. My issues started before school fall semester started. I was called by someone and told I was not signed up for orientation even though I had done this. I re-signed up and went to the orientation only to find that they had none of my information. My essay to sign up for a literature course was not found, as well as all my information was displaced so that it seemed I was not signed up for the orientation. My folder of information was made while I was there. Then, during the orientation, the counselor that signed me up for classes, specifically told me, “you will not succeed in this major because you didn’t do well in math and you need these four core classes” then signed me up for 17 credits with three sciences courses, which is too many …show more content…
Instead of this I would eat in my room but I was reprimanded by her saying, “can you stop?” or “would you shut up you are eating too loud”. This not only applied to eating but also to me doing homework. If I was typing, it was always too loud. If I was writing, my pencil was making too much noise. If I was reading, I needed to turn the pages softer because she could still hear it. I tried to compromise and I tried to keep it down, but nothing was ever quiet enough for her because she wanted to sleep until Noon. Eventually I just gave up and put up with …show more content…
I have learned from this experience and I am going to seek help from Academic Services, but also continued to use tutors and teaching assistances. I am not avoiding tough courses, only having difficulty with my courses. I am hoping to graduate in 2020, but no later than 2021. For my two semesters, I have chosen to take more basic courses, at least until I decide on a new major. These include but are not limited to the following: Math 123- Application of Contemporary Mathematics, ENGL 221- The American Short Story, ENGL 103- Science Fiction and Fantasy, PHYS 141- Astrology, GEOL 105- Geology, CLAS 325- Classical Mythology, REL 310- Marriage and Family as a Vocation, AMER 184- History of American Popular Music, and HUMA 100- Introduction to Humanities Through Fine Arts. If these courses are not offered my back-up courses include REL 221- Religion in America, ART 134- Basic Drawing, and ART 240- Introductory to Painting. If of course, my grade in Philosophy is not raised I will replace one of the chosen classes and replace it with Philosophy. I will also be considering repeat courses of both Biology and Chemistry, however until I talk to Academic Services I will not know how they will fit into my
During my freshman year in high school, my mother remarried and I had to move from Colorado to Kentucky. One year later, we relocated back to Colorado after they divorced. During my junior year in high school, my mother remarried again and I had to change schools again, although we remained in Colorado. Thus, I did not have a sense of continuity during high school and although I recognized that my path would lead me to college, I was not ready to commit myself to school full time. Instead I went to work full time as a grocery clerk and worked my way up to assistant manager. I then moved into customer service work and finally fell into an advertising manager position. I took several night courses during this period until I was ready to commit to school full time. Although I could have continued with work, I knew that it was not what I wanted to do and once I committed myself to attending school and realized that I wanted to study Sociology, I have proven myself to be an above average student. This past year, I earned all "A"s in my courses.
My name is Valorie M Altamirano, and I am a Central Arizona College graduate with an Associate degree in Fire Science Technology. Unfortunately, my degree does not meet the liberal study requirements to seek a Bachelor's degree. In order to achieve my goals, it is necessary that I complete seven General Study courses. The hold-up for continuing my education is unemployment, ineligibility for a Pell grant and a hold for a $252 charge that will prevent future
High school is meant to be the time of your life, but for most seniors just like me it can be some of the most emotional and crazy time. The things in my past make me who I am today, and the things I do now are the first footsteps into the future. I’ve learned a lot about myself in these past four years, and I still have so much learning to do. This is my high school story; the good, bad, and the ugly.
My lifetime goal is helping others and I plan to use my career to fulfill it. The classes I’m taking right now and the ones I’m planning to take senior year are classes I believe will influence my decision in my college major/career as well as counting toward my GPA. This will help me get into schools who have medical programs that I’m considering. Also, taking AP classes can help me save money since I can earn college credit. I’m taking all AP classes, and the electives I’m taking have been classes that have helped me consider being in the medical field. I’ve found that over the years, science and math are what I’m doing better in versus history and english. I believe by being in the medical field, I can help others in the best way I can.
As we always believe that everything is easy and nothing is impossible for us, until, we realize that we are doomed. In fact, this is a big problem among students, since, many end up failing their courses for this cause. Honestly, I don’t know what I was thinking at the time I chose this and my other mini-term class, all I can say is that this was a very hard six-week journey for me. Although, the professors made it very clear on what to expect, I like many others, accepted the challenge without thinking about the consequences this could bring. Don’t panic, it was not as bad as it seems either, because I had the chance to learn a lot of new things that will definitely help me forge my future. I don’t regret taking this class at all, despite all the setbacks, I had the pleasure of meeting a wonderful professor who patiently made our journey more bearable, and my classmates that somehow always contribute to my
During my early education, meaning elementary school and middle school, I was a very average student. I gave an average amount of effort to my grades, and I received above average results. This did not bother me, until the end of my 8th-grade year. At this point in the year, I was filling out what classes I desired to take the following year, my freshman year. I realized that from this point forward, I had to take my education much more serious, in order to get accepted to whichever college I desired. therefore, when planning my classes, I decided to challenge myself more than I ever have in the past, and take multiple honors courses. I assumed because of my grades, that I had what it took to be an honors-level student, but I was very wrong. One teacher, Mrs. Johnson, made me realize the kind of effort, time and energy needed to be devoted to my education.
