During this year you will meet some very nice teachers that will ask a lot out of you and push you to your limits for later on in life. This is also a good year to learn who your true friends are and find new ones.This year will also test your ability to get along and listen clearly to teachers and peers, because they all may have something that can lift you up and make your load easier. I will be giving you some tips about some teachers and the work ethic needed to survive junior high. I will also give you some tips to not so overwhelmed.

Do not panic, Dr. Shah is the best professor! To the spring semester students who are taking Bio190, I think that the course name ‘Bio190’ may be scarier than the actual course! Of course this class is challenging, but it is no different from any other college course! As long as you pay attention in lectures/labs, actively participate and not be afraid to ask questions when topics are unclear, and study/review your notes every night, you will succeed! Dr. Shah’s lectures, notes, and PowerPoints are the best so do not worry, you are in good hands!

This was a great class, and I learned a lot this semester. One thing that I learned from this class

In this letter I will tell you some things to help you through writing class and eighth grade. This is your last year of middle school so you have to have fun and get involved with the school. Follow the rules and do your work is good enough to get through this year.

Today I wrote this letter to introduce myself to you for the purpose of improving our collaboration during this semester. As a first son and a fifth child in the family, I’ve received many loves from my parents and my four older sisters. My family migrated from Vietnam to the United States five years ago and carried our new hopes and dreams to this place. I was having a tough time in maintaining my native language and learning English at the same time. I don’t have any interest in reading books because I‘ve never really enjoy any book that I’ve read in the past, or just because I haven’t read as much book as i thought I did. My goal for this year is to past every classes with an A. The reason is I don’t want to lose my financial aid, and

Fifth grade was the best year for me. It was also the most interesting year. I am writing this letter from my Eighth grade 21st tech class. I hope that you enjoy my professional letter.

I will be telling you my experience as a 8th grader and what you should watch out for. First i’ll be telling you about all the classes, then the specials. I’ll be telling you also in the order my classes were assigned to me.

have always been the type of person to learn from my failures, and to try my absolute hardest to improve after them. One of my most memorable failures was with AP U.S. History, which I took Sophomore year. Like many of the other students, I was very laid back coming into class in the fall of 2014. I recall the lecture that our teacher, Mr. Hohenstein, gave us about keeping up with work and studying for tests. He specifically told us that you wouldn’t pass unless you gave your one-hundred percent. Despite all the important details and life lessons in his lecture, I didn’t heed most of his advice. After a few weeks had passed, our first test came around the corner. I thought that I was prepared, due to spending a couple of hours studying the

I am interested in being an EXPLORE OC, because I want to aid and mentor new Tulane students as they begin their first year as a college student. I understood what having a rocky transition was like, because I experienced the Baton Rouge flood first-hand. Seeing the waters and destruction of my childhood home was unsettling. However, what helped me was being able to reach out to others for support, especially to older Tulane students, who had experience moving into a new area and had to create new social circles. In addition, the volunteering scene was also another obstacle, because I had zero connections and was unknown to what was available to me and needed in the community. Because of my experiences at the beginning of freshman year, I want

Being a fundamental student has not always been easy. There has been sleepless nights and staying home during the weekends to finish all my school work. The most difficult class I took on was Ap Euro. Ap Euro had a fast learning pace. All of Europe's history was crammed in two semesters. Lots of information from the renaissance, the industrial revolution, to the scientific revolution was given in a short period. We were to learn all this from our textbooks which contains high frequency words. Everything I read seemed to enter one ear and out the other. My teacher Ms Evans was very helpful in breaking down the events. Ms Evans was very organized which made it a lot easier to study sections of Europe's history. My junior year is probably going to be my hardest year. The number one weakness I had this year was trying to do everything at once. I enrolled myself into lots

Throughout my four years of high school, my GPAs have been pretty good. Spring semester of freshman year was by far the best because I managed to end the year with a 4.0. However, my classes started to get a little more challenging to me and after that semester, my GPAs started to go down. I would have to say that my worst year was junior year. I ended the year off with four B’s and only three A’s. I would definitely have to say that I let my classes get the best of me that year. Now that it’s my senior year, I now know to never let stress interfere with my grades because it is not worth it. I hope I can achieve my goal of ending the year with a 4.0.

I have heard how amazing you are from many different people. I have also heard that your class is super difficult. I was tremendously nervous at first, but I think it will be a great year for the both of us. I have been told that you are a sweet heart but you should be feared and trust me you have the whole grade terrified. I know you frightened my brother Austin.

Tatter discussed possibility of a bill being passed that involves Tennessee schools earning a “letter” grade in addition to the state report card which is already in place. The purpose of assigning a letter grade to the schools was to help parents better understand schools’ overall performance.” Supporters of this bill state that this bill is a common sense aid to parents trying to navigate an increasingly complex school choice system” (Tatter). However, some argued that this letter grade assigned to the schools would only confuse parents because it does not give an adequate amount of information necessary to determine if a school is a good “fit” for their child. These “letter grades” are earned based on a combination of data, which included student growth and proficiency rates. The critics state that “letter grades lack nuance”, which “could oversimplify their status and circumstances, further stigmatizing schools and communities, especially those with low-income populations.” (Tatter).

Reacquaint yourself with the syllabus and see if there was anything that you missed that could help you be successful in your class. Always come to class prepared with whatever you're going to need for that particular class. Teacher's don't tend to like it when students are always asking each other for a physical item because they were incompetent in bringing their own. Make sure you take plenty of notes as that properly engages you in the class and helps you when you leave the class that day. Then, you use those notes and your textbooks to study. It's critical that you find 2-3 hours a week to study for that course. Also, don't fall behind on the new assignments the teacher give you, keep up with your grades, and feel free to ask questions whenever you need any. Teachers are here to help you succeed in that course, so make sure you use them as much as you may

I have learned so much in this class to prepare me for a successful college experience. There were some topics that caught my attention more than others. Such as, time and stress management, University resources, and critical thinking.
