It has been nine weeks into my freshman year and I have gain so much knowledge from each class that I take. I have learn that procrastinating and waiting until the last minute to do assignments and to study is not a wise decision. I have also learned new study skills and habits. I’ve learned how to walk up the hill like I have a purpose in life so that I make it on time to my classes and not be tardy. I have learned a lot of things about myself that I didn’t know existed. If there is two things that learned about myself is that I am a very bright and intelligent young lady and that I care way to much about what people think about me. Over the years I have developed a low self-esteem which makes me think less of myself in everything I do. …show more content…
Also, I learned that every situation does not need a reaction, sometimes you have to let things be the way they are. Another thing that I learned is that everybody I call my friend is not my real friend because when I need them the most they are never there and they also talk behind my back. I don’t have a lot of friends and that’s not a bad thing. Also, I learned that you can’t depend on other people to support you in everything you do because you need to learn how to be independent incase that person or figure is no longer eligible to support you. I have learned a lot about high school from upper clasmen and my teachers. Now that I have learned that you need to keep your GPA up starting from your freshman year, I am going to strive for all A’s in all my classes because I want to be number one of the Roanoke Valley Early College Class of 2019. Also I want to go to East Carolina University and I need higher than a 2.5 GPA I should try to strive for the best. Even though 2.5 is the lowest GPA that East Carolina University will accept the seniors and teachers of Roanoke Valley Early College taught me to aim higher than a 2.5 GPA. Overall the first nine weeks have been challenging as I expected. I will continue to push through this year and hope for

1. Tell us about an experience, in school or out, that taught you something about yourself and/or the world around you. (maximum 200 words)
... There are many things I learned over this past year and many more things to learn. I will continue to grow.
The lessons are numerous and range from trivial to profound, but there’s one that's had the most impact on my life. Fortunately, I was born into a unconditionally loving family with good health and parents that I feel comfortable talking to under almost any circumstance. Until I got to really know my friends, I was aware that not everybody’s lives were like this but never really understood what a life without those privileges was like. But then my perspective changed when I found out that a couple of my friends have terrible relationships with their parents and suffer from depression and anxiety. Another one of my friends suffers from chronic migraines and has been hospitalized three times in the past year. All of my friends are incredible individuals, and knowing in detail of what they withstand on a daily basis has made me more empathetic to the people around me. I think we all forget sometimes that other people are people, we subconsciously go into this state of mind thinking we’re the center of the whole world. But in actuality, that is not the case; everyone else has their own unique lives and issues they’re dealing with. So what I’ve learned by knowing of my friends’ distinctive stories is just to be more cognizant of others. It's difficult to have that state of mind all the time, but in doing so I have better relationships with
My Grandmother always advised me to be a responsible boy or else I would be a boy who cried wolf. She reiterated that one day, no one would bother to listen to my cries. I loved scheming on how to avoid going to school most of the time. I loved feigning sickness. I learned the hard way. During my junior high school, I developed a bad habit of avoiding school, something common among my age group or peer. I loved staying home to watch and listen to favorite talk shows. Since these shows were only aired during school hours, I often feign sickness so that I could stay home and watch what I considered, a must watch program. At first, on most occasions, I successfully convinced my
Grades are one of the most important factors of my high school career. My grade point average and my SAT's determine what college I go to. They determine my effort at high school. I must do whatever possible to keep my grade point average above 3.0. My GPA currently is ok, but if I could increase it by just .2 I would be much better off. Grades are very crucial for getting acceptance to college. They are one of the major things that colleges look at to accept you (or so I have been told). So I will keep pushing myself so that my grades will increase this year, making it possible for me to hopefully enter a better school then I can right now.
I came to understand myself and others better. I better understand prejudice and its causes as well as how widespread prejudice is and how it is reflected in our media and language. I learned how to communicate better, identify conflicts, and resolve conflicts.I learned how cultural and gender differences can affect communication and sometimes hinder it. I found out the cause of Xenophobia and the effect of the oppression related to Xenophobia. I can now better understand the experience of people of color in the US. I can now better understand about the relationships between the European settlers and the Native Americans. I realized that both the Native Americans and slaves were taken advantage of greatly throughout the early history of the
thought I was joking when I said that I was going to do it. Maybe I was.
In the first semester of high school I learned many things I can do better with moving forward, to improve my experience as a student. I can do better with working on homework right away instead of delaying it. I can also work on getting better with studying for tests and the final. One more thing that I can work on is balancing out my school and social life.
Through the last 13 weeks I have learned about whom I am and what makes me who I am. I have made some great friends not only my age but also older and younger than me. I have realized many things about myself that I never would have realized if I wouldn’t have came here. College is a whole new experience that you could never imagine unless you are there. It is nothing like you read or even that you watch on TV. It is completely different and you learn a lot about yourself as a person.
I learned my strengths and weaknesses along with how to overcome failure. When I accidentally
Conclusions This research study explored the attitudes and self-development, including the self-esteem and self-identity in nine adolescent augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) users. The participants discussed different variables which would influence their self-esteem, attitudes and self-development. Common variables among the study’s participants included: social and emotional support, victimization and bullying, positive peer-relationships, type of AAC device used, listener reactions and responses, barriers to participation, and attitudinal and physical barriers. These variables, the clinical implications, study limitations, and suggestions for future research will be discussed in the sections that follow. Social and emotional support For many (89%) of the study’s participants, the social and emotional support received from their non-disabled peers significantly influenced their self-development and overall self-esteem.
Hi, my name is Rob Geis and I am currently in grade 12. I have been at County High School for a year now; I joined at the start of 11th grade, and have thoroughly enjoyed myself here. The school is great, the people are fantastic and the atmosphere is one that makes you actually want to go to school. Before I joined ASB I was studying at the Singapore American School for two years and prior to that I was at the International School of Kuala Lumpur for two years. I was born and raised here in Bombay city and grew up here.
There are numerous lessons that I have learned from life, they were lessons that I learned from good and bad experiences in life. Different experiences from school and out of school that has made me the way I am today. There is a long list of experiences that in reality did not teach me much.
I have a very fulfilling feeling about what I have been able to accomplish in my life so far. I want the absolute best for myself and those close to me. I often go above and beyond to help those around me succeed and be the best version of themselves that they can possibly be.
