Personal Narrative: And Then There Were None

334 Words1 Page

Thus far in my schooling, I have been to many schools that have all taught me in various ways. At public school, my grades were not the best and now that I am a private schooler, I am learning faster and more efficiently while earning straight A's. School is really enjoyable now that the students are friendlier, teachers are more caring, and I am taught in such a way that best suits my learning abilities.
Although Mount Rainier has really changed some of my bad habits regarding school, there is still one that might never change; I do not like to read! If I had the option of reading or not, my answer would most likely be not. If I had to choose my all-time favorite book it would be And Then There Were None. This book has a lot of mystery and

    The book I chose to read is called, Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children from Nature-Deficit Disorder by: Richard Louv. I chose this book for a few different reasons. One reason I chose this book was because I’ m highly interested in the whole concept of the book and feel very passionate about its reasoning. I also thought it would be a great read to guide me towards a topic for my main project at the end of the Lemelson program. On the plus side, I “read” this book through audible, which enabled me to listed to the book on my drive to and from work everyday. I commonly do this because of my forty-five minute commute from Truckee to Spanish Springs.

And if you are reading this. Then I guess I was unsuccessful in my attempts at finding such a

  • Personal Narrative: Doubt

    Doubt: to be uncertain about; hesitant to believe. That is the definition of one of the words I hate the most, doubt. Doubt is the rivalry between self-love, living life, and the future. Doubt means something a little different to each person in this world, but many people can relate to a negative connotation with the word. Doubt is a scary thing in this world, but it is apart of life, and without it we would not be grateful for the good tings in this world.

    The big day, it was finally here. Two weeks of training on my own and putting in extra effort to sharpen my soccer skills, all for a two-hour evaluation. Sure I’ve been to soccer tryouts before, but I’ve never been to one where I’m so nervous that I could pass out. After a little pep talk from my dad, I was ready to go. I pulled my tryout jersey over my head and set off for the deep green pitch. As I approached the other girls that were already passing, juggling, or just talking with their friends, every single one of them turned their head to stare. Of course, there were other girls that didn’t belong to Sc Waukesha and were trying out, but nobody even glanced at them. Everyone's attention was on me, and I didn’t know why.

Homeschooling also has more flexible schedule which allows families to add in breaks were need and take vacation when it is less crowded and cheaper, but the one reason children love being homeschool is that they are allowed to wear the pajamas all day.

  • The Public Choice

    1595 Words  | 4 Pages

    Whether someone prefers a public school or a private school, it all depends on the person. Unfortunately, not everyone is able to appreciate all that public schools have to offer because they get their vision blurred by all the benefits of private schools. The only thing holding them back may be cost. If these people would just take some time to find that there are just as many wonderful things about the schools our governments provide, they may feel more confident in their choice. Those never exposed to anything but private education miss out on the diversity among students, extra vocational and extracurricular classes, and may even continue to not understand all that public schools have to offer.

  • Pros And Cons Of Homeschooling Essay

    1312 Words  | 3 Pages

    Public schools have pros and cons just like any other form of education. One of the pros is that it is less expensive. Textbooks are generally provided free of charge and if something does require money, the child may have the opportunity to rent the item or have the fee waived due to financial restrictions. Another pro is that a child, especially during the high school years, can have a choice in what courses they take throughout the years of their educational career. The students can also drop out of the majority of the classes that are not mandatory and replace them with another class that they prefer or would do better in. Private schools are another option and the learning is more effective when compared to public schools, but not every family can afford a private school. Homeschooling is less expensive, in most cases, than private
