Before I came to America, I really concerned about my academic studies. I want to be an excellent student like when I was in China. But I do not have confidence in my English ability. “I cannot compete with American students because their first language is English,” I said to my friends when we talked about my “exciting” life after I go to America. Some friends reduced my pressure by their understanding about American students; “All they like to do is join in the party; you will never see them studying in the library more than three hours.
He stopped doing it after a while so I slowly stopped cringing when he came in the room. 3. My dad offered us to get me and my brother a gift if we would get straight A’s in all our classes. I decided to take him up on the offer and get straight A’s and my brother just decided
Before the war began, RSJDC goals were to train deaf children to earn their living and to instruct them in religion (109). At first, Eileen was scared to attend RSJDC because she thought she would not see her family, but those feelings of her changed. She was comfortable to be at school, because she was able to sign and understand what others were saying and others understanding her back. For children like them, it was their special place (108). One day there was a sudden change that Eileen did not know what was happening or where they were going.
I felt guilty because Chuck had no idea I hired a divorce lawyer. Three weeks passed and the feelings were no longer guilt. Replaced by loneliness, anxiety and determination I would spend the next two years fighting for my kids.
I think the CAHSEE is out of the question, there's already other tests in the end of year to make sure we're learning. When I first heard of the CAHSEE test, I didn't take it as seriously. I didn't believe that my high school career depended all on a test. I know my cousin took prep classes which she didn't take so serious but ended up passing, in her first try. She is pretty smart and she says it was easy just some questions were

Amanda Nicole English1301 1/25/2012 The earliest memory I have is of moving to Texas at age 13. The day before I left, all my friends got together and took me to a movie. We watched Titanic. I remember teasing my best friend, Ryan, because he was crying at the end of it. The next day the movers finished packing all of our stuff from our two story house in Pinson, Alabama.
At the start of my continuing my education, I reluctantly made the wrong choice. Criminal Justice was a career choice that I had chosen based on the high demand of Juvenile Probation Officers. Ignoring my original dream of becoming a Social Worker, I was unhappy in my studies. Though, very interesting, this direction was not for me. After one year of core competency study.
When Atticus volunteered me to show Scout to school her first day, I wasn’t too pleased. He didn’t even ask me. When I tried to confront him about it he stopped, smiled, reached into his pocket and pulled out three shiny pennies. I took them without question.

History was quite a challenge like I had expected. Being in a college level class taught me how to manage my time wisely. At first it was hard because I was so used to having a limited quantity of homework, that when my AP teacher gave us our six page assignment I was flabbergasted.

Besides taking an AP Course in school I took a Political Science course at Hunter College.
