Drill team gave me the knowledge that grades in high school do play an important role in life and I knew that if I put enough heart into it I would succeed. My coaches made an impact on me because they differentiated me from other and made me realize that I made a huge difference to the team. They gave me the opportunity to showcase what I had, which made me sense I was notable and helped to raise my confidence. I have never been able to adjust to situations as well as others but the confidence I gained from drill team experiences helped to change that. My confidence plays a big role in the person I am today.
I quickly began to attend college classes through my employer to make gains in my career and try to possibly secure my future. I had no idea until this point the many advantages that college was going to provide for me if I allowed it to. Continuing on in the job I had accepted it opened opportunities to study courses to get me promoted and increase my wages which bettered my lifestyle for me and my family and made things easier. I had finally found a job that I was happy in and chances to increase my thirst for knowledge as I could continue my education as long as I wanted. I finally had self- confidence and the drive to make the most of my career as I neared completion of Banker’s College.
When I came to know that I have been asked to take English remedial class, I was a bit mad at first, but then I thought that this class would make me better. I view remedial classes as practice, very much like professional athletes view training, because the best athletes practice to become better. As well, once students complete a degree with finishing the English remedial and begin seeking employment, they will find many companies emphasize good communication skills. So, It doesn’t matter if you know everything or nothing, what matters is that you benefit in every class (even if it’s a remedial). Soon, after my graduation I will be joining my dad’s business.
That day when the women came to speak, and class was over, I put myself in her shoes see what she went thru; it is hard to try to talk over like 30 kids in one room. I felted so bad I wanted to apologize to the woman but I was too late. I was paying attention; I wanted to tell her that I am sorry for how my classmates acted with no self-control. That we mad the LPP program have a bad name. I bet now she does not want to come back because of our behavior, and the way we acted like
I mean, sure, grades are very motivational, but they are also very harming. Countless suicides are caused by grades and pressure, and I think it just really isn’t necessary to put a student on the spot like that. Let’s say a student makes straight A’s. That’s great in most cases, but does it really self-motivate the student into learning more, or does it give them a little lee-way to slack off and maybe not study as much? Or let’s say that a student gets straight C’s.
The grad student felt very sadden about the experiment and she put an premature end to the study. In Stanley Milgrams experiment he found that people are surprisingly likely to follow the directions not only of legitimate authority figures but also of groups of ordinary individuals, even when it
As time went on I realized that I needed so much more. I know now that teachers are here to teach us and what we learn is valuable throughout life. My GPA is important to my future and so is my ACT’s. With this said, I hope that I end up in a great college and a great
College At Last! Starting college later in life can be a rewarding experience. Going Back to college has given me a sence of achievement, Also has made me a better role model for my children, and also will bring better carrer opportunities within the near future.

As for the first grade of an (A) I received for my first course. This has made my critical thinking skills to explode with the strength to learn as much as I can to earn the best grades I can in order to prove to myself that I made the best choice of all the alternatives that I had to choose from. I have explored where I can use my new found skills of critical thinking, and I have expressed that critical thinking skills have come in a really effective way on how I handle situations at work in order to keep a calm, cool and collected mind control. I have learned since my critical thinking skills have improved they have also kept me focused on concentrating to receive my degree to build a better life and
Everyone here is just as important whether they are the starter on the team or come off the bench. This attitude you have that you’re the best option makes me sick. Jacob there is no I in team. Not only did you miss practice yesterday your selfishness also caused you to let your teammates down. So I want you to go stand over there and starting tomorrow you’re moving back down to junior varsity.” At this moment I was completely irate and could have thrown my helmet down and quit right then and there.
