Hello Ms. Makewski I hope you're having a great day! It's your student Leslie from 5th period. I just had a couple of announcements and concerns about staying in your class. If you remember we had a talk not long ago whether I should stay in a AP class, or transfer to a regular class. Well I'm happy to say that I'm putting education first I told my sensei (karate chief instructor) two weeks ago that I will no longer be going for a short amount of time due to academics which he was very conclusively understandable with, But I still have my concerns. I understand that of course in college it's going to become more challenging and I don't want to make it sound like I'm making excuses, but I'm not sure if I can certainly handle your class. I mean, …show more content…
With stating the facts I come home at 4 (No transportation) and I start my hw right away sometimes I forget to eat because I'm focused to trying to finish up and study, after that It's already around 8 or 9 so I take a shower and do what I got to do. So you see I spend my whole day doing Homework and right away it's mandatory for me to sleep at 10-11 because I'm lacking so much nutrients (skipping meals) lacking sleep, and of course I'm working hard on my mind. I'm sorry if this took out you time from your daily busy life, but I thought it was a good thing to let this out. The possible solutions I see to is either switching to a different class, or dropping out because changing sets will worsen the situation. I've already talked to Ms. Read and she said," You are able to drop out, But a meeting with you Ms. Majewski, My AP, Family member, and I to have a meeting.
CLASS is the most recent failure at the federal level to create a national program that provides long-term care insurance. The ACA attempted to work around the fact by making CLASS a voluntary and self-sustaining program under difficult political constraints, policymakers tried to walk a narrow line; they aimed to offer a substantial benefit. CLASS would have been unsustainable and would still have left beneficiaries exposed to substantial costs. One positive note, CLASS brought long-term care back onto the federal policy agenda after a 20 years absence, serving as an important reminder that the nation's current to financing long-term care is adequate.
Is there ever an instance when a M.Ed. cohort student does not have to take EDUC 635? I have had 2 students, 1 reading and 1 C&I, call to ask if they need to take 635. The C&I student said his professor talked about 630 being different for those taking 635 and those not. The reading student said 635 did not show on her advising sheet, which it does on all the advising sheets I have. The first time I was asked the question, I assumed there was some confusion with the professor, but when I got the same question twice in 2 days it made me wonder if I had missed something.
In this portion of Sanders’s Becoming a Learner, he describes the outcomes of becoming a learner. Sanders states four outcomes of becoming a learner: creativity, critical thinking, communication skills, and better character. I consider both communication skills and depth of character to be of equal importance, but for the sake of this journal, I believe the development of communication skills is most important and will have a critical impact on my career and my life. First off, let me state that I would like to pursue a career in editing, and to have any business at all, I will need to have good communication skills so I can form a trusting relationship with my clients, otherwise they may take their business elsewhere. More importantly, I intend to become a wife and a mother, and strong relationships are
I also just can’t help but be inspired by great leaders throughout history who saw a change and then made it happen, and although my knowledge is limited, I admire and am encouraged by them. Specifically I have learned so much about African-Americans’ struggle throughout history, and how it is still an issue today. Understanding the past of issues really helps with the way we perceive it today. I’ve also learned not to judge people, and to never write someone off based on a single experience. To be honest Mr.Peters, first semester I did not really like you. It was nothing about your personality, I was just struggling in the class and I projected my frustrations onto you. And although you gave me my first B, I have come to love and respect you as a teacher. Now, you’re my favorite teacher, and I’m sad that this year is over. I appreciate your constantly positive demeanor and the way you joke around
Since I started ENG 101 my diction has expanded dramatically in such a short period of time and I am very thankful for that! If I am able to make it to your ENG 102 class I would have maintained this sophisticated use of word choice in time for university so I can show off the writing skills you taught me! Besides how are other teachers going to teach me english when you are the best teacher that has ever taught me? I have learned many new writing techniques and styles that will help me for the future and you have established my love for english as I never really liked any of my english classes. It would be very heart breaking to see all this great work you have have led just go to waste.
