1. The historical thinking skill practice during the guided practice and in the DBA was sourcing. We practiced it by answering sourcing questions that were written in the front page of the DBA packet. The first time the “teachers” helped us source the first document and then we had to do it in groups or by ourselves with the other document.

Hello, I am Clara Smith and next semester I will be a Sophomore at APU, majoring in acting. I am interested in this course because I think that the human mind is fascinating and I would like to learn about how it is studied. I chose APU because it is a Christian school and it has a wonderful

I felt it was very important to be fully involved in my academics and activities in high school. My freshman year I took part in Show Choir, Football Cheer, Basketball Cheer, and finally Softball. My class schedule consisted of accelerated classes like Geometry because I took Algebra I in middle school. I decided to stay a part of only Show Choir and Football Cheer during my sophomore year, while still being challenged in my classes. By my junior year, I was in Football Cheer, HOSA, and Key Club. I took classes such as AP English and Pre-Calculus in order to keep myself challenged. My junior year was when I started taking part in community service at the local middle school

I thought that I probably would qualify for AP Physics 1 because my grades in math and in science seemed to be very high and that was one of the components to the AP recommendation. Also, the math “quiz” that was given in class seemed very easy to me which was also a component of the course placement. Being recommended for AP Physics 1 is very exciting for me because I like math and I know that physics is a lot of math. In addition to being excited, I am very eager to get to the first class to see how difficult it is and I am up for the challenge. The labs that we have done this year I thought were very interesting and I enjoyed them, but they would have been better if they were a bit more difficult. For me, memorizing facts is definitely my

Last school year I decided to take a course on Advanced Anatomy to receive science credits. Little did I know it would the best class ever. Anatomy has helped me confirm my interest in focusing on the medical field in college, specifically nursing. We learned about the majority of the body systems, with the skeletal system and the brain being my favorite. The outline of the body and the many tasks of the brain were my favorite things to learn and study. When it was time to dissect, I was hesitant, but I soon learned that I very much enjoyed looking at the body and where things were located. When the time came to choose classes for senior year, I realized that AP Psychology was available. Taking this course allowed me to further my interest

I was standing again; my friend shook her head at me. I didn’t care. I was in the back and the teacher didn’t mind. I sat all day and for now I would stand with excitement and worry making my mouth dry and my hands unable to stay still. Making me unable to stay still.

On June 26th, I started my first online college class. I thought World History would be a great place to start and relatively easy course to pass. I had no idea how the class would make significant changes in my life. This class was far from a few easy credits I thought I would acquire in the short 8 weeks. The few weeks with Professor Jared Harrington increased my literacy towards topics I would have given up in the past. This class affected my world view, improved me as a student, a learner, enlightened my view on world religions, forced me to analyze information from readings, and helped me formulate my own thoughts. The amount of material covered in this course was immense and I now believe I have a better view of religion, its role in history, and where the world is heading due to all the historical events of the past.

In my younger years, I never had to labor to meet academic standards. In elementary and middle school, a weak effort on my part was more than enough to place me at a high academic level among my peers. Once I reached high school, the expectations for me changed drastically, while my mindset struggled to keep up.

For the first time, I felt like it was an accomplishment to be proud of. Long, late nights studying and months of hard work had all paid off. At the end of the year, I went to my parents and asked if I could do the math program, the other class ATYP offered. I loved everything about ATYP. The rigor, the fast pace, the difficult assignments that actually made me think, and the community of kids who cared about learning and challenged me to do better. I wanted more. The next year, three other girls from my class and I did both programs. Instead of missing half a day of classes every Wednesday, I missed almost a full day. We covered year long classes in half the time. It was fast paced and challenging. If we fell behind, it was hard to catch up. My 10-15 hours of homework a week from ATYP LA doubled, and I had to keep on top of my normal classes as well with only four days a week. I became expert at scheduling out homework time. The classes themselves were fascinating. I loved working through the tricky math problems. I relished the moments when it all clicked. I also fell in love with the classic novels we were reading in LA. Again, I finished with an A in both classes. Of the three other girls that started both with me, I was the only one to stay in both courses.

When I primarily started eighth grade, I came in with more motivation than I did in seventh or sixth grade. I recognized I needed to work especially hard this year in order to impress the high school I wanted to attend next year, St. Francis, which I knew would not be easy. I developed habits and routines for studying that I felt helped me best to remember important things. I also knew I needed assistance in certain subjects, such as math, so I took it upon myself to search for a tutor. Once I regulated these habits, I saw an immediate improvement in my grades, and stress levels. As opposed to last year and sixth grade, I created a totally success driven mentality that really aided me throughout the entire year, which is what made it the best. After learning from my mistakes in previous middle school

The bump in the road that I faced in my academic life occurred during 9th grade. I was taking geometry honors which was a 10th grade class. I was already trying to adapt to the life of a high school student which included navigating my way throughout the big school that is Bartram Trail High School. So geometry was an added obstacle that turned out to be a substantial challenge. Right from the start my grades started to suffer. I thought that over time they would improve and that I would just need to get used to the teacher and the high school environment. However, this never quite happened. After a while I got very concerned and started coming in for extra help. This did not help me as I was still not grasping the concepts. I would spend hours staring at my homework blankly,

School has always offered a powerful and entertaining challenge for me, starting with the third grade when Gifted and Talented classes started. These “GT” classes offered a more fast-paced alternative to math and science classes. This accelerated pace forced me from a young age to retain and apply a large amount of information in short amount of time. My teacher showed me how to take notes efficiently and to understand what I was learning, not just memorize it. Transferring from elementary to middle school, I was introduced to honors classes. I continued to work and improve as fast as I could. This allowed me to enter my freshman year of highschool and start with algebra 1 and english one under my belt. My sophomore year of highschool, I doubled

Looking back at all I’ve accomplished through out my K-12 years I’ve realized it’s taught me so much about life. In elementary I was taught my manners while incorporating basic subjects such as math, reading, writing, etc. I can remember how prestigious nap times were and the little snack breaks I used to have during class. Those days were the best days. My first academic success actually came in the third grade when I was on the honor roll all four quarters of the school year. I didn’t think being on the honor roll was such a big deal until I received my first certificate. I felt so privileged to have received that honor and truth be told I loved every second of it. The proud looks on my parents face really put the icing on the cake. I believe to this day that’s what got me so motivated to excel in my academics. With the help of my friends and family the hard work I put in truly paid off.
