Jamison Mullen Ms.Cramer Final reflective essay 5/24/12 It’s been a long hard year for all the students that took English 10. It’s good that people take English because it affects the way we talk, live, and function in day to day life. I can say personally English helped my writing tremendously. I could hardly write essays due to my bad grammar and the inability to punctuate my words and sentences I’ve come a long way. It was worth every question and worksheet to where I am now.
Erma, I know exactly how you feel. I was so overwhelmed when I sat down to try to get started and even though I am almost done with my essay, I can honestly say that this was one of the hardest assignments that I have ever had to do. I have always been bad at writing and I think I hurt my writing process by going in to this with the attitude that I was not going to do that well. I remember 5 weeks ago, just sitting in front of my computer screen and I could not think of one single thing to write. I chose the topic comparing traditional school to online school becasue I am in this situation and thought that it would be an easy thing to write about but now when I look back, I should have chose something that I didn't know anything about.
Maureen Guillaume October 30th,2013 Engl 11000 A3 Professor Nalani Samuel Without a doubt I am clearly addicted to my phone and sickly dependent on listening to my music. It has reach a point where I must have music on in order to do study or do homework. Without music no work gets done. Music is literally my momentum to get me going. After conducting this experiment of being unplugged for 12 hours my conclusion is that I cannot well function without music.
That’s how it must be for Charlie, ever since he regressed. The whole experiment failed and he is the one who paid the biggest price. He will always look back at his previous progress report and look at his grammar and how much he knew. Now he can’t even use normal everyday vocabulary. He will always remember how much he once loved Miss Kinnian so much and now he can’t even talk to her right without having her cry.
Telling my parents was also a problem, much like Anna who took five years before admitting to her mother that she needed professional help. It gets really bad to a point that you can’t eat anymore, sleep is nearly impossible and crying becomes
Death Scenario Lakesha Jackson May 11, 2015 PSY/225 Positive Psychology Instructor Claire Clifford This paper was really hard for me to write. It took me back to a time that I suffered the greatest loss in my life. It really hit home with me and brought back some suppressed memories that I did not want to recall. Although I have not been through this myself, I did lose seven family members to a house fire. Doing this paper brought back all the memories of hearing the cries and screams for help that they were shouting as they were burning to death, with no way out.
(NEA Today).” Seven hours is a lot of the day working all day and we never stop five days a week and we have homework which is bad for us, it makes us tired.” Decades ago, the American Educational Research Association released this statement: “Whenever homework crowds out social experience, outdoor recreation, and creative activities, and whenever it usurps time that should be devoted to sleep (Scholastic news).” Kids need to play outside and have a social life they need to enjoy their free time but there is no free time because of all the homework. Kids through 6-12th and college need less homework because we already have seven hours of
Valerie Dr. Brister ENG 110 31 October 2011 Where is my #2 and composition book?! Since becoming a student at VCSU just a couple months ago I have seriously questioned not only my intelligence but, my communication skills as well. Numerous times my stress level from having to use the computer in ways I have never even heard of has been incredibly overwhelming. My facebook page has several comments posted by me about the technology these days, and wondering what happened to a number 2 pencil, a notebook, and books. The generation has been called the dumbest; I have been considering myself the dumb one.
Celebrating an event with twenty five children is not easy. The second stage is analyzing the problem and its causes. After a few months I realized that my assistant was leaving early every time there was a party. Her leaving early was a huge problem for me, because it added more work for me and also doubled the stress. I then began to search and choose an alternative way to resolve this problem which is the third and fourth stage of problem solving.
If I would invest the time needed to organize I would have received a better grade. English has never been my forte in high school; I failed one whole semester because I was infected with senioritis. My mentality was that I didn’t HAVE to do anything because graduation was just around the corner, but boy was I wrong. This set of mentality pushed me back in my senior year and it prohibited me from enjoying my last year as my friends were living it up at all the parties while I was home finishing up my online class as a result of my failure. Online classes required self determination and a lot time.
