Recommended: Key factor of academic success

I define a hard worker as someone who is willing to struggle and work hard, despite the fact that nobody will notice. Inside this essay, I will explain not only how I match this description, but also exactly how the Kealing Magnet Program is the optimal place for me to meet my goals, and how I will contribute to the community in ways outside of academics. Although my current school, Austin Home Base, has been great, I am ready for something new, and challenging. When a task is assigned to me, I work tirelessly so I can complete it. I always push myself out of my comfort zone, doing much more than is expected of me. If I am not completely satisfied with what I have formed, I will do whatever I can to make it the best work I am capable of producing. When homework is assigned to me, I always make it my best …show more content…

In the 6th grade, I took part in an after school class, in which I not only increased our knowledge by going to museums and art galleries but also did everything we could to make our school of higher quality. I built bikes whose designated purpose was for the kids in our school to use, painted picnic tables for our school, and much more. If accepted to the Kealing Magnet Program, I can guarantee that I will assist in creating a greater environment. I love helping my community, and I will never pass up a chance to make it cleaner and more desirable. The same year, I also participated in another after school class, based on the PALs program that many other schools take part in. Our original goal was to support and help younger kids with their homework, but soon after the program began, we expanded and began doing many other things. I helped in food banks, cleaned up our school, designed school T-shirts, and put together and hosted our school talent show. If you accept me to the Kealing Magnet Program, I will happily do whatever I can to help Kealing Middle School become an even better

    With the help of the Me To We team at Queen Street Public School, I volunteered at a local food bank. The experience was quite educational and fascinating. We encouraged staff and students to donate non-perishable food items for the "We Scare Hunger" campaign. This was definitely a highlight of my grade five year because I felt very humble and warm-hearted by doing a simple act of kindness. In addition, I was chosen to participate in the "Intergenerational" program. This was created so that grade five students can learn more from the elders of the Burton Manor senior home. We had the privilege to learn about their history and interact with them through several educational and fun activities. If accepted, I will indeed join several clubs and teams to contribute my time and talents to make the school an exciting learning

  • Why Math Is Important Essay

    When I’m doing my homework I try to do is just how the professor did it in class, so I write down every step and then check the answer. By writing down every step, I have the luxury of seeing where I’m committing my mistakes and I can make it easier on myself by knowing what it is that I have to fix. I like being able to check my answers in the book to make sure that I am doing it correctly as well. When I am done with the homework, I like to go over every concept one more time to make sure I understand the process perfectly and to be certain that I can do any problems no matter what numbers or variables are presented. Sometimes I do the homework but I feel as if the test questions are different and much harder, so I am going to start reviewing concepts and doing the harder problems because I have realized that those are the ones that are presented on the

  • Homework Should Never Be Assigned to Students

    First, homework can have detrimental effects on a student’s life. A student can become stressed or overwhelmed with homework. In fact, Ethnographic research shows that an extreme amount of assignments can play a major role in people who become dropouts (Buell). In particular, statistics show that about 21.8 % of students will not graduate high school due to incompletion of homework or failing out of a class (Americas). Next, students can become disgruntled with school and can lose the motive to do their homework. Particularly, some students believe that their intelligence plays a major role in motivation. If a student does not understand the assignment, then it is likely that he or she will not complete the work (Explore). Another example, illustrates that homework is a big factor of childhood obesity. Students are practically forced to reside in their rooms and finish work. Large...

  • Homework Persuasive Essay

    1325 Words  | 3 Pages

    As Boekaerts and Corno pointed out in 2005, although teachers set goals and expectations for homework, students must independently complete homework by practicing self-regulatory and responsibility. Behaviors such as planning, inhibiting distractions, persisting at difficult assignments, organizing the environment, overcoming unwanted emotions, and reflecting on what they have learned are developed in the process of complete an assigned homework. “Children who complete homework outside of school often develop an aptitude for academic work through extra practice and are responsible for regulating their own behavior, making homework a classic form of self-regulated learning” (197). Other researchers such as Zimmerman, Bonner, and Kovach acknowledge that these skills (responsibility and discipline) promote positive behaviors that, in addition to being important for academic pursuits, generalize to other life domains. “Because homework generally requires students to complete tasks with less supervision and under less severe time constraints than is the case in school, home study is said to promote greater self-direction and self-discipline attributes apply to the nonacademic spheres of life as well as the academic” (1). Furthermore, not only does homework instill positive attitudes that would last a life time, it also brings families closer together and strengthens team work amongst them. In Hoover Dempsey’s article titled The Motivational Benefits of Homework, “teachers can use homework to increase parents' appreciation of and involvement in schooling” (2).
