That just affirms that music has a huge impact on the world and the people in it. My mood also changed a little during my “no music” time. I was very frustrated because every time I would go to turn on my music I would remember that it was my twenty-four hour period for no music. The day also seemed like it was so much longer than usual. At first I was so against doing it because I somewhat depend on it to get me through my long days.
Online classes required self determination and a lot time. This is definitely not what I had in mind! Procrastination and grades don’t mix well and the outcome has many consequences. Happiness is hard to achieve when you are always in a rush to finish a task that was supposed to be done weeks or even months before hand. For example I waited all summer to sign up for fall classes and as a result I got stuck with most classes that other students didn’t want to take.
My ninth grade was pretty cool until the last week of school I let my mouth get the best of me and said some things that I really should’ve not said and because I did I earned the next semester at the alternative school. When school started back I was very sad because I had to go to the “bad” school with all the “bad” kids and I was very nervous. Once I got there it was pretty cool and I really enjoyed it because the classes were smaller and you got more one on one help. My grades went up and my mom decided that I should spend the rest of the year there, which really messed me up because they did not offer any elective classes only the basics . My eleventh grade year was also a disaster because of the struggle of passing my biology state test and I was really distracted and just wanted to go back to the alternative school but my mom and the principle would not send me back.
Liz Gomez English 101 Mr. Tafarella 3/9/11 On Monday of last week I woke up with the biggest headache ever and believe me I was not ready to go to class but I really didn’t want to miss the video that Mr. Tafarella was going to show us, so I got up, got ready and decided I had nothing to lose and I went to class. Once at school we had a lot of trouble trying to get the video to work and finally there it was; the most interesting subject I could have ever come across “Jonestown” To tell you the truth at first I was a little bit confused because I had never heard of this story, but once the documentary got going I was not able to take my eyes off of it. After the documentary ended I realized I wanted to know even more. I mean, I couldn’t
Every time I want a moment of peace or relaxation, I always listen to religious music because it is like forgetting everything for a moment. According to Janaro and Altshuler( the art of being human July 4, 2011) “ rhythm in music as in poetry, it is an alteration between stress and unstress. That is why, when I was about 12 years old, I tried to get into the chorus of the church that I used to go, but I was a really bad singer and I could not make it. However, when I came to the United States, I tried again and at this time I made it. I even participated in evens to raised money for the church.
They were also far too long for the students to complete. Teachers teach because they adore children, changing their lives, and creating amazing people. They have been stripped of that. Jessica, a teacher, says that she cannot imagine doing it this way (Common Core) another 20 years. She says, “It’s hard to rest my head on a pillow at night, and feel good about what we are doing to these kids.” These personal stories show that education, which is supposed to benefit students, is only hurting them tremendously, because it is not beneficial to the teachers in the first
The more I concentrated on my studies, the more I felt my passion slip out of my fingers. And before I knew it I had to leave my music school. There grew a distance I could not cross, a barrier that made my dreams seem far-fetched for lack of practice made matters worse. The ease with which I could sing seemed to have evaporated into thin air....But like they say, "When fate closes one door, it opens countless others'. I am overwhelmed to be able to realize that music is and has always been an indispensable
There are also many under age drivers on the road that makes driving on the road more dangerous for them and anyone driving that day. A lot of people also die because they drive while intoxicated I would have to say that’s one of the most cause of death each year. Talking on the phone is one of the most dangerous habits because you’re not always concentrated on the road. Talking on the phone while driving is prohibited because you can get into a car wreck or make some get into one or hit someone and can cause severe injury or death. It is very prohibited to talk on the phone in school areas because there is a lot of kids walking to school or getting off of their parents vehicles to walk into school and you can hit them and severely injure them or even cause death.
If I felt like I was falling behind on my goal I would walk around aimlessly in my apartment or find reasons to go outside and walk until I reached a step count that I felt more comfortable ending my day at. The first week I had started doing the pedometer assignment I still had not been cleared from my knee injury by my doctor to participate in exercise activities so I did not meet the guidelines of 150 minutes of moderate physical activity or 75 minutes of vigorous physical activity per week. I could have been stretching and at least doing resistance training on my upper body but I did not doing any of that either my first week so I also did not meet the guidelines of two to three days of resistance training or stretching 3 plus days per week. At the start of my second week I was finally cleared to start engaging in some physical activity. I met the guidelines of 150 minutes of moderate physical activity and the 75 minutes of vigorous physical activity by participating in cardio 5 days of that week and did a total of 250 minutes of combined vigorous and moderate activity.
My future career When I finished 10th grade, I really wasn’t sure what I wanted to become, or what course I wanted to take the next semester. I simply picked the electronic course because I didn’t want any more of the theoretical classes, like social studies or nature science. In short I was tired and bored of regular. I did however not regret this choice, as I’ve found that I really enjoy working with electronics, and I’m very good with it as well. Nowadays I really don’t mind going to school, but I really hated it before.
