I want to read 50 books during the school year. I will start this goal on September 6th, which is my first day of my junior year of high school. The end date of this goal is June 16th, the last day of school. This gives me roughly 9 months to read 50 books. I will have to reach this goal while juggling schoolwork and nursing classes at my local technical school.
I really appreciated watching the documentary about Little Rock Central High School in class this week. “Little Rock Central High School is an accredited comprehensive public high school in Little Rock, Arkansas.” I had never hear about the school before or knew the history behind what happened many years ago. I cannot imagine what it must have felt like for African American kids to go school for the very first time with a bunch of white Americans who did not accept them at the time. Nine simple ordinary African American kids worked so hard to allow a chance for them to receive an education in a school that was not segregated. To think about how much bullying they went through and how much verbal and physical abuse they must have endured
At Fond du Lac High School, in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, there are classes that each grade is required to take. For example, every student is required to take four English classes, one per year. In addition to that, every student is required to take three science, math, and social studies classes. This hinders a student’s ability to further themselves along a potential career path by forcing them into taking classes that aren't needed. In order to fix this policy, three things need to happen. There needs to be more trade high schools, fewer required classes, and differently formatted school days.
This school is miserable. I can’t believe my parents made me attend Ramapo High School. The people in this school are a buncha phonies with rich parents. Everyone acts like they’re entitled to everything because of their social status. I’m trying really hard to apply myself but I can’t handle the surrounding that I am in. To be honest though, I’ve been to schools that were way worse than Ramapo. The worst one was Indian Hills. God damn, that place was a hell of a dump. I ran away from that place so many times that even I started to become concerned for myself. My only friends here at Ramapo are Ackley and Jane. Ramapo has over a 1000 students enrolled, and those 2 are the only ones that I know of that aren’t phonies. You want to know what characteristics
I tend to struggle so much when I read sometimes because I get distracted really easily. Whenever I read I usually read at night right before i go to bed because I always end up falling asleep. I have always likes to write stories about my life or whatever the teacher assigns us to write or I just make it up. My mom is a big reader she likes to read all the time. She reads whenever she has free time and always always before she goes to bed. She has her out kindle and she reads a bunch of books off of that. I guess I now know where I get my reading
Montgomery Township is claimed to have some of the best schools in the country with many coming for its stellar education. This is due in part by with the new technology that was introduced, such as touchscreen desktop computers, chromebooks, and smartboards. However, it was not so long ago that this high tech was not present. Some in the Montgomery Upper Middle School(MUMS) say that the schools should go technology free for one week, saying that it will improve students emotionally and socially, while others claim that students will not be able to perform academically to the best of their abilities. This tech free week is a great idea because it can help student’s physically and academically, demonstrating that when technology takes over
I Makayla Elaine Bunbasi, have been academically suspended from Allegany College of Maryland. I have been suspended due to my academic status falling below the required minimum. I understand that it is important to do well in school and I am willing to put all my focus into my schooling to make sure I do whatever it takes to pass my classes. I know there shouldn’t be any reason for a student to fall behind in school but the past two and a half years of my life have been a struggle. When I was seventeen I made the choice to move to West Virginia to take care of my grandmother since my Pap worked out of town Monday-Friday. Over the past two years I have had to care for my grandmother on my own. Taking her to her appointments, surgeries, and the emergency room at times,
Yearbook is an elective which requires constant dedication and hard work. Yearbook also requires maintaining a positive attitude throughout the day and respect for the other kids in the class. I feel that I have the constant diligence to continue this elective, without doubt, till the end of the year. Whether it is to come early or to leave late, I am willing to persist in what I am doing. From the experience I have had through Journalism, I know what it feels like to work as a group, and to cooperate as one.
Thusly on the off chance that I can get a couple of minutes I can have that ready to read. I will have a day by day objective to read no less than fifteen minutes a day on a point that I discover intriguing and clever. Given my home calendar I ought to have a couple set times amid consistently when I can read for no less than 5-10 minutes. For instance, I can make it a point to read amid lunch time and get the children included with the point.
This year in English class I have grown tremendously as a reader and writer. I have learn to think critically and analyze literature and I have also learned how to identify figurative language while reading and incorporate that into my writing. My work from the fall like the Pearl essay is very different from my writing in the spring, like the Tom Robinson editorial. The Pearl essay is very repetitive, while the Tom Robinson editorial is very direct and gets to the point quickly. The Tom Robinson Editorial was written as if the reader had not read the book, To Kill a Mockingbird before. My Pearl essay, on the other hand mentioned characters the you would not know if you had not read the book. My writing had improved over the course of
One of the favorite things about Valencia College is that there is not limit on helping the student body. It doesn't matter the situation that the student might be going through, the Valencia College staff is always willing to help you. I have experienced this myself. Fall semester is going to be my first semester at Valencia, and I have gotten a lot of help from different staff member. Also, there constant out reach to help the student to achieve a higher education is another thing that I admired the most.
How I achieved my goal was of course by reading. I have to admit I didn't read every night, but when I did read it felt like I can read for hours. I always read in bed. I don't know what's with my bed it's like a peaceful quiet cloud. Mrs. Willis helped me out on a couple books because I had to have it by a certain day. I had to read certain amount of pages each day till the due date. It helped me out a lot because I never thought of that before. One of the things that helped me the most was iMovie
This year was one that helped me figure out my strengths academically. As the year progressed I noticed writing flowed easier for me than math did. For me it has always been that way. English has been my strong point since elementary, but this year it was evident. I struggled with the content that math analysis consists of. It was hard for me to understand how one number could just suddenly turn into something else and how so many symbols were needed.It was confusing. My goal this year was to understand the kind of person I want to become as I reach adulthood. Junior year was a year full of realizations and it helped put into perspective how important our actions are now. How our grades do affect us because it can alter what schools we are
Changing schools, especially in high school is extremely challenging. I transferred to Naperville Central after freshman year. I transferred from a Catholic school to a public school and I was optimistic as well as nervous to see what the difference would be. The first day of school came and I was extremely nervous. I had just transferred to a new school where I did not know a lot of people. I had left all of my good friends behind and was nervous because i thought everyone would already have there friend group and I would be unable to fit in.
I do well on the majority of my assignments, but I want to work harder on my homework and assessments so it can benefit me learn and remember all I need to know. I will know I’m getting above average grades when I’ll have sixes, sevens, and eights. I set high expectations so I push myself harder to reach to my goal, that makes me land perfectly where I want to be, in between where I started and my expectation. I also have set a goal to read 30 minutes every night. Granted last year I did read almost every night, I wouldn’t read the other days. So I would like to read everyday by setting a time period for each night so I can have my 30 minutes of reading in each night. This will allow me to be superior at reading longer books knowing that if I can read a certain amount of pages in 30 minutes, I will be able to find out how quickly I can accomplish a long book. Which also will benefit me read and achieve a large amount of books at a time.
