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. Though the paper was due within three days I still felt like I was struggling.After completing the assignment I knew I conquered the Challenging assignment. Besides taking an AP Course in school I took a Political Science course at Hunter College.
One of the biggest and most obvious goals I have set would be graduating high school. This should be a pretty easy goal to accomplish but I do need to watch myself in some of my classes. Some of the big things I need to do to meet this goal are improving my neatness, not being lazy and actually turning assignments, and trying to study as much as I can. The hardest of these will unquestionably be turning in my homework. I’ve always had a hard time turning in any homework and this is the year I need to start doing it.
The classes were harder, teachers more strict and being mixed in with some of the bigger kids changed my view of school. I will admit I goofed around a little too much during freshman and sophomore year not realizing the importance of my grades until junior and senior year, when suddenly everything became focused on colleges and universities and SATs and ACTs and applications and just complete overload and stress on my mind. Realizing that I screwed up I decided to get act together, but unfortunately I realized all this a little too late. I believe the one experience that changed my view on the importance of education all together was my job. At the age of 16, I was hired at Cinemark 14 Boynton Beach as a concessionist.
The one place where you are independent and working towards a degree to qualify for better employment. But I always wonder if my academic struggles can come back to haunt me. During my senior year in high school, I was not able to take a math class because I already had enough math credits to graduate. So throughout the year, my math skills were becoming more vague than crystal clear. On the CUNY Math Assessment Test, my results came and they were horrible.
Like most high school seniors, I felt I knew everything I needed to pass by life. The thought of college very rarely crossed my mind so after high school all I was thinking of was all I need to do now is find a job. I quickly found out finding a job isn’t as easy as everyone who tells you. When I did think of college, I kept telling myself “I think I should take a few years off from school to find work.” Boy was that the worse idea I ever had, and now I wish I could take it all back. Unlike most high school students I didn’t attend a normal class, I felt the teacher was going too slowly at times and there was never any stress from other Students.
Harley Hix[->0] From the experiences of others, I always expected college to be a challenge, and now that I have started my education their shared experiences are true. Every person that attended college that I talked to told me that the first year is one of the hardest. Keeping that in mind, it was no surprise that my first semester has been difficult. One of the hardest changes in my life was moving away to college. Now that my first semester is almost over it's been a learning experience for me.
Success to Learning How hard can it be to become a Registered Nurse? Can I accomplish my goal and make it into my lifelong dream? All throughout my senior year of high school, I questioned myself what I wanted to do in life. I decided to major in Nursing, but there was something stopping me. Where was I going to attend school?
Literacy in My Life When I was young, my parents read to me a lot to help me read better for when I started school. Once I started school I was a pretty good reader but I was not very good with writing. The teachers would make us write all the time, and I thought it was useless. I am not a very good writer because I would choose to do the very least I could do to get by with writing prompts throughout my elementary and middle school years. In high school, I was worried about the writing test before and after I took the test.
Student Appeal Committee Jashala Long The reasons for me being academically disqualified disappointingly for te 2nd time was due to basically just other things in my life getting in the way of me being able to fully focus on school, and my studies. One of the main things for me was work, I had to help with my house finances that got way behind, so it forced me to work a lot more hours then I wanted to, which in return caused me to lose a lot of hours that I had planned to focus on just my school work. One of the main actions that I have taken were to better myself with math, the courses I failed that caused me to be academically disqualified. My academic counselor told me about taking some
And, I too, had to face several obstacles along the way. Education has always been an important aspect of my life. When I came to United States about three and half years ago, I almost lost hope of that most important aspect of life. Financial hardships, language problems and being unable to find a helper in middle school weakened me a lot. Sometimes, I used to cry after coming back home from school because I did not know what the homework meant.
