I had an answer, but I struggled terribly with putting it down on paper because I wanted this interview to “be perfect”. I was too worried about what I looked like or sounded like, so ultimately I had lost “my voice.” I went to my dad for more help. I had wasted a whole hour stressing over how to answer a few questions about myself. My dad told me something very important that day, he said, “The best way to impress someone is to be you”. After meditating on what he said to me I had at least something to put down.
Everyone always says “High School is the best years of your life.” And to me that sounds like a pretty big statement to live up to. How is High school supposed to be this amazing time when people don’t want to get involved in anything, because everything is boring, or lame, or none of our friends are going? If you elect me as class president, I volunteer myself as one of these leaders, to guide you to success and an amazing sophomore year. And lastly, as your sophomore class president, I would just like to say, this is high school. We only have four years here - and think about how quickly our first year has already
He is always giving more evidence stating that the Indians were not being taken care of unless the British needed them for war. His evidence all points back to his thesis, saying that the Indians fought really well and so the British would always try to make them happy when they knew they might be going to war soon. He really only has one primary source that he uses throughout the essay, and that is previous writings by
I do not have any misconceptions about writing I'm just very out of practice and I'm sure with time it will become a lot easier and feel more natural. I need to focus on staying on topic, grammar and punctuation. I tend to go off topic once I get another idea something similar but not part of the idea I was going for in my paper. In order to improve this weakness is by keeping my ideas organize will help me stay on topic After reading chapter one it gave me a new motivation to learn about writing. I have always just gave myself the excuse that I am not a good writer and that’s how I am going to live.
I accepted their answers too, though they were often in contradiction and even self-contradictory. I was naive. I was looking for myself and asking everyone except myself questions which I, and only I, could answer.'' ( Ellison, Ralph. Invisible Man 11) The narrator certainly profited from behaving that way since he got the chance to go to college in the end: ''On my graduation day I delivered an oration in which I showed that humility was the secret, indeed, the very essence of progress.''
I’ve always had a hard time turning in any homework and this is the year I need to start doing it. I think by doing these things I will meet my goal of graduating. Another goal I would like to me this year would to improve my essay writing skills. I’ve never had a real hard time with essays but there is always room for improvement. In English this year I will have to
I strived to succeed, so when I didn’t do my best I would get very upset with myself and try harder until I was the best. I hate the feeling of failure especially when I knew that I had tried my very hardest. My parents always told me try your hardest or don’t try at all, so anytime I lost at something I felt like I was letting them down. Like I said before the best feeling in the world is when your parents show pride in you, well how awesome that feels is coinciding with how horrible it feels when they are upset with me. Through the years I have learned what I am good at and what I don’t excel in.
Even though it seems as the easy way out, I need to stop this procrastination that has been with me or my future will not look too promising. When I attended Sweetwater Union High School, this is where my procrastination began as a student. Starting in 11th grade is when I began slacking off and becoming lazy due to the fact that I always knew I was going to graduate high school any way. Having that
My confidence is not boosted from a compliment, but by an ‘A’ on my College English paper. I would rather pay for an ACT prep book than a Victoria’s Secret push-up bra. That is how my mind was trained to work. Ambition encompasses my being. I see not panoramic, but in tunnel vision; my prize is at the end and I continue walking until I reach it.
All right, you do not want to talk on TeamSpeak, so I will just annoy you with another big ass text and hope that you reply in the next 20 hours. What I wanted to talk about is that I do not really feel close to you, and this fact dejects me — there is a reason I am much more open with Maurits and other people than with you. They are ALWAYS there to answer, I can message them at any time of the day and they will answer instantaneously and keep the conversation going, and tell me about their own day, while with you, I am lucky if I get a “Nice” or “lol” as a reply in 2 hours, what makes me feel as but an acquaintance of yours. You also seldom start colloquies, and your chilly laconism and placid attitude towards me make me wonder if you shun
