School Is Never A Big Issue For Me

I have always excelled at math and science. Sophomore year, I had to decide whether I would take regents or honors physics in my junior year. I was already going to take AP biology, and I had planned on signing up for regents physics so that I wouldn't get too overwhelmed by science courses. Everyone warned me that honors physics was a tough class. However, I ended up taking the honors because my friend didn't want to be alone in that course. This is one of the best choices I've made in my life. I loved my honors physics class. Physics allows me to apply my math knowledge into real world situations that I can visualize and even test experimentally. Additionally, it requires me to problem solve and think problems through meticulously, which I love.

One of my prime examples of both my academic strengths and weaknesses is my performance in math. I have received more than one C in my high school math classes. However, the highest SAT score was my math score. Another weakness I had at times throughout my years of high school was investing too much time socializing As a result, I would not spend enough time doing homework, which affected my test scores causing my grades to be lower than what I preferred. Looking back, I didn't take my classes seriously because I wasn't truly considering going to college until my junior year. Then I knew that I had to get the best grades during my last two years. That year I ended with a C in Pre-Calculus but if I had not reached out to my teachers because I felt lost in the class, stayed after school for one-one-one help, and reached out to friends that had a better understanding of the material, I probably would have failed the class. In college, I plan on strengthening my academic performance by continuing to focus and put effort into my classes, balance classes with my social life, be motivated and

ANother personal challenge I am faced with is being nosy , I am bad at knowing where to draw the line sometimes. Lastly another personal challenge I am faced with is being shy , I am kind of non -sociable sometimes. I am faced with a lot of personal challenges but I am learning to not have any .

School was a place where I could leave the dysfunctional atmosphere I live in and nothing took my mind off of my hardships like sports, music, and community service. To avoid the life I lived when school was over, I would learn new instruments and play different sports. I even began to participate in restoring Seattle parks every Saturday with a group called Earth Corps through a non-profit organization called Global Visionaries. I learned leadership skills and met people that changed my life for the better. I realized that there were many things I could do that would allow me to learn and give back to the community and at the same time allow me to escape from my

I may have a few weaknesses, but also have a couple of good strengths when it comes to school. I am very organized when it comes to paper work and class. I normally have a folder for each class and divided by different sections. Being on time is a big strength for me. I do not like to be late. Being on time also makes me prepare for class calm and not anxious.

I was able to make friends easily by applying my interpersonal skills amongst others. This included joining societies as well as, using my communication skills during my seminar group work discussions, where I demonstrated my teamwork skills by co-operating with others during a shared task. Working with others is a vital skill, as I did not only collaborate with them, but learn from them by listening to their thoughts, as we all had diverse ideas and perspectives. This point leads back to my anxiety of interacting within a new environment, which allowed me to step out of my comfort zone and, associate with people from different backgrounds.

This made me quit hanging out with friends however when I began middle school I started to discover that it is a typical thing so I started simply doing what I regularly would do and in the event that I had a fit of anxiety then I would utilize the methods I gained from my specialist. I had numerous individuals help me through this crucial step of my life and I learned through these individuals to be strong and even the most astute and most grounded individuals have difficulties. Another hardship I'm experiencing in my life at the present time is financial issues. My dad's company he was working for went out of business so he needed to begin another job that didn't pay to such an extent. He was them jobless for a couple of months until he recently found a new

With so much of my focus set on finding new friends, I never really thought about the academic side of school. In elementary school, I was always smart enough to never have to do anything, which as you can imagine set up fantastic studying skills. 6th grade was easy enough, but seventh grade my grades were blighted. Learning these skills was very difficult, and in fact didn't happen until way later at the end of my middle school career. I had to work very hard to maintain the A average I was used

There are two types of school in this world and that is the schools that are between individuality and conformity. There are a lot of issues that school focus on that aren’t really necessary. Some schools focus on points likes dress code or testing or discipline. There are other schools that are more carefree and don’t really focus on forring thing except timing. School sometimes may even be thought as unimportant because the policies are so strict.

Due to the facts that it is required for children in America and I that am only sixteen years old, school has been a considerable part of my life. I went to morning pre-kindergarten classes

I was born in Arizona and moved to Oregon when I was six and since my mom likes to move a lot i've been to a lot of different schools. The classes i like the most or i feel like are my strongest areas are social studies and language arts. I’m not saying that i don't like any of my classes because i enjoy them, it’s just that i feel like i'm stronger in them that i am in math for example. If i was to list off one of my i strengths guess i'd say that i'm creative or at least that i'm good at thinking that i'm creative. My parents accept me to at least get a B’s in all my classes but i'm always shooting for an A. one of the areas that i struggle with like the majority of the students is procrastination but this year i've decided to take care of

Overall High School, every class has had their intense moments. Personally the class I have found more challenging is Math Analysis. Ever since when I entered High School I was determined of getting really good grade, but never expected math to be really challenging for me. I have had really amazing Math teachers throughout the years, but Math has become a really difficult subject for me to comprehend. Throughout School my weakest subjects have been English and Math. I was never a really big fan of history or science, but I have felt those classes to be less challenging than English and Math. English has neither been a subject I have been interested in, but English class has taught me many new things. English has helped many in many ways,for

The most significant challenge I’ve faced was frequent moves. Having to pack up and leave everything behind was one of the worst experiences I ever had to go through. As a child, I was always shy and struggled to make new friends. Whenever we moved, it would be difficult to make even four or five friends. It became difficult to make new friends after those few, partly due to my own shyness and partly due to the cliques that had already formed. However, over the years and multiple moves, I slowly began to loosen up and become less shy. I was able to start to reach out more and be less shy as the new kid. Over time, my fear of moving and losing all my hard-earned friends stopped becoming as terrifying to me. In my most recent move, I moved from

When I was a kid, school for me was waking up early in the morning. I also have to study a lot in school, then after school I have to do homework. I remember my first day at school. My mom and dad, both were so happy and prepared but I was so nervous and cheerless. I didn’t like to wake up early in the morning for school , but as time flew by I started loving school which made me wake up with energy instead of tiredness. I began to enjoy the school as I made new friends and I got to know how it is like when you meet people out of your neighborhood. With my friends I had lunch together and study together. I started to understand what the purpose of the education system. Based on what I understood I think the purpose of education is really aimed at helping students get to the point where they can learn to be on their own. In this journey of education I had a lot of positive and few negative experiences,but the negative experiences also helped me growing. Positive experiences are my teachers helping me improve, and I improved more when I moved to the United States.

School, to me and among many peers of my age, is not a distant term. I have spent one-third of my life time sitting in classrooms, every week since I was seven years old. After spending this much time in school, many things and experiences that happened there have left their mark in my memory. Some are small incidences while some have had a great impact on me. However, regardless the degree of significance, things that happened all contributed to shape the person that I am now.
