When asked to choose an elective I immediately veered toward an easy and enjoyable class; math was the obvious choice. Most students went out of their way to avoid it. Friends gave me funny looks after learning I was voluntarily taking advanced math classes. To me it was exciting and I desired to keep learning more. At work about a year ago, I had seen a job posting for a Medical Accounting position.
It was becoming more complex, especially in math. I enjoyed the challenge even if I didn’t fully understand, so I would ask my friends at school for help. They would always be happy to, and even laughed with me about the silly mistakes I would make because I was never careful to pay attention to
Diary of a Wimpy Kid In Diary of a Wimpy Kid, a 2010 children’s comedy based on books written by Jeff Kinney, Greg Heffley is 6th grader trying to navigate his way through his new middle school as well as middle childhood development. Many people in his life influence his journey and impact his actions, emotions, and views. Roger, his older brother, is the kind of cocky brother who’s always teasing and beating him up. His younger brother, Manny, is the annoying brother and is a source of embarrassment for Greg. Manny potty trains while eating cereal and he calls Greg “Bubby”, which, according to Greg, is too childish.

It took determination, a lot of studying and two years, but I finally managed to pass the Algebra II Trigonometry Regents. Some New York schools changed the curriculum, and instead of teaching Geometry before Algebra II Trigonometry, they reversed it to accommodate the more difficult Regents exams. The problem with that was that students weren’t learning the correct math subtopics that were going to be on the test. The first Algebra II Trigonometry Regents that I took in June 2010 was after completing the entire full year course. When I first opened the test, I realized that some of the topics included were never taught.
Pi, tired of being made fun of for his name, narrates how he wrote his new nickname on the board; “for good measure I added Π = 3.14 and I drew a large circle, which I then sliced in two with a diameter, to evoke that basic lesson of geometry.” There is a great repetition of numbers after the point, which is symbolic of the daily repetitive routine which Pi inherited after the climax, being the ‘point.’ This ties in with the theme of existence, in that, as humans, we live our lives to a mundane, similar routine almost every day; Pi forgets about the essence of time during his struggle to survive, and eventually survival becomes so routine, that it simply just becomes part of his daily existence. The many numbers also represent the theme of Belief; there is a Suspension of Disbelief on how true Pi’s story is, and the author has created layers of storytelling to mask the true reality of Pi’s story so that people can still be able to read about it, but at the same time understand it. The ‘Pi’ symbol also can be an approximate fraction of 22/7, which symbolizes the 227 days which Pi survived in the Pacific Ocean. Furthermore, the ‘Pi’ symbol is used to measure the circumference of a circle, which represents that although Pi
Roxana Useda ENC 1101 Professor Cash November 30, 2012 Why Trust the FCAT? Have you ever felt when taking the FCAT you are wasting your time? Over the years students have been required to take a test that will evaluate them on how well they do. The FCAT is given to obtain an insight on how much students are learning on three main subjects, science, reading, and math every year. Despite the benefits teachers and schools obtain, standardized testing like the FCAT is not effective in evaluating student’s performance because not all students learn at the same level, they fall under pressure, and they are being taught just for the test which prevents from learning skills that are yet to be learned.
Ashequlla Qudratulla World Literature I Anival S Gonzalez JR 2/16/13 Medea School Version With a chemistry lab partner like Jason I had in Northwest Vista, I felt like I was unstoppable. We always had fun doing the labs, mixed random chemicals to get cool colors mixed up with bubbles, but one day he decided to leave me as his lab partner for Glauce for better grades on his labs. I was so angry with the actions of Jason for leaving me as his lab partner for someone else, we had two uncompleted labs we never got to finish that I had do it myself now. I got so angry doing the labs myself while Jason had fun with his new lab partner Glauce, I had to get even to what he did to me. People in class told me to let it go and move on but I felt
Rite of Passage BSHS 342 September 19, 2011 Babara Kennedy Rite of Passage A high school boy, 16 years old passed his math exam. Math was not Robert’s favorite subject so he had to study really hard for it. His parents said how well he was studying and promised to teach him how to drive if he gets a B and would give him a car if he gets an A in his finals and if he passes the driving test. Robert literally spent time in the library daily receiving extra tutoring from a friend John, he meets at the library. Robert forgot about his x-box and had less time for his friends Mike and Sean, who didn't think he needed to study as hard as he was doing.
