Recommended: Good relationships between teacher and student

Ever since I was young I've learned many lessons. Everyone has got in trouble for doing something they not supposed to do. I remember some lessons and put them to use in my life but some I simply forget. The more lessons you learn the more you can do better and have better knowledge about things. I think life lessons are the best lessons learned and they also helps build you as a character. This was truly a lesson learned. Life lessons can tell a lot about you to many of your peers. There is a lot to tell young people you know to help them overcome obstacles in life. First, when I was 10 I failed to give my parents a bad note from my teachers. I left the note in my room, and when i woke up my mom found the note. My mom and dad asked me …show more content…

My teacher calling my parents was worse than getting a note to them so i knew i had to do something. That note was on my mind all day from the time i got it up to the time i fell asleep. I think i even dreamed about it. If I had only knew better than to not leave the note on the table I wouldn't have had to go through all of this. I learned that you should always try to do right no matter what. Next, I learned that school is more important than friendship. You might have friends but at the end they cant help you get your diploma so its all up to you. I'm not saying you cant have friends, but i just think that i would have a better time getting work done without having friends to detract you. The only friends you need are the ones who are willing to help you when you're down, and the ones who will teach you what you don't know. I've learned this myself this year. I am getting a lot more done this year than the past year

  • Motive Theory: The Need Of Personality

    I had a first-hand experience of this my freshman year. It was my first time away from home, in a completely new environment. I had a hard time finding the balance between creating friendships and the 15 credit hours I was taking. Eventually, it all caught up to me right before the drop deadline that I was failing a class. I had no idea what to do. My academic advisor told me I was going to flunk out of college, and I freaked out. I cried for three whole days before finally calling up my dad who is the chair of his department at another university. I couldn’t believe I had let this happen, let alone disappoint my parents. They did a great job of consoling me, and telling me that it’s possible to withdraw without it affecting your GPA. In the coming semesters, I would let that failure motivate me to try harder, and study more so I wouldn’t fail a class

  • Personal Narrative: The Crew

    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

    Fortunately, She told me not worry shell give me two weeks to make them up. That fixed my first problem, but what I noticed next was that there were a lot of unfamiliar faces. Usually starting off in class you know at least one person at my high school, but in this class I didn’t even know one. It was an anxious feeling. To try and make the situation better, I tried to converse with some of the students after class, but none of them were willing to even respond. I would say “hey” and some would just nod, others would ignore me as if I didn’t wave. It was a very unusual feeling for me. Usually after leaving class on the first day I would have made at least two to three new friends and I would have even already had their number and we would be talking about future assignments but with these students it was like a whole new world, an anti-social world.

    ...o could ask for anything more? Well it turns out the stresses of school and social standing are still enough to change the course of friendship even as a senior. One by one I began drifting away from the people I thought I would always need. But I believe that was my mistake. I had it in my mind that I needed other people in my life to make me happy. So when I lost everyone, it was one of the most devastating things that had happened to me. Now I'm not saying that you don't need people, being alone forever isn't anyone's idea of a good life. But you need to learn that happiness comes from within and not from being surrounded by people. This is the lesson I desperately needed to learn even if I didn't realize it until now. Even though I feel like I lost everyone, at this present moment in my life, I have never been more content with not only my life, but with myself.

  • Returning To School Narrative

    682 Words  | 2 Pages

    I felt as if I was on a different planet, as much as I tried to understand I was still lost in the woods. That day I got home nearly in tears because I didn’t want to fail the math class, for a second I thought about quitting, but then with a positive attitude, I decided to give it a second opportunity. College was different from high school, attending College is like going to a shopping center, the same people enter the same store, but many of them don’t know each other, and the classroom walls are plain white, no painting or decorations. The students are responsible for their actions, assignments and attendance if they pass or fail their class is their responsibility. Returning to school is a whole new experience, in a way I felt excited to be able to expand my knowledge and prepare for a better future. On the other hand, I am blessed with more responsibilities than just school. Now I am compromised to my kids that depend on me. It’s not just homework, also helping my kids with their homework, doing laundry, cleaning the house, and caring for my kids. To be honest, it’s not easy attending college it’s like having another child. I commit to my classes and assignments, just how I do it with my children. Attending college and being a mother, a spouse, and an employee does squeeze my energy. I knew it wasn’t going to be simple, but I also knew it was not impossible. I continued my education, and I know taking baby steps will benefit my future. “The capacity to learn is a gift; the ability to learn is a skill; the willingness to learn is a choice.” (Brian
