I am very interested in starting a specific service project my junior year for CAS hours and this would be a great help to me with that. I think that I would be a valuable attendee to CASL because I am a freshman. Anything I learn can be used for all the rest of my four years of high school. I would also be a valuable attendee to the CASL conference because I would easily be able to make up the work that I miss on that Monday from school. I am also one of the older ones out of all my classmates so I would like to go to CASL so that I can learn to be a better leader to those who might look up to me.
It has been a long time since I have been in school and I am not as confident as I want to be yet. I will continue writing as I have found out that it relaxes me and I am able to put my thoughts on paper. I would have to say the persuasive argument assignment has been the most challenging to me but I welcomed it and hope I did an ok
Through my high school career, I always followed the motto of receiving and completing one task and then moving onto the next. Therefore, I would have to say that I have always been the type that reads “with the grain.” I would rather work with the author’s ideas as opposed to reproducing an argument in terms of my own personal experience. In other words, arguing is not my area of expertise. When I read a book, I often think of the work put into the writing and place myself in the writer’s situation. I find myself lost in thought of how they create ideas to generate their writings and find this to be a difficult task.
It was a feat on its own being able to balance my time for school, sports, and family/friends. Now I had the challenge of balancing work, extra-curricular projects, and many other things that are connected with living the life of a college student. The equilibrium in my life was no more, but I was able to assess the situation and plan for the challenges ahead. I broke down the many commitments I had made to associations, and decided that I would balance my efforts accordingly so I could achieve success in the most important of my endeavors. My grades did take a slight decline during my first two years of college, for sports and work consumed large chunks of my time.
Cari Buckley At the beginning of the semester, I thought I had a general knowledge of how to write a well thought-out paper with interesting hooks and developed paragraphs. Although I am still nowhere near a perfect writer or even qualified as a great writer, I feel that I have learned the skills necessary to hone and improve my abilities. I am almost positive that it will take a lot of work and dedication to perfect language as a tool of power, but I know that my newfound knowledge will help me on my journey. Throughout the entire semester, the research paper and the radical revision really helped open my mind to language as power. Because I wrote my paper on something that I feel very passionate about, I realized how easy and hard it is
My Writing Has Improved this Semester! Have you ever had to take a class and thought, “This is going to be the death of me?” I’m sure everybody has thought that. Usually the classes that you hate the most; are the ones that are more beneficial. As in my case, ENC 91has taught me several important concepts on becoming a stronger writer. My writing has improved this semester tremendously.
Lauren Benzing Ms. Nielsen English 9 6 November 2009 Year-Round Schooling: A Beneficial Opportunity Students, do you often feel bored at the end of summer? Do you hate forgetting material you have previously learned? Teachers, isn't it frustrating to have to waste precious class time re-teaching and reviewing things that students have already learned, but forgot? Year-round school would be a simple, yet beneficial solution to these problems. For many reasons, a year-round school schedule would be a great leap forward for the education systems of America, which are lacking compared to European and Asian ones (Holland).
_When I walked into SNAPS class I had mixed thoughts on how the semester would go, but as the school year is wrapping up, I am pleased with the new knowledge I have on autism. Throughout the year I had great pleasure working with Anders. I also enjoyed finding new ways to motivate him into working and make him smile. Not only did the book help explain problems with Anders and the solutions, but it also expanded my knowledge on autism. Although I am exited for summer, I am going to miss SNAPS class and the learning that came from it.
Year round school runs on a system where students go to school for a month and then get a week off and repeat. The common myth about year round schooling is that a student have to go to school for more than 180 days. In reality year round schooling is just as long as traditional schooling. SOLUTIONS A reason for year round school is that it is more fiscally efficient. Since year round schooling has one group of students that are on vacation for a week while the rest of school is in secession, it allows for class room space to be used more and a single teacher would Evers # be able to teach more students because of the way that year round schooling is set up.
When I decided to go back to school, knew that college would help me refresh my brain in certain areas that I may need improvement on. I also returned to school because I want a job that will fit with me. Since I have been out of high school, I have had quite a few jobs. The jobs that were employed at, I knew that those jobs were what I did not want to have a career out of for the rest of my life. So, after all the different jobs I had back to back and me not being satisfied with either one.
