“Relationship” matters most to me. During school years, I was a selfish girl, only interested in getting ahead of others. I was passionate about studying because the grade was a clear indicator that showed my superiority. I had no needs for loving or caring others, because I was always swarmed by friends who asked questions on exams. Unfortunately, it shaped me a wrong impression that everyone liked me if I attained an outstanding grade.
In my 12th grade, however, I experienced an enlightening event that taught me grade is not prime concern. Because the Korean SAT was approaching at the(that?) time, I was very sensitive. And one day, my classmate rubbed my fur the wrong way by talking with her friends in front of my desk. I asked her to be quiet but she did not set back. She and I haggled over for a while. I could not stand a disadvantageous position and I ended up punching her head several times. Although I was the top student in terms of grade, my classmates never approached me after this event. I was no longer appreciated by others, nor was I happy with my life. I had

After 3 months I joined the debate club in my university, a pre-tournament was held to select 16 debaters for an upcoming national championship. The number of win as a team was not a considerate in this pre-tournament because debaters were selected based on individual score of their own speeches. In fact, I was teamed up with a freshman who was relatively inexperienced and it would be a lie if I state that I was keen to share my idea with him. However, I shared and developed the idea collaboratively as one team and we were both selected to enter the championship. By forming faith between us, we collaborated dynamically embracing each other’s mistakes and achievement all together. In the championship, we became the only rookie team to reach semi-finals and I still remember the excitement we
When I was younger I failed myself and my family when I got held back a grade because I was not showing any progress in any of my subjects. I lost all of my friends, they began to talk bad about me because they thought I was not as Intelligent as they were. This effected me emotionally, I begged my parents not to hold me back a grade and to let me stay with my friends but my parents being tough said no, because school isn't about being close with friends, its about learning and making something of yourself. I learned a very important lesson the day I got held back a grade and that is to never give up and to strive to be the best in anything I do. I also learned that friends come and go, and that I can make more friends. I started studying every
Forming and maintaining positive relationships within a school setting is of great importance. To have good relationships with pupils, staff and parents is not only beneficial to the school but also to pupil’s achievement.
Students in the classroom come from a variety of backgrounds. Their lives are shaped by their families, their communities, but also their peers in school whom they will spend hours a day with throughout their educational career. The ability to form relationships with others, to create lasting friendships that grow and evolve with time, is detrimental to all children and their development. Lacking the ability to do so, whether it is directly because of their conditions or because of how other students perceive them, can dramatically harm them emotionally and mentally.
My grades have always been a high priority for me, along with my friends, family, and personal health, all of which are important for my future as a productive citizen. Throughout my schooling I have never felt the animosity towards education which sadly many of my peers hold, in fack I have even come to enjoy the challenges that school can present. I think mainly because much of the skills needed to do well in school came fairly naturally to me. Due to my adeptness in school I have felt that I should help those around me which are struggling in school and since I began helping others in school, I have found that I can explain those subjects which came easily to me in a way that could be easily understood by those I
Being able to build positive relationships with others helps children and young people to gain the most from being in school and is important to ensure the communication of information between children and the adults responsible for them. We are more likely to build a positive relationship with someone when we can communicate effectively with them.
Relationships are basically, what makes the world go round. All provide a sense of personal fulfillment, whether it'd be positive or negative. A good example are companies. Companies make strong relationships with their customers, in turn, customers spend more money buying their wares. Another example is the relationship between parents and children. Two texts that focus on these relationships are; “Only Daughter” by Sandra Cisneros and “Mother Tongue” by Amy Tan. The texts heavily revolve around the familial connection between a parent and a daughter. Actually, it s so emphasized on that connection, you might say to yourself,”Why is this so important?” It's important because connections go hand in hand with personal fulfillment. Explanations
Relationships can become overwhelming. Having a boyfriend/girlfriend, friends, family can distract a student from their studies. When there are disagreements in any of those relationships it can add on to the stress levels. The person on the other side of the relationship may not understand the pressure of school and may have some feeling of rejection because their partner is not giving them their full attention. Students have a talk with their boyfriend/girlfriend, friends and family about their expectations and what is needed of them.
From the perspective of students, positive student/teacher relationships are important in their schooling (Bernstein-Yamashiro and Noam, 29). These relationships are important because it gives students more motivation to come to school and to try harder in class (Bernstein-Yamashiro and Noam, 33). Some example of positive student/teacher relationship includes extra help, encouragement, motivation, learning their identity, how to form and maintain professional relationships, and develop socio-emotional skills (Bernstein-Yamashiro and Noam, 2013). Not only do students do well when they have positive relationships, teachers also benefit from them as they are satisfied when students put effort into their work (Bernstein-Yamashiro and Noam, 35). It is cited that a lack of connection to caring adults in school is a variable of alienation, failure, and dropout (Bernstein-Yamashiro and Noam, 17).
It is the first round of the Basketball State playoffs, and with eight seconds left, the talented Northwest team is down by three. The star point guard speed dribbles up the court, the tension on and off the court is immense, the pressure is even greater. Everyone during and prior to this game, had witnessed a season full of promise, and the consensus conclusion for most recognized this team as the best team to have ever come out Northwest High School. This was our best and likely only chance for success. So as the point guard puts the ball up, time nearly stops, it has a chance, but in like in life, the game of basketball is unforgiving, he misses. As most made their pre-conceived predictions of the future, or lack thereof, a young sophomore and his Junior Varsity teammates, we were inspired by our elders walking off the court, and the doubters going home. Bonded together, and we believed we were destine for something historical, and mythological outside our small circle. Thus two years later the 2016 Northwest Varsity Basketball team, the discourse community, where I developed relationships with the people I still call my brothers. A community which has shaped my work ethic, and has given me the knowledge of the amount of effort and work it takes to be successful. All of which was in efforts for a goal not even pronounced among our teammates, to us the future was still a mystery, only realized to us a one
Living in Small town located in the Central Valley in state of California. I began my freshman year in 2012 at the Avenal High School. My first day of class and everything seemed to be new for a fourteen years old teenager with big expectations about his future education .Dealing with new people and teachers that I did not back time, I go used to them. Attending to school seemed to be easy when it is not, but also it is not hard if you have determination and discipline. I can tell that I have not fallen my none of classes.

