My understanding of the term TRANSITION is: This is the process or period of changing from one state or condition to anther. A) Transitions commonly experienced by most children and young people: A common transition that most children and you people experience is moving schools/college. This transition may be daunting for the child or young person as they may be leaving their best friend behind. This could be because they are going to different schools/colleges. This could also make them very anxious as it is a new environment for them.
However, fear was seeping through me as the hours of walking to the building came nearer. Questions like “ What if they don't remember me?” , “ What if I don't fit in?” was hovering my brain as I was waking up to get ready for the first day. Everything had to be perfect, I mean its the big step to the rest of my life. Although, I wish I was prepared to what came ahead. Academically, my first year of high school was on a ball.
It will be difficult to avoid subjectivity based on my previous experiences in the field. I know that students with special needs have a particularly challenging time getting through school. My appreciation for this has changed over the past two years. I don’t believe I have the capacity to be a special education teacher, but I will always make time to help and would certainly encourage my students to be a part of anything that is happening in special education. I have assisted with children on all ends of the spectrum of Autism as well as one with Cerebral
Even if 5:00a.m. seems too early, I know that school is important for my future and also if I plan on doing that traveling while I’m in the military. I have bad days and I have good days, the bad days seem to outweigh the good days more than any but as long as I keep striving on harder than what I have been and those bad days will start looking up! My bad days are when I know my grades have dropped to where they shouldn’t be and I get mad at myself for letting them slip into that dark place of failing grades. My parents push me to be the best that I can be, which sometimes I don’t care what they are saying, don’t they understand that 9th grade is hard?
My ninth grade was pretty cool until the last week of school I let my mouth get the best of me and said some things that I really should’ve not said and because I did I earned the next semester at the alternative school. When school started back I was very sad because I had to go to the “bad” school with all the “bad” kids and I was very nervous. Once I got there it was pretty cool and I really enjoyed it because the classes were smaller and you got more one on one help. My grades went up and my mom decided that I should spend the rest of the year there, which really messed me up because they did not offer any elective classes only the basics . My eleventh grade year was also a disaster because of the struggle of passing my biology state test and I was really distracted and just wanted to go back to the alternative school but my mom and the principle would not send me back.
I thought that I would make friends right away and do well in school, but I did not. People were not only very judgmental but they would bully me for being different. At the age of nine or ten I could not understand why they hated me so much. There were many times where I would come home to my family crying my eyes out. It has taken me years to make good friends, but now that I have them I feel ambitious and more motivated.
I knew college wasn't a place for me. My grammar and punctuation was bad, and math was also, a poor subject for me too. I struggled a lot just to finish high school, I managed to make it through high school. I had to take it one day at a time. Sometimes, I didn't want to go to school because I knew I was going
Cons Cons of Year Round School There are some very strong reasons for not implementing a year round school schedule. These include, but are not limited, to: * Families with different children on different tracks have a difficult time. * With families that have multiple children in school, they will sometimes find it difficult to make plans for before or after school or to schedule family vacations. * School clubs like band, sports, theatre and cheerleading, have difficult time practicing with frequent breaks. * Teachers that coach these activities find that just because they are on vacation doesn’t mean the activity stops.
I am at the age where everything seems challenging. Coming to school early, doing the projects on time,getting a good grade in class. So in those standards my biggest challenge may seem insignificant but it will give a better understanding about me. My biggest challenge would be Cystic Fibrosis. I was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis, along with my sister in 2005.
I have always procrastinated about returning to school. Every year I always kept telling myself that I am going to return to school but I kept putting it off. After nine years of procrastination I finally decided to make up my mind and take that bid step and just do it. I am not just returning to school for myself but for my three sons. My kids are my motivation.
