because I am constantly

I am currently a year 11 students at Beauchamp College. I believe myself to be a dedicated, self-motivated as well as a confident person. I can complete tasks on my own but I can also work well as part of a team. More over I cope extremely well under pressure and always aspire to do everything to the best of my ability. Whilst I have clear objectives, I also take in advice and use it to better my self as a person.

I am determined to pursue a degree on mathematics, specifically, discrete mathematics. For discrete math and combinatorics and a range of allied fields, Rutgers is one of a small number of best institutions in the world (not just the U.S.).  Since that is my main interest at this time, why do I want to transfer away from such a world center of discrete math?

You might be wondering, "Wow! Stacy must be studious!" I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but you are wrong. Although it is true that in the picture I'm seen studying or doing my homework, in reality I'm not actually the type of person who is outstanding student, or someone with a lot of awards. But there is, in fact, one subject I am good at (and one subject I actually only care about), and that is math.

How to best prepare for a Calculus/Physics test? Many college professors would recommend students to practice a variety of challenging problems. However, those problems often require students to use logical thinking and be able to apply multiple concepts to solve, and each can take from a couple minutes to an hour. Not many students can dedicate all of their time to one course, especially if they have other courses’ assignments as well. One good thing, at Everett Community College, students can get help with homework and prepare for their test in the Annex tutoring center, a center that is specifically for advanced Mathematics and Physics. If there’s one thing that prevents students from getting the maximum benefits from the center is that

Last year, I also challenged myself to improve my Calculus grade. Through a distance learning program at UCLA, I took a Business Calculus course, in which I scored an ‘A’.

I am interested in this program because it'll help me career wise and help me with personal growth. After I graduate high school I am planning on following the pre-med track as a major and this program would help me get a sense of what its going to be like as a pre-med student prior to me going to a college or universities, if I join their medical science track. In addition, although I want to study pre-medicine and science I haven't had much opportunities to study the different branches of sciences outside my school's curriculum, which is usual regents based and they only have 1 AP science class, AP environmental science which isn't the field I am interested in. Furthermore, I would like to join the program because they also focus on helping

One of the major facets in my pursuit of a career in medicine is that I have not followed a traditional pre-med undergraduate curriculum. Though I initially did not have a significant aptitude for physics, I harbored an inherent curiosity of the subject, and have taken it upon myself to spend my undergraduate education focused on it. The journey ahead was trying, but one that has made me a stronger individual.

This class will require you to put some effort in, so habits such as procrastination and not studying will drop your grade. I would recommend that you turn in all your assignments and do well in your tests early on. As time goes on, the work will become more complex. This will make it harder to do as well in tests, and some may see a slight decline in their grade. If your grade was already high, then a slight decline will not affect your grade unless your grade was already low to begin with. In the beginning of the school year you should also look for different resources that you can use when you get stuck. This way, if you did not understand something in the lecture or book, you can always turn to another place. If you need to, buy a study book for calculus. Personally, I did not used a study book, but I had friends who did and they did used them often because it helped them. Websites such as Shmoop, Khan academy, and Hippocampus should be familiar with you. In these websites, they explain Calculus through different methods, so finding one that suits you should be no

A bright red 68 loomed at the top of my test, taunting me. I stared at the number, hubbub erupting in the class around me, attempting to dissect what went wrong. The night before I had meticulously studied my notes and done countless practice problems, analyzing how to properly do them. Had I reviewed the wrong material? What had gone wrong?

Last year as a junior, my AP Calculus class and I received the opportunity to paint a mural on a wall to demonstrate our hard work throughout the year. The one catch, however, was we had to design and paint it all within fifteen days. My class and I were very motivated and began work as soon as possible. We brainstormed ideas for the design of the mural to incorporate as many calculus concepts as possible while also combining it with hidden messages that had special meaning to our class. At the same time, our goal was to make the mural fun and appealing to all by-passers. Now it was time to take our concepts, and begin the process of painting the mural. Initially, we had roughly seventeen students who could paint and help out but that number

I have always been capable of grasping new ideas quickly, and so my academic career has been relatively smooth sailing for me. At least, until Calculus BC. This class is unlike any other I have taken; the level of difficulty I have found myself presented with is so unbelievably overwhelming for a person who has not felt truly challenged in years. For me to go from the comfort of the soft stars to the harsh reality of failing an exam was inconceivable. I have never felt more out of my comfort zone, and yet, at the same time, I have never felt more compelled to succeed.

This is Mary McLeod Bethune School of North Lawndale in Chicago, and I am the new principle this year. Due to the poor economy around the school, things have been left to the way side, but I pray help give some hope back. Students are set back and 8th grade for some are their big celebration but I want to see them graduate high school. I want to be sitting in the audience at high school graduation and go those are my kids. Some issues at Bethune are based in the school makeup and location, teachers, readings levels, and the children encouragement.

My adventure with science began in childhood. The initial appeal of it was how challenging some questions could be. Over time my interests started to gradually shift towards mathematics, because I always felt the need to look for general solutions to the problems I faced. While I still have a keen interest in physics I tend to fell more comfortable when doing mathematics. I find the beauty of its abstractions and the ability to address a wide range of problems by generalizing them, to be unparalleled.

In our lives, we have to make important choices, and sometimes our choices determine our happiness or sadness. As a Filipino, our families tell us to do well in school and to not make bad choices because they want us to be successful and to have ethical morals. Growing up as a Catholic, I was taught to be obedient and respectful to my family which has shaped who I am today. Yet, I too made some mistakes, and I learned from the consequences. From my failures, I learned to not belittle myself, but to grow.
