At Lincoln, we had advisory every Tuesday and Thursday, which was very convenient for me. Here’s what I did, on those two days I did as much homework as I could in advisory. That helped me a lot because I only had about an hour or two of homework after school. After I started doing that, my time schedule started working in my favor and I was extremely proud of that. Secondly, I learned that it’s very important to join a club or maybe multiple ones.
We had finally completed high school and were ready to move on to the next step in our life: college. The moment the head master of my school had announced us as the graduating class of 2011, we all tossed our caps into the air and we were happier than ever. As soon as we paraded out of the ceremony, sadness began to emerge. We were saddened because most of us were moving on to different colleges and we were not going to be able to enjoy each other’s company everyday like we did in high school. Although many people have told me that the best times of your life are spent in college, I knew I would still miss my friends from high school as we moved on to the next chapter in our lives.
I was told that this was so because that week was carded for registration of new students. My new semester workload is still perplexing but it is not too much that I cannot handle. We are doing our work just as it is to be done and are accomplishing a lot more working as a class, for the most part. I haven’t encountered any problems in class to date, thank God. Things have really been looking up for me in many different ways; I was offered a part time job at the school itself as a student-employee.
During those periods I'd be able to finish homework or study for tests, leaving me more time to concentrate on all my extracurricular activities, sports and scholarship applications. Furthermore, if I do end up getting a terrible marks, I'd have an opportunity to be able to repeat the course. Looking at the amount of repetitive work we have to do everyday, my guess is that I won't do as good as I usually would in an English class. For example, it's very hard not to get bored with writing an outline, rough draft, second draft, and final copy all in the same day; it will drop my mark for sure. Additionally, there's something about essay and paragraph writing that just demands my full attention; summer school excellently provides this opportunity .
I was overly excited and nervous at the same time, preparing for my first year of college. I would be away from home with no adult supervision and the “college life” scene would be all new to me. Since I would be living on my own without my mom by my side as a reminder, I was responsible to make sure all the proper paperwork was completed and submitted on time in order for me to sign up for my first semester of classes and start college. At work I spent my lunch breaks making phone calls to the Veterans Department, each call patiently waiting to speak to a human after repeating responding to a robot on the line just to make sure all my documents was being processed such as my veteran educational benefits. College was a new start all over again.
By the 10th grade He got a job in mall so he can be able to buy name brand sneakers, clothes, cd’s, and movie tickets. In the 11th all he wanted was a girlfriend and a used car. He applied for college only having mediocre grades, he got excepted to a college. By the age of nineteen, he flunked out of college, which his parents paid for. He thought he could float through college like he did in high school, which he found out the hard way that without studying, doing assignments and attending classes you will not
You could also have time to finish your homework if you couldn’t the night before. This year on Wednesday, October 12 we took our PSAT’s and the seniors didn’t have to be at school until 11:30 in the morning because they didn’t have to take them. Instead they had to take the SAT’s but I don’t know the exact dates they would take them. I expected not to see any seniors in my classes that I have seniors in. But I was shocked to see all of them actually show up.
I figured that since I took Chemistry and Biology in High School that the classes wouldn't be difficult. What put me to my breaking point is when I had both of my first Exams in the same week and only a day apart, i didn't know how to study for either, all i kept telling myself was that I couldn't do it. I really do not believe that i was prepared to handle such a heavy course load all at once especially since I changed none of my habits and continued to study every other day, and hang out with my friends, and spend all my time on my phone instead of doing what I needed to get done in order for me to succed in all of my classes. My pride and my doubt in myself also play a big role in keeping me from being successful, it takes a lot for me to ask for help and study groups have never really worked out well for me, I end up not learning anything and getting distracted very easily. My Self-Doubt always seems to come in play the day before or during an exam, all it takes for me is to see one question I don't know the answer to or to study and be completely confused about something and I'll immediately start to tell myself that I can't do it or that i'm never going to get it and once i tell myself that I'll quit studying and if i'm taking a test i'll just start to rush through it.
I had never taken a real composition class before so when I started my first English class for college it most definitely was not easy, and learning to be an academic writer is something one cannot master right away. There are rules to follow and routines to guide me when writing, just like when being a Care Giver. The first few weeks of being a Care Giver vs. being an Academic Writer I would have to say were about the same, it was hard and very stressful. The first thing we learned in academic writing was the definition of it, which is pretty much breaking down ideas to better understand something by the use of deductive reasoning, a formal voice and the use of third person. To better
I was told that when you become a junior that’s when everything starts to get harder and you have to buckle down meaning no time for friends and really no weekend because it was going to require a lot of work, but I was sure that if I got through middle school, 9th and 10th grade that it would be no different than any other grade level class that I had taken already and passed. I was receiving an assignment in all classes to complete during the summer. I started the work, but it was so boring that I never finished the work. As time went on, my grades affected me, so I had to get tutoring if I wanted to be able to play football in the upcoming season. As I spent more time trying to bring up my grade in one class, my grades began to suffer in my other classes.
