Eleventh grade

so I sat in her place. The next day the same thing happened and again another girl was absent so I sat in her place. This kept happening and I realized that I had no “real friends” that I could rely on to save me a seat. Did I really know everyone in class? Yes I did. Were they all nice to me? Yes absolutely they were extremely friendly. Well then why wasn’t I close to anyone? Why didn’t anyone catch me a seat? Why did I have lunch alone every day? It was because I had closed myself off. Later that day when I went to walk my dog. I started to wonder why I closed myself off and why I had no close friends. As I continued down the sidewalk with the wind blowing in my face and the trees rustling I was revisited by my past. In tenth grade I had a very close circle of friends but sadly most of them migrated to India or other countries and the few that did stay drifted away from me because they shifted classes and found new friends. It was…

Imagine having to do something that could have an impact on you for the rest of your life, but you messed up your one and only opportunity. Well this is how I felt exactly taking my SAT senior year. Yes, I know it’s possible to take the SAT more than once but I didn’t know that you were supposed to take it your junior year. In other words, I didn’t have enough time to retake the SAT before applying to college. I made a lot of mistakes in my short life and I also regret a lot of things. I would…

curve, and everyone caught on quickly. Ninth grade year was a blur of great memories, laughter, and adjustment. During that year, one of my great friends, Madison, taught me if you think logically you will encounter problems which you will solve in with your mind in confidence, but when you think with your emotions you will fight with a feeling that will eventually change. As freshman, we were emotional and we acted without thinking, and learning to remain impartial was one of most important…

That year was not nearly as terrifying as I had originally thought. Seventh grade was much the same only I decided to join the band. Eighth grade I had something strange happen I had a teacher that for some unknown reason take a huge dislike to me. I remember we were watching the entire mini-series of Roots and for some reason she decided that I wasn’t present and I had skipped class, for the first time in my life I was called down to the disciplinary…

About six years ago, I moved to the United States together with my family. After having been here for one week, I started my ninth grade. I learned English in Vietnam for a couple years before moving. However, my skills weren’t good enough for me to understand and talk to my teachers and peers. I struggled for a long time to fit in. Everything to me was unfamiliar. Beside having a difficult time to understand the new language, I was also having a hard time to getting used to other aspects of the…

from sitting in incommodious classrooms while having freedom in open space. Having breaks between classes is fine, but off campus breaks are better because they give the students down-time without constant supervision. Open campus lunch periods have many preceding benefits. The horrors of acquiescing students to leave unsupervised have reasonable concern to them. For example, high school students don’t always make the best decisions and don’t always act mature. They could end up lost, causing…

The Eleventh Doctor from Doctor Who, said, “Do what I do. Hold tight and pretend it’s a plan!” Before, I started my master I had a plan already on how to successfully finish. I know theirs four ways to distinguish my accomplishment on succeeding on masters. I want to accomplish my masters in these four areas that are intrinsic motivation, self-efficacy, time management, and academic preparedness. They all have a significant plan in place, but they all reach for the same goal in achieving my…

Many teachers around the United States deal with students that disrupt their class, or have behavior that is not appropriate on a day-to-day basis. Unfortunately, many students are penalized because their unsettling behavior hinders their own and other students learning. These behaviors can include being disruptive, using their cell phone, sleeping in class, challenging the teacher/ instructors knowledge on a particular subject, and many more. Therefore, students should be penalized to a certain…

However, with all good there is a downside. That downside is plagiarism. The grading system is a big positive for technology in the educational atmosphere.
