The assignment that has had the most impact on me was an assignment given by my acting instructor. Two other classmates and I were called to the front of the class. We were instructed to think of something we wanted more than anything in the world and imagine it floating just above our heads. It was also explained that with each attempt to pull it down, the thing we wanted more than anything in the world would move further out of our grasp. We only had two minutes to get it down and would be killed at the end of the two minutes if we did not succeed in getting it down. At the time I thought it was a waste of time to jump and reach for the something I knew would move further away with each attempt, so I began thinking of all of the ways I could get it down without having to jump for it. Instead of frantically jumping to pull it down, I took a few moments to come up with a plan. I decided to use a hanger from the prop closet to give my reach more length and to possibly throw at the object in an effort to get it down. Right as I was about to begin trying to get the thing I wanted most down, my time ran out and I was killed. One of my classmates didn’t try at all and the other tried but put little effort into it. …show more content…
I must admit I’d have to agree with her. She explained that life was a struggle and it required work. Often times in our lives our dreams and goals are in arms reach but seem to move further away the closer we get to achieving them. She wanted to see how badly we wanted what we imagined. She inferred, the way we approached the exercise is the way we approach life and thought we should take a moment to reflect before moving on to the next exercise. At the time I was going through a great deal in my home and work life and had an epiphany during that time of

The audience for writing project one: summary and response will be my classmates and my instructor, Avon Waters. I am writing this for English 111 – an online Ivy Tech college course. This is the first writing project of four for semester one. The assignment is to select a core reading resource from the group listed and perform a summary and response style paper, using proper APA formatting and introducing the concept of a situation analysis. The core reading piece I have selected is one that personally interested me, as it deals heavily with history and facts versus opinions and controversy. This will be in APA format, as with every other paper written in this course. My goal with this paper is to offer additional insight into the piece I
...resents her failure of recognizing herself as an individual. Her actions of comparing herself as a son in her family, failing to recognize the importance of hard work, and discovering her own happiness symbolizes a person who fails to acknowledge that perfection is not as important than being satisfied with her accomplishments of attending to college, passing all her classes, and receiving family support. To emphasize, if the speaker had realized that getting a perfect grade point average is not what defines her as a person, then she would have comprehended that grades are just a progress to motivate her to not forfeit on herself. Therefore, if the speaker desires to find her personal satisfaction, she should look at all the hard work that she had achieved in her classes and comprehend that life is not all about getting a perfect grade point average and perfection.

A course assignment that had the most impact on me was my 9th grade Extended Research Project in history. This project required that I perform academic research on a subject, in my case Woodrow Wilson, and then perform a 15 minute presentation on it in front of the school after having written an 8 paragraph essay. This was my first major assignment in high school and my teacher had relatively high standards for the class. This flows into the teacher that had the most impact on me, who is Eric Bright, my high school history teacher. He had high standards for his course and coursework, which challenged me and allowed me to become a better writer and approach history and historical documents from a much more analytical perspective. We would spend
Though it seemed like the harder I tried the harder I fell into unwanted pits of sadness. I eventually realized that I would have to do those things at a slower pace due to the fact that I had someone depending on me. The blessing of children comes with a package of responsibility; once you’ve opened it you have to now assemble the pieces with the most important piece first. Many people say “The older you get, the wiser you get"; I find that to be true for me. Every year on my birthday I analyze my life that year; and then I look over the course of my life thus far. Each time I find something I have accomplished and something that I wish I would’ve done. I look at what I could've done differently and what I couldn't change. My friends and family are always coming to me for advice and guidance yet I wasn't utilizing some of my own messages. That is, until recently. I looked around and saw that my age was way past the limit for me to be without a degree; I had to make a change. When I began to home school my daughter I noticed that what I was doing for her I wanted to do for myself. I was tough on her because I didn't want her to end up like
I don’t know why, probably because I like that writer, maybe I feel like that was a great statement. Anyway, I followed it as the principle. I feel like when I looked at everything with an optimistic attitude, everything would be so bright, just like even though those guys beat me up every day but I still get a better grade than them. I am still proud of myself. For though who mocking me think I am a bad student, I would think they are a bunch of nerd who study 24 hours everyday. So at least I have a life, unlike them, school is their life. It is so boring and also incorrect attitude towards one’s life. Life is way bigger than school, way interesting than study, and there are way more challenge to wait in front of me. I might not be able to be the best of those, but I can be the happiest. People always say life is short, that is why I never waste my time on was sad. That’s why I smile whenever I can. I feel like it was the luckiest thing that I watched that interview, because that is the main reason that me to be me today, who is sanguine and
