School Lessons Learned

High school is always considered some of the best years of life. Students live with their families, see their friends almost everyday, and participate in the activities they love with the people they love. It has enough freedom for the student to decide how hard they will try, but it also has just the right amount of restrictions that parents can step in to make the student work. High school also gives students many opportunities to succeed and keep letting them try again if they fail. For example, a math teacher may allow a student to retake two test throughout a semester, but if the student proves that they are trying in the class then the teacher may allow them to retake a few more tests. Also, schoolwork is not tedious or lengthy,

Even though we come to school to get an education by our own free will or by our parents making us get out of the bed and dragging us here every day, we have learned so much about other facets of life outside of our classes. We have learned many important things like how strong friendship can be, how life can be unpredictable and throw you some curves, forgive yourself, your friends and your enemies, how it's okay to fail, and don’t be afraid to show others you care about them. Life is about taking risks and making mistakes so we can learn from them even if they have a negative effect.

In this essay, I'm going to give advice to the high school freshman class to help them out with their last four high school years and to help them be successful. The advice that I am going to give might and probably will help freshmen, whether they are in-coming or already enrolled.

How I changed from this semester to the end of the semester is that I am not turning in late work anymore because I have learned my lesson with all my teachers. I used to turn in a lot of late work and they would not count it as a grade.

What I have learned from this, is to never give up, to push through any barriers there may be in life. To never care what anyone thinks about me, only my own opinion about myself matters. I'll never let someone else make me run from my dreams, never give up because anything in life is possible if you put your mind to it. Don’t give up on something or do something you know you'll later

The Single most important thing I learned in chapter 3 was reciprocity and the four main components of it: mutuality, nonjudgmental, honesty, and respect. I think this is very important because you shouldn’t be rude, judge people, lie to them and disrespect them during any form of communication or interaction.

Throughout our lives, we experience situations that can undoubtedly challenge our lives. These experiences can have outcomes that are not in our favor, but teach us crucial lessons. In my case, almost a year ago I lost someone who unquestionably had a vast impact on my life. My uncle Sal was taken from me unexpectedly. That day took a major toll on myself and my entire family. However, such an event served as the gate for me to see they type of person I am.

This week was exciting for me. I am actually going to be in the classroom three times this week on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. I am excited to see what happens on Friday because it will be a new day and will be full of new adventures. We also get to dress up like a character from Because of Winn Dixie; I plan on being Ms. Franny the librarian. One high from this week was I taught my first lesson and it went really well. The students loved my lesson they had so much fun and their reactions were hysterical. My cooperating teacher also gave me positive feedback on my lesson and she said that she could tell the students really enjoyed my lesson. One of the most exciting parts of my lesson however, was the ending when we had our discussion. I could tell that the students had really learned the importance of adding detail and specifics to their sequencing writing. One low from the week was that I had to have a discussion with one of my students about respect. The teacher then confronted the student and they had to write me a note apologizing for being disrespectful. I hope that I will still be able to build a strong relationship with this student, and that our relationship is not strained because of this interaction. Even

I think the one thing that I really learned is that not everyone sticks around. I thought going into high school that i’d have the same friends the entire time, that these were my best friends; again, I was wrong. Some of my friends moved away, others we grew apart, and a couple are still around. My best friend of nine years moved away last year and that was kinda difficult, but she still makes time when she can. The people that I grew apart from ended up going down a path that I didn’t want to be apart of. Losing people can be pretty difficult, but I learned that the only person that is truly there for me, is me.

What I’ve learned so far this year is that never be afraid to speak up and stand up for yourself. If you don’t ever stand up for yourself, you will be pushed around. I learned that especially being a freshman. I thought I would never be friends with older people because I was a stupid freshman. My mom told me I would have to stand up to myself and be mature. On the first day of school and still today I do those very things. Now I have lots of older friends than what I would ever expect. I still have my good old pals, but I have a lot more friends than I did

While I was in high school, my least favorite class was gym. For various reasons, I did not like participating, and often refused outright, or dropped out of an activity when I got tired of it. I heard about how important physical activities were, but I never really participated. Everything changed when I read a story. While mostly intended for entertainment, the lesson I learned from it was far easier to remember than dry, official school documents. I do not recall the book’s name, but it had a synthetic alien lifeform trying to blend in with humans. One scene I recall had it observing a sport, volleyball I think, and analyzing why people were doing it. Specifically, the analysis was focused on how the fast paced game was similar to combat; learning how to work with your allies to achieve more than you could alone; Practice reacting to rapidly changing situations; Gaining the ability to predict your opponents, and counter their actions. While the story had the main character missing that it was mostly for fun, the

From an early age I was taught the importance of personal integrity and the importance of being adaptable and prepared for any stressful situation that life may throw at you. During my time as a boy scout I was constantly taught to be prepared and to also to always be at the service of others. At the end of our camping trips we would be told repeatedly to “leave this place, better than when you found it” and this lesson has translated into my own life. I want to make the world a better (safer) place than when I found it. As I grew up, these lessons continued to play a key role in the decisions I made and have made me into the man that I’ve become today.

High school has taught me many things during my young life. Through trial and error, I have become the student, and more importantly the person that I am today. One critical lesson that I learned is how to deal with competing priorities, including academics, sports, service clubs, and an active social life. A huge factor in my success was finding what I was passionate about and pursuing that with all my heart. Once my goals were clear, I was able to focus and work hard. Flexibility and time management were key as my responsibilities expanded and the stakes grew larger. My grades and higher learning became my top priorities and I quickly learned how to manage a busy academic and personal calendar. My choices to work hard, be active, and

Once a child graduates from elementary school and goes on to high school, he or she is already molded into the person he or she will be for the rest of his or her life. Sure all kids become more mature within those four years, but their values are still the same, and in some cases even stronger. In most circumstances, a child will use what they learned in the past to make decisions inhe future. High school, however, is important for other reasons as well. High school is the very last step before a student can enter the realm of higher education. Therefore, high school is essentially what prepares a student to go on to bigger and better things. High school is where

Upon finishing this course, I have learned an important lesson to be a manager and a leader of my own life to lead others successfully. First, I have learned to manage and align my actions with my core values because that will bring the satisfaction and fulfillment to what I do; this approach will reflect positively on my work ethics and standard of care toward patients and coworkers. The second lesson I have attained is to manage life boundaries intelligently and integrate my work and my life successfully; which was clearly stated in module one upon discussing leadership and management in correlation to problem-solving, decision making, and critical thinking. The third lesson I have liberated as a manager I have to embrace changes courageously and adapt to any situation that is not in my comfort zone; module two emphasizes that changes will fulfill the management role; yet a good leader is always perceptive and open to changes and view it as an opportunity for growth and development.
