Recommended: Time management on the college students academic

I have taken challenging courses throughout my academic career. I have taken three AP classes and many pre-AP classes to prepare myself in life. I have taken AP US History 11, Calculus AB, and Biology over the course of my sophomore and junior year of high school. These courses helped me experience the college-level work and skills needed in order to be successful in the future. I learned that being communicative, productive, and effective helped me succeed in these courses. I devoted my time to these classes because they were year-round classes. I knew that I needed to set goals and prioritize my tasks. When I was confused about the material or upcoming due dates, I asked my teacher to clarify for me. He/she would explain it until I was no …show more content…

As an independent person, I make sure my house is in great maintenance. I have tasks to do inside and outside my house. I have to mow the lawn, clean my room, take out the trash, pick up paper in the yard, wash the dishes, etc. All these tasks help mold me into a reliable, responsible person. I cherish living on my own because I never become sick away from home. I love to travel away from my house to see new life experiences. In addition, I try not to rely on my parents for assistance when I am out of the house. When I am out of the house, I understand that I need to be respectful to others and my environment. When I am away from home, I am representing my parents, so it will make since if I treat others in a rightful manner. Ultimately, I am obedient towards authority. I always obey rules that are presented to me. I strive to be a prime example of a mature, young adult in society. Living among an enormous campus can be overwhelming for a moment, but I have the courage to abide and obey all commands to help me flourish amongst my peers. Furthermore, I have the endurance and self-control to help me overcome problems on my own. It takes a lot of commitment to devote your summer to school. As a loyal person, I will be willing to give up my summer so I can excel forward

    I was taking AP World History, my first AP class. Keeping up my grades in the class was one of my biggest concerns, but surprisingly, it turned out to be a relatively laid-back class without much homework. Throughout the year, the class was mainly notes and document analysis. The only difficult part of the class was the tests. They were long and arduous with several vague questions based on specific parts of the curriculum that we had only gone over lightly. The course became more vigorous as the exam date drew closer; we began writing more essays, the tests we took grew longer, there were after school study sessions, and even a mock

    Finally, I learned how to be more responsible by myself. In my last classes, my teachers were technically always there to tell me step by step what to do and how to do my assignments. In a certain way, it made me kind of lazy and entirely dependent of my teachers. However in this course it was not like that; instead, my instructor just gave me the assignments, instructions, and deadlines, and I must write my essays and summited it on time. This absence of guide absolutely made me to react that it was time to me to do my assignments by myself, demonstrate what I know, and ask for help just whenever it is

AP English Language is my first AP class I have taken and it was really challenging. The most challenging part about being in AP English Language was the level of expectation on your work.

Also, I was really scared about the AP exam but Ms.Pruden really prepared us for it, I went in and used everything she taught me to try and pass the exam.

    Going into this course, I felt that the reading and writing skills I learned in high school were very beneficial in preparing me for an English college course. In high school, I was enrolled in GATE and AP English courses. In these classes, I was assigned several readings and was taught to actively read by doing annotations. I was to summarize the writer 's main points, to write down my own opinions, or to connect it to any personal experiences. These annotations helped me understand the writer 's message better because I was able to break down the things the writer said and only focused on the important points. Then, I was also able to form my own opinion on that topic by deciding whether I agreed or disagreed with the author’s opinion. Moreover, I used evidence from the text to support my argument.

    As the end of the school year approaches I can literally and safely say that this class was by far the most rigorous and influential High School course that I have ever taken. No I haven 't had the best overall average in the class I can 't say that I still have taken away a lot and will be using a lot of the information that I have learned later on in life and especially in college. Looking back at all the literature that we read In this year alone I can safely say that we have read more than during my first three years of high school, and some students about the work load. I really did appreciate it. There were so many life lessons that were taught. Especially when we would have in class lectures. From Beowulf, to Lord of Flies, each story has

    Over the course of the semester, I feel that I have grown as a writer in many ways. When I came into the class, there were skills I had that I already excelled at. During my time in class, I have come to improve on those skills even more. Before I took this class I didn’t even realise what I was good at. This is the first class where I felt I received feedback on my writing that helped me to actually review my work in see what areas I lacked in and where I succeeded. Some of the skills I had shocked me as I didn’t think I had those capabilities in me.

  • Course Reflection Essay

    1251 Words  | 3 Pages

    During this College Composition course, I came across numerous obstacles and educational involvements. Every factor of this course contributed to my overall learning experience. For starters, we often read out of our textbooks, “The Little Seagull Handbook” and “They Say I Say”. These books helped showcase proper writing techniques. In addition, we would have class discussions that everyone would participate in. This opened my eyes to different viewpoints that could influence my writing. I recall one class we had a debate over a topic and everyone had to choose a side to argue. Then when we wrote argument essays, even though they were on a different topic, it helped me view my topic in different ways. Lastly, the most helpful to my writing was peer review. We were told to read our paper out loud to our partner. Although personally I am quiet and dislike reading out loud, I found this very helpful. Instantly, my partner and I could find grammar mistakes that one may not pick up on while reading silently. Then we could also talk about other possible revisions for my paper. For every paper, we would have conferences with the professor. This was effective as well to have a professional giving corrections and ideas. When we would get back our graded rubrics on the assignments we completed, the instructor would leave comments to

    Much like Benjamin Franklin believed, I feel that a person should take advantage of the time the person has in life with activities a person wants to do or needs to do. A person should not spend much time on activities the person does not want to do. Life is way too short to concern oneself with work or other activities one wants nothing to do with all the time. When possible, I try to forget about my responsibility and just let go of the ‘things’ that do not matter to me. I think a person should try to occupy oneself with something productive, worthwhile, or necessary at all times. Even though a person’s life is left up to a person to live, I cannot imagine thinking that I owe my time to society through working a job that I simply despise. I am a compassionate person, but I do not owe anyone anything regarding my time.