The mistake of getting lower grade did not make a weak student. I learned to

Sophomore year, I was elected team Captain of the Fairfield Union Girls Varsity Soccer team. Even though I was ecstatic to be a leader for the soccer team, I did feel slightly out of place, since there were many girls that were much older than I and wished to uphold a Captain position. I decided it was right for me, as a co-captain, to let the others lead with words, while I,
I was out of place, a quiet girl whose clothing was obviously not fashionable, lucky if she had a bag lunch, and no reason to be confident. I was picked on relentlessly by others who recognized an easy target. My chaotic home life was never conducive to good grades, or school for that matter. No one I knew was a role model and no one volunteered to step up to be one. With no social life and a toxic home life, my grades plummeted before they had a chance to climb.
I am not a new subject to myself. From childhood up to junior high, I only focused on myself. I didn’t worry or concern myself about others. That all changed in high school, when I started joining clubs. One particular club struck within me: Quizbowl. I was enthralled by the game and how players compete to become the best know-it-all. I realized that participating on the team would give me the opportunity to increase my knowledge. I joined, and before I knew it, I took over the club. As president, my responsibilities grew exponentially. Instead of only doing things for myself, I now had to think about how my actions and decisions affected the other 40 members in the group. Last year, we competed in the tournament for pre nationals (HSNCT).
There is a variety of relationships that a person experiences in a lifetime. A relationship is something that connects two or more people emotionally, mentally or physically. Relationships can be with family, friends, a significant other, and co-workers. Some relationships can help boost self-confidence and self-worth if the relationship goes well or ends well. Although some relationships can tear a