I’ve learned a lot of useful tips from this semester in ENG 201. English has never been my strong suit nor has it been my favorite class. However this college course has changed my point of view of the subject. Prior coming into college I viewed English as a useless class because I’ve already knew the basics: how to talk, read and write essays. Today I view English as an important class. It helped me in other courses that involved writing, such as World Civilization and Communications, because it allowed me to practice my skills. In my world civilization exams I had to write essays. This course helped me write an impactful essay. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that almost all of my exam scores were in the 90s, usually I do poorly in the
I needed to figure out a way to balance my school work, baseball activities, and leisure time. After all, the main reason I decided to come to Concordia College was because I received a baseball scholarship and the academics here are pretty good. I got off to a bad start by leaving assignments for the last minute. I eventually realized that I needed to leave more time for doing my assignments and studying for tests/ quizzes. The professor’s here at Concordia College are very understanding and want to help you succeed. Whenever I needed an extension for an assignment, it would be granted if it’s for a good reason. Later on in the semester, I began to spend numerous hours doing work for my classes and I would end up going to sleep at 2 or 3 in the morning. After doing this for a while, it became habitual. Now even when I don’t have any work to do, I can’t fall asleep until 2 a.m. It’s a bad habit, but at least when I need to write a paper late at night I could power through
I began to fall behind and continued to stay behind in two of my classes. I started to skip many assignments because I did not manage my time well. My goal wasn’t reinforced because I didn’t read it before making a choice or evening trying to remember it. I realized that I was letting myself down and I wasn’t doing what I needed to do and that all my grades were slipping. I work twelve hour shifts that cause me to become very tired. I began to correct myself by staying up after I got off work and I made myself do two to three assignments before I was allowed to go to sleep. By staying awake after work I got to study more and with a clearer mind understood better, and gave myself a treat by relaxing
Hello my dear friend! I hope you are doing well. I am just writing to let you know that I finally started my semester at STCC. As you know, I missed the last two semesters due to situations that got out of my hands. I have a new job, but I also switched to Liberal Arts. At the moment, I am enrolled as a full-time student. My husband says I might regret it, because it can get overwhelming for me due to the language barrier, and having too much in my plate. Although, he might be right about having too much; I will do my best to finish this semester with good grades. One of the classes I signed up to is History-110, section E80. My professor’s name is John Diffley. I do not know him yet since it is my first week in school, but he seems to love
Physical Science doesn’t only teach us to think scientifically but also to think logically and imaginatively. In NatSci 101 Summer Class that I’ve enrolled, I met a lot of people from different colleges; we were more than fifty students in the class. I didn’t have the chance to talk to some of them but there were some of my classmates whom I became friends with. At first, I thought that this summer class will be boring and I’ll get to spend six weeks of stu-dying. There were times that I just want to skip class because I’m so sleepy but then I realized that being sleepy was not a valid reason. But as time goes by, things turned out the way I didn’t expected. I began to enjoy being with these kinds of people, especially when discussions were interrupted by jokes and every one of us began to laugh. When we first met our Instructor in NatSci101 all of us, including me got terrified especially when she was introducing herself and discussing her rules, she was strict and she talks really fast. Whenever she calls someone to recite or answer her question, I instantly bow my head down or avoid eye contact so I won’t be called. She’s strict but she had a reason to be one. Another thing that I admired about my Instructor is that she’s considerate and fair towards
In life, there are always failures of everything. As college students, we are experiencing endless stress, anxiety and fear failure. I remembered back in my sophomore year, I enroll in this accounting 201 class for my major’s requirement. The first week of class is simple, but after the third and fourth week, it gets harder and harder. There are many business concepts and words that are new to me. It is really hard to catch up in the class, sadly I have failed the first exam. I feel so blue. After that, I go to the professor’s office in purpose to ask him for advises of how to improve in the class. Then he advises me to drop the class because his materials in the class are straightforward and there is nothing he can do to help. It breaks my heart, after hearing him says that.
After reading “On Becoming a Better Student” by Donna Farhi Schuster, I started to think about some of the idea she mentioned. I have always been a curious person. I have always wanted to learn more about what I was interested in, but that stopped in high school. Expressing interest in something in high school was not something I did often. I was so overwhelmed with busy work in school that I was exhausted by the time I had time to actually sit down and research something I was interested in.
It’s not that I don’t enjoy literature, it’s just I’m not the best with it. The star reading test is what made me realize I’m not the best with literature, in middle school all my friends would always get advanced scores and I would just have basic scores. Sometimes this made me really mad, I want to be good at everything I do and whenever I’m not I get upset.
When the alarm clock sets off at 6:00 A.M., it's another grueling morning that follows with making the bed, washing up, dressing, and leaving to take the bus by 7:00 A.M. Sometimes, you're lucky enough to get a ride or drive yourself to school to get an extra five to ten minutes of sleep and squeeze in breakfast, hoping you make it in time for first period at 7:45 A.M. A daily routine like this is all too familiar and high school is a challenge for students, more than just academically. For four years, high school students face a similar routine of waking up in the early hours of the morning to head to school before 8 o'clock, for five days a week.
College students like myself often put off sleep for other activities like studying, doing homework or even just staying up all night with a friend. Our body follows the twenty-four hour cycle of each day and night through a biological clock called the Circadian rhythm. On the weekdays, staying up all night and skipping meals makes it difficult to focus in class. After lunchtime, I become sleepy and have difficulty focusing on my other classes. In the afternoon, this affects my body because it does not give me energy, but instead it makes me crash earlier in the day.
