What Is Worthy Of 9th-Grade Honor

On the first day of school I was in a class full of students. Oh, I hated my first day of classes very much because I could not handle the thought of having to introduce myself to everyone especially with the problem I had. I sat there nervously as I observed the others confidently and happily introducing them self to the audience. I just had the urge to slip under my chair and just hide there until I could escape my turn. Unfortunately, I could not avoid my turn and ended up introducing myself. "HiiiimynameeisJaskiran." As my face filled with embarrassment and humiliation, I thought of all the possible thoughts that approached the minds of the other students in response to me attempting to introduce myself. All too common I could imagine students saying, "Did she happen to forget her name?", "Can she talk a little slower?", or "What is wrong with her?". Times like this, made me wonder about my lack of speech skills in front of a group of people. Why do I either speak so fast-- where what I say sounds like one word-- or when I speak I am not able to clearly pronounce the syllables of a word? As I began to research, I realized this difficulty, complicated style of speaking is called stuttering. Why do people stutter? A mystery that has yet to be unraveled.

I believe that I should be in English 9 honors for freshman year. I think this because I have worked really hard to get where I am in school and think that I can only improve. Honors English is a challenge I would like to work for. This year most of my grades in ELA have been 3.5s although there are people that get better grades I am willing to improve and push to be in a high level class. I would like to push to the best of my abilities in high school and work hard and being in an honors class would let me be able to do that. The work load will not bother me because I believe it is worth it. In high school I would like to challenge myself in ways I never got to in middle school. I am looking to learn at a faster pace than I have been learning

Being seated in 9th-grade honors is an opportunity I need to be worthy of in this essay by making clear of my strengths, my fighting weaknesses, and bringing about a more desirable person in me. I wished to be forced to my limits in an honors class.

I began to understand my need for advanced coursework while still in high school. As I completed those first assignments in courses like W131 something profound began to happen to me, I started making meaningful intellectual discoveries. Although not science related, writing those exploratory essays allowed me to discover my voice, and with my voice, I was able to reveal my abilities and ambitions, not just to others but also, most importantly to myself. I might have completed that self-discovery with any general writing and science courses however, the recognition as a student in an Honors program meant prospective schools understood that I was one of the best students in my school. Fast forward, a couple of years and the revelation of needing

In fact, one of the reasons that I am most excited to go to college is because of the more intense and rigorous learning. In some of my high school classes, I have enjoyed learning about the subject matter, but the pace of the class was too slow for my liking. I prefer a more investigative style of schooling that allows me to be a part of a more engaging learning environment, and I know that I will find in the Honor’s program. I would also appreciate being part of the Honors Residential Learning program because I enjoy being surrounded by other studious individuals with equally academic

Growing up I was one to develop the mental mind block of fear. When it came to anything out of my comfort zone, I wanted no part of it. This problem I faced had many effects on my life and still tries to get the best of me today. One of the effects it had on me was a lack of communication skills. When it came time to talk in class I was the one hunkered down at my desk hoping the teacher wouldn’t call on

Let me start by saying this, I have many strengths but some are weak. The best strength that I have of the twelve techniques for improving creative abilities is Learn to know and understand yourself. I have a strong understanding of my personality and who I am. On the other hand, there are a few techniques that have room for improvement and that is keep track of your ideas at all times.

The communication challenges I had in beginning of this class was learning how to break habit's for example using filler words. In my first intro speech sometimes I would use words like "um or " so during breaks and pauses during a speech. I would sometimes blank out in a middle of a speech in combination with filler words . Also this would bring anxiety while speaking

I was never the one to go out of my way to speak to someone but throughout the years I have been more open with others. Like a lot of people in the beginning of high school I had so many friends, people who I thought I can trust but my sister was right and you learn not to trust everyone. I learned how to pick out what I can say and who I can say it to. I’ve made progress with speaking to others without being shy, being able to just be myself. I also got into sports during my sophomore year. I played soccer in the fall (field hockey senior year for my fall sport), managed wrestling in the winter, and played lacrosse in the spring. It kept me occupied and help me expand my horizons and let me escape all the drama. This is how I learned to talk

When I was younger, I was very quiet and kept to myself; I was very reserved, but I always had a lot of friends. With my friends, I was able to communicate myself very well, but with everyone else, not so much. I remember asking my mom what do I say? to people, like some family, distant relatives, and friendly strangers. I hated the awkward silences whenever I was with someone I did not know well, so my mom told me to read. I did not do this right away, but when I did, my verbal (and written) communication skills drastically improved. However, I may have improved my talking skills, my listening skills needed to “catch up.” I became somewhat of a loud mouth—and I certainly did not want to be considered such a thing. When I became conscious of this, I started to work

Every encounter I had wasn’t too pleasant. As someone with social anxiety disorder and a natural speech impediment, it’s been hard for me to participate in classroom discussions. I’ve been cautious and aware of my speech. As someone who used to have a heavy Latino accent when I was younger I was picked on for it. Now, I’ve overcome that but I still hold my awareness with my natural stuttering and fumbling of words. However, I do my best talking to people. Numerous times, I’ve been told I’m aloof and hard to talk to. It’s just I’m super introverted and need a common ground in interest. I have special interests that I will not shut up about. With communication, there’s like all things, positive and negative aspects to it. Negative communication can make fun of others and damage the receiver in various ways.

I have discovered before, that I am not confident enough of what I say even in a daily communication. After every lecture, my cohort and myself would go outside or get a coffee. I have been to quiet standing amongst them only listening and having no argument to express.

At times, the speaking tasks progress slowly and students are hesitant to talk. They often stop to think about the accuracy of what they are going to say and always benefit from discussing their ideas in pairs before engaging in the activity.

However, one thing I never had a problem doing was speaking in front of my friends. They knew I had a problem speaking, but they never seemed to mind. They would help me whenever I needed a few words. They never judged me for my speech impediment. My friends were actually jealous because I was the only one to get out of class. They would tell me, “Gosh, you are so lucky to get out of class every day during Language.” Or, “How cool would it be if we went to speech

I need an environment where the people around me have a similar interest in developing discussions and solutions. I need an advisor that does not question my ambitious goals to minor in French, run for multiple leadership positions, study abroad twice, and research throughout college, but instead, supports them. I need a chance to take exclusive classes that introduce me to topics I would never otherwise have the opportunity to study. But most importantly, I know I belong in the Honors Program because this application was single handedly the stimulus that stirred my eureka