Cliffside Park High School has offered me numerous opportunities. I took honors courses in English, mathematics, and science ever year. In addition, I have taken three years of Spanish as a third language and an advanced placement class for U.S. history. Throughout the past couple years; I have been able to sustain a high grade point average of about a 4.4 (based on calculations made at the end of sophomore year) and make High Honor Roll for almost every marking period. However, my journey to where I am now was not a perfect yellow brick road. Instead, it was a path with many twists and turns that led me through many dark and awful experiences. Juggling all these courses was something I had adapted ...
Unfortunately, I’ve had a few obstacles in regards to my academic career which has directed affect my preparation for dental school. Freshman year until my first semester as a senior, I was a Chemistry major but I wasn’t focused on my courses like I should have been. This lack of attention reflected negatively onto my grades and as a consequence I felt overwhelmed with coursework. At the time of my decision, Public Health was my minor and I greatly enjoyed the few courses that I had taken in the subject. Eventually, by Fall 2014 I marched into the Dean’s office and signed my major change documents. With either course study, I
We had all just got back from Des Moines. Alivia, Lexi, Brianna, and I wore sitting on her bed. Our faces lit up with blue because we were on our phones. It was really late I think maybe eleven o’clock. When I glance up and watch the bathroom door creep closed. I freaked out about it trying to scare everyone else. Alivia basically sits on me. Pulling a mound of blankets over our heads. Everyone is screaming and Brianna’s mom, Keri, runs into her room. Then the door opens slightly and that’s when I actually panic. I cling to Alivia and yelling, “Did you see that?” Keri looks very concerned about us and has fear in her own eyes as she jumps into bed with us. We all don’t know what to do. All of us are telling Keri to go look while we hide under the blankets. My mind is racing I personally don’t want to go check because what if there’s a killer in the bathroom. All I can think is I’m too young die.
Choose the audience, purpose, and form for your paper. In your writing, discuss and explain your specific goals for success in high school. Include an explanation of past and present endeavors that have already had an impact on the attainment of these goals, and identify your plan for continuing to work toward your goals this school year.
Let’s flash back in time to before our college days. Back to then we had lunch trays filled with rubbery chicken nuggets, stale pizza, and bags of chocolate milk. A backpack stacked with Lisa Frank note books, flexi rulers, and color changing pencils. The times where we thought we wouldn’t make it out alive, but we did. Through all the trials and tribulations school helped build who I am today and shaped my future. From basic functions all the way to life-long lessons that helped shape my character.
Having a minor in animal science will give me a small amount of knowledge to care for animals. When i chose this degree, i felt happy, i felt like my life was beginning and i was excited until recently when registering for classes. My business management degree plan requires that i complete my core classes including an english literature course. I am unable to complete this course, because of a D i recieved in my English 1302 course. The english literature courses all require a C or better in English 1301 and 1302. I have taken English 1302 twice already, and taking it a third time will make me pay a higher tuition. I will be using my Post-911 GI Bill to pay for my spring 2017 semester classes, and they do not cover tuition for 3-peat courses. If my appeal is approved then i will be retaking English 1302 and i will make sure my grade is high and acceptable. After completing my spring semester classes i will be paying out pocket to enroll during the summer semester in a english literature course as well as a math course which is required to be completed before applying to the McCoy College of Business in Fall
My advisor will be Dana Gohmann. I am planning on getting a BS in Psychology. I will be required to take a math and several science courses for this degree – on top of all the courses required for my psychology degree. However, I do have about forty-two credit hours of electives. I plan on taking advantage of this and will take a wide variety of classes. I really want to take two semesters of ASL (American Sign Language) at UL. I also want to learn how to play the guitar for a semester or two, as well as take more psychology classes that are not required in my major. By doing this I will still be able to explore, pursue, and enjoy some of my hobbies as well as rule out which parts of psychology interest me and which parts bored me to death. On top of getting a major in Psychology, I think I want to get a minor in pre-expressive therapy. A lot of my psychology class will overlap with some of the classes that I need to take to get my minor in pre-expressive
After only being at The University of Akron for three weeks, I dropped two classes. Shortly after dropping those classes, I received an email from my advisor asking to schedule an appointment. While in my academic advisors office, she proceeded to tell me that most students who drop two or more classes tend to not graduate. These words frightened me and even made me regret the decision to attend college as a whole. I sat there and thought about how disappointed my family would be and wondered if I would be successful in college. Since then, I have learned that there is a lot more to being successful
I think I just might have to study even though it 's no fun and I can 't concentrate . I have friends like Matt and Deb who if i 'm writing an essay and get distracted by my phone will nicely ask me “So Rique how is that essay going?” just because they want me get it done so we can leave. I might wanna keep them around for next semester. This course taught me that I should surround myself with people who share the same interests as me like Leela and Zay who are also Art Education majors. I will use that when I am no longer in college and trying to pursue my dreams and needing a good network. I need to work on my writing skills but i am getting there... in
