Benefits Of IMSA Learning Environment

483 Words1 Page

IMSA is a school that offers a vast amount of opportunities for every student who attends. If I attend IMSA, I will use every resource available to obtain the best education possible, and I will do my best to make an impact on the IMSA learning environment. IMSA offers programs and clubs that do not exist at my school, and also offers challenging classes that I cannot take at my school. I plan to use these invaluable resources to the best of my ability. I've always been a creative student, driven by my passion to achieve. Throughout my school career, I have taken the most challenging courses, and I take my education very seriously. However, at my previous junior high and my current high school, the learning environment is can be very toxic. …show more content…

When I attended Summer@IMSA Summer Integrated Science, some of the material was difficult for me to understand. However, the teachers and tutors were very helpful to me when I was confused. Even other students helped me better understand the coursework. An environment like IMSA's places importance on this kind of collaboration, would greatly advance my learning. Since I will be living in a dorm, even after class, I will be able to get help from other students who may know more about a topic then I do. I will also be able to assist other students in the same way. IMSA also offers many extracurricular activities, which I can be a part of and contribute to. Not only can I join clubs about my interests, such as robotics, I can also be part of clubs that will expand my interests. Some of these clubs are not offered at my current high school. Not only will these clubs help me adjust to IMSA life, but I will also be participating in something I enjoy. I play tennis, and IMSA offers a tennis team. I enjoy writing, so I could be a part of the writing clubs. There are many organizations I can be apart of at IMSA. At IMSA, I believe the possibilities to enhance my education and future are infinite. The challenging curriculum and bright teachers and students both work together to make a positive learning environment. I am excited to be able to contribute to IMSA by sharing my insight, and being a part of the many clubs and the student

    As many people have told me before, it is a very different ballgame than middle school’s easy going years. There is much more work, the classes are harder, and the environment is completely different. Many people’s grades may slip and they may cower in fear at the barrage of assignments they receive class after class. Unlike other people, I am confident in my ability to excel at all classes and to sustain exemplary grades. Therefore, while many are trembling in fear at the prodigious assignments and work is bombarding them from all angles, I will be at ease, knowing that whatever obstacle is thrown my way, I will conquer it and be its own

    With an unchallenging curriculum students skipped or simply slept during class. The school was a difficult environment to learn and I soon found myself getting into fights and trouble which led to my suspension. That momentous event was my turning point, I was hurting my parents and crushing their high hopes. I developed into a reckless person that had forgotten my goals. Being one suspension away from expulsion, I distance myself from my group of friends to evade trouble and focused on my studies. I was tired of the constant paranoia I felt going to school and the weak learning curriculum so after my sophomore year, I finally convinced my parents to transfer me to University High School (UHS). I want to keep myself busy and challenge myself, and I knew that I was just buying time from getting suspended again. I struggle at the beginning at UHS, catching up to the pace of my classmate was difficult but I worked

  • The Shortcomings of College Education

    2319 Words  | 5 Pages

    "The more we know the world around us, the more successful we will be." This quote, from the introduction of my high school chemistry book, was my driving force as a teenager to attend college. My expectations of college were to gain insight into a world that I had not yet discovered. I had high aspirations of receiving a good education and obtaining a good job when I graduated. But four years later when graduation day arrived, I felt unfulfilled. In evaluating my education, I realized that I learned how to get good, but not great grades. I learned how to study to make the most of my time. The focus I shared with many of my peers was not always to appreciate the information received, but rather, to value the counsel from someone else who previously took that professor's class and maybe to be lucky enough to get a hold of last semester's examinations. Basically, I acquired useful skills for any job: to follow directions, to give the boss what he or she was asking of me, and to network and gain insight from other colleagues. It was still disturbing to me that after four years of schooling, I felt I had not received the education I initially expected. Overall, college does not bring out the full academic potential of the students who invest the time and money into an education. Teachers need to set aside their biases and restructure and develop curriculum, as well as student-teacher relationships, in order to truly develop college students into freethinking, exploratory people.

  • Honor Society

    Cliffside Park High School has offered me numerous opportunities. I took honors courses in English, mathematics, and science ever year. In addition, I have taken three years of Spanish as a third language and an advanced placement class for U.S. history. Throughout the past couple years; I have been able to sustain a high grade point average of about a 4.4 (based on calculations made at the end of sophomore year) and make High Honor Roll for almost every marking period. However, my journey to where I am now was not a perfect yellow brick road. Instead, it was a path with many twists and turns that led me through many dark and awful experiences.

  • Abolish or Reform?

    563 Words  | 2 Pages

    In an essay by Harley Tong, high school is portrayed as “a waste of time and a struggle to remain interested in schoolwork.” He continues to describe his own experiences and how they led him to begin his college career two years earlier than most students. He complains of the way that he was physically and verbally abused by other students, which is the case in many high schools. High school is not only a cognitive learning environment; it is also a social learning environment. Students learn how to communicate with fellow pupils, teachers and administrators. They find out how to come independent from their parents and how to prepare for the rest of their lives. I believe that Harley Tong was simply too advanced for his surroundings. He most likely found the other students immature and didn’t fit in with them. In his case, he found a solution to attend a community college instead of his high school, which I commend him for. Many students in his situation would simply drop out, and that is not the answer.

  • Essay On Importance Of Knowledge

    1052 Words  | 3 Pages

    As a student in this modern society, I have seen firsthand that children are not respected for their way of learning; this thought gets lost in the midst of longing for uttermost perfection. The growth of the student is hindered by the realization that their value as a person comes from knowing what other people chose for them to know. Society often takes away the passion of a person when they start placing their own standards for people to live off of; often forcing them to become a shadow of their former self. Like Auden says in his “Letter to Lord Byron”, “[there is no need] to straighten out the kinks in the young mind,” because learning is part of the process and learning to fail, and accepting that failure is a lesson within itself. The human mind is too quick to jump to the results compared to taking their time to truly recognize that these mistakes are what makes a human successful in the future. Being unique and similar at the same time is like being a puzzle piece, all pieces are needed to make the picture, but each picture has its own purpose. Just like the puzzle pieces, people have their own jobs to fulfill, and they might not fit everywhere but they fit somewhere. There are some students who do not need such support to understand the basics, however, there are some students who need the push which has more value. Everyone’s way of learning is unique and it is

  • Problems with Education

    1526 Words  | 4 Pages

    One of the biggest problems with education is that it is poisoned in the way people view school. Some common phrases among students are that ?school is boring; school is work.? Theses attitudes have a direct effect on the effort that students put into their studies. One will obviously work harder when they aren?t bored with the task. There is a difference between hearing and listening and if students approach school as something that they see as boring and stressful than that student will only be hearing what the professor is saying. They may show up to class but this does not mean that they are necessarily there to learn. If school were fun than students would enjoy learning and thus, would learn more since it would be an enjoyable activity. School is just like a sport or a book in that if the book is well written and enjoyable than there is more incentive to read it, just as someone will put more effort into a sport that is fun than a sport they don?t enjoy. If school were fun, than students would strive to learn more.
