Being a part of drill team has helped me with control by helping others in learning routines or chants with taking charge when others do not. I learned that although I am young, I am in control of my own progress, and I am the one who can change situations for better or for worse.

The course had many mock exams, which allowed me to become a more experienced test taker and gave me a good idea of what kind of testing atmosphere to expect beforehand. Half of the stress comes from the different atmosphere that students are not used to taking a test in, which the course helped me overcome because when I went to take the actual SAT, it was a very similar environment. The mock tests in the course also helped me learn the formatting of the test and after taking many of them I was able to learn how to use my time efficiently in order to get the best score possible. Driver’s Education is another prime example of a service-learning course that is extremely valuable in testing course concepts within real-world contexts.

Gehrig’s mother Christina was content on sending him to college so he was admitted to the University of Columbia. He played baseball throughout college as well; he was a pitcher and 1st baseman.
When I was a kid I used to live with my mother and my grandparents, I grew up without knowing my father, but I was happy because my grandparents always bought me everything I wanted, at that time I was the only child at home. Later my Mom got married, and I had two brothers. I learned how to share my toys with them, and I got a stepfather who taught me many good things because he is a good and hard working man. My Mom is lucky. Before I finished the high school, I started to work for a big tools company as a salesman helper (where I learned many new things).
Personal Quality What I believe to be my best personal quality is that I have the ability to adapt and learn quickly. This helps me with a lot of things like in school and learns life lessons by learning from my mistakes. As life goes on, I have to learn and adapt to new things, and new places, therefore I believe being adaptive is my best personal quality.

It was already half way through the school year when I first started school.
