Reflection: Why I Coming To Grace Christian School

I'm not really sure what to expect moving to a new school in a whole new state. What will it be like? What are the people like? The towns? Are their sidewalks cracked with dandelions growing out of them? What about their streets? Are they flooded cars, or are they empty? Do Neighbors all get along and give you cups of sugar when you're out and unable to run to the store?

My desire to work in the Catholic School system stems primarily from the ability to share my faith openly in such an environment, however, the Catholic School’s focus on the growth of the whole person, spiritual and academic and its commitment to service in the community and the world are also very important to me.

Even though I was worried about having my friends in my class, I was even more worried about meeting my new teacher. Would she be like someone out of the Black Lagoon, or would she be exciting and fun like the Frizzle? I ended up with the Frizzle and learned a lot about science this year. We went on some wonderful field trips too like to the apple orchard and the park. We never had to take the school bus to outer space or inside the digestive tract of another student, but we learned about making new friends and finding the enjoyment in everything around

Attending my Catholic school is a gift as well as a privilege and I have gratitude for the opportunity. Because I see my school as a gift, I have academic goals and put 100% effort into them. An academic goal that I have is to work hard for superior grades while continuing to become proficient with educational skills such as writing, reading, oral and written communication, science, and mathematics. Additionally, I plan to continue to get to know myself and to learn about possible careers that might interest me. A career that I am currently interested in involves the fields of dentistry and surgery. Plus at my school, we learn about personal responsibility and personal initiative in our morals and behaviors. Another goal is that I want to

When I arrived at Prosper High School on the first day of school, I was extremely nervous, but halfway through the day that all went away because I made a few friends and everyone was so nice and welcoming, which made me feel like

In 2014 of October I moved to Georgia from Florida. I was leaving a place I had been living in my entire life. It was a tough situation as I knew moving to a different state and school could be difficult. I was very nervous as it was a new environment with different people and new types of school work. I was worried about not making friends or getting bad grades. That morning of school my heart raced. When I arrived at school I met new people and my teachers, I also figured out which teachers were bad and what teachers would be good. I left school that day very happy knowing I would have a great year. Later that week I started to become more familiar with the grading systems, behavior system and connections. at my old school they were called

I came in as a scared little freshman. I’m pretty sure I peed my pants on the way to school. There was no need for me to be afraid because my brother was going into his senior year. The amount of times he told me there is nothing to worry about and everything is going to be okay was a very large amount. Of

Aside from the other freshman and a few band members, I didn’t know many other people and had no idea what my classes would be like. Now, at the end of the year, I feel more confident in my abilities to be successful at school and I know a lot more people. Over the course of the year, I couldn’t help but learn and grow up a little.

At the beginning of the year, I was uncomfortable. I felt like I would not be able to learn as much because of the different environment I was faced with. Little did I know it would be the complete opposite; I would end up learning more than I ever had before in a traditional English class. I was a little uneasy about the classroom setup, rolly chairs usually formed in a circle, and typically a student led class. As the year progressed, I realized that the mobility of the chairs and the opportunity to openly participate in class discussions led to me becoming more comfortable in the classroom and also led to me learning more about how to become a better reader, writer, and thinker. I accepted the challenge of learning in a unique environment.

The second semester of this course made me question my passion for math. I understood concepts and the curriculum but I would never do well in the practice AP Tests my teacher gave us weekly. The tests would be curved tremendously and the grades I received were a lie. 9/45 does not equal a 70%. I felt true resentment.

Walking into a high school I do not know much about and barley know anyone is very scary. From the fear I had in the beginning of the year has slowly faded throughout the year. Holland Christian has been a even bigger impact on me. I have changed throughout this year because I have been learning to work with others better and meeting new people. I never really like working in groups, but group work has now has helped me be a better people person

The first day of school was full of mostly nerves and confusion, not knowing exactly what to expect and not even sure where more than half of your classes are located. There is a tad excitement throughout the day of realizing after all those years in school, you have finally made it into a good university. The atmosphere is different lots of adults walking around like they know what they’re doing and where they’re going. Though many students like myself weren’t even 18 yet, we were able to receive an early taste of what it is like to be treated as an adult.

I grew up in Arecibo, Puerto Rico a city on the northern coast of the island. Arecibo is known for the Arecibo Observatory (the worlds most powerful, and largest radio telescope) It is also known as La Villa Del Capitan Correa in memory of a Spanish army soldier.

This made me very nervous. I had plenty of friends at the school I went to now and I was very happy. But with a little convincing, I said yes. And I am so glad I did. On my first day of school walking in felt like the walks were going to eat me up or crush me, but that quickly changed. This new school was small, but it seemed

Based on the evidence provided from this concluded research, it can be inferred that positive expectations led to more successful outcomes. Therefore negative or low expectations result in poor levels of success. Hence, the following consequences can be discussed to show how teacher expectations influence students learning in the classroom.
