Reflection Paper On Dual Enrollment

Taking a Psychology class has taught me a lot about others and myself. I have learned a lot in this class and the information I retained will stick with me for the rest of my life. The knowledge I have gained will help me in the future by allowing me to be a better actress, CEO, and mother. The most important topics I will need are Lifespan Development and Psychological Disorders. These subjects can be unknowingly important when crossing paths with other people.

It was one of the few classes I had a low "C" in. Which for someone whose family is half Asian, is a death sentence. It was a class with one of the more difficult, yet also one of my favorite, teachers in the school. The tests and essay prompts were sometimes on books I found too boring or tedious to read. For example, "Jane Eyre" by Charlotte Bronte, which in an ironic twist I had used for my senior quote, had too much old flowery language for my taste. This made it harder for me to accomplish writing so I would write incredibly slowly and procrastinate, checking various social medias and playing video games to delay the enviable; a laborious task of writing an essay. Finding a good analysis and finding good enough evidence would sometimes be difficult for me as these novels did not seem worth analyzing. These kinds of essays didn't do as well as some of my other ones in different classes because of my resentment towards classical bombastic language. I generally did slightly above average on these writing portions, but it was never enough to raise my grade to that coveted, and what seemed to be impossible

This scholarship will help me get a head start in college. It will also help me to reach my career goals in the medical field.

Furthermore, one of my most challenging experiences was maintaining a 3.0+ GPA in school while attending Oakland Community College in the Dual Enrollment Program. It was a tough situation to be in, due to the excessive amount of work I had to do for both high school and college. Every week I had to complete a chapter of my book, which consisted of long sections using words that I have never even heard of in my life, the prolonged chapters were followed by a required one to two-page essay that was due the next week or else it was considered late. Now keep in mind that these essays were a huge part of my overall grade, so I am embarrassed to say that out of the ten chapters, about four or five of them were late, but the reason for that is because

Throughout high school, I have challenged myself both in the classroom and out in my community. By taking the honors classes, while participating in as many extracurricular activities as I can, I have learned the importance of balance and commitment. My school offered many dual-enrollment courses with conjunction to the local community college as well as Seton Hall University. These classes prepared me for the rigorous workload of college classes, while giving me the opportunity to earn college credits as a high school student. In addition to the dual-enrollment program, I have taken several AP classes that too transfer to college credits. I always challenged myself to take the upper-level courses because I want to be as prepared as I possibly

I think the most challenging courses I took this year was AP Lang but not because of the work or reading but because I did not give me 100% in that class. I think that is something I did wrong and I should have changed that as fast as I could. My grade could have been better in that class then what I got both semesters. The expectations I wanted to meet did not end up that way and actually ended bad for me which I regret. Some of the strengths I discovered this year was being able to ask questions and participate in class without being embarrassed and also talk to my teachers individually which was something that was really hard for me freshman and sophomore year. There are some assignment that I am really proud of and other that I think I

Around seven months ago, several of my classmates and I walked into our high school’s computer lab and logged onto Northwestern State University’s (NSU) Moodle website for the first time. Over the next seven months, we logged into our accounts several more times, often every day of the week. As dual-enrollment students, we have been attending online college courses through this website as high school students. These courses allow us to get a head start in our college educations. While this experience has been largely beneficial to us as students, it has not been an entirely pleasant one. The NSU dual-enrollment program has issues, but there are solutions to these problems.

With taking the regular United States history class, I feel that I would not be pushed and have any expectations put on me to do my very best, even though I know I would try my hardest on every assignment regardless on the course title. Freshman year was very easy for me and I did not have a lot of work to complete, especially not having multiple assignments each night, but I am ready to receive more work in order to prepare for the next couple of years of high school. Also, having a more challenging class with a heavier workload will prepare me for college and the difficult classes that I will have to take then.

This course level was for sure harder than most of my other classes. I think I found it harder because if I had a question about something I could not just go and ask Rachel, I had to send and email and then wait for her to reply. I would say that this class is definitely harder because I had never taken any Psychology before so I did not

Something that i did not like about this class was that the schedule sometimes got very messy. Sometimes we would get a lot of work at once and I would not know what was do when. That really affected my grade because most of my work would be incomplete. Also, when I thought we were going to go over something in class we never talked about

The Dual Admissions Program would support my future goals by providing me with the education needed to prepare and train me for an enthusing profession in osteopathic medicine. As the university with the first osteopathic college established in the southeastern United States, I am awaiting an incredible experience in the Dual Admission Osteopathic Medicine Program. At an utmost level of merit and in a supporting environment of research and intellectual activities, it will permit me to practice and interact with other health professions students. Its distinctive curriculum offering academic and clinical training will prepare me for the true world of medicine. This will aid me in my path towards becoming an exemplary physician.

I knew, I would do all right in speech and writing courses. Math was never my strong point. However, I found out that I would have to take a remedial math course before enrolling in the math course for computer science. I also discovered that since I had not taken physics in high school. I would have to complete a college physics course before beginning the science courses. Most working students also find out as I did that they have very little time for homework, they have to reduce their courses loads.

Already getting started next year, I enrolled into a psychology class to get a jumpstart for when I go into college. I chose to enroll into the psychology class because the human mind is something that is very complex and diverse. By me taking this class, I am partially more ahead and more taught than that of a student who doesn’t take the class. And that way, when I get into the psychology major, I have a small intake of what it is all about.

I have learned so much in this class to prepare me for a successful college experience. There were some topics that caught my attention more than others. Such as, time and stress management, University resources, and critical thinking.
