Personal Narrative: My Last Semester GPA

390 Words1 Page

Last Semester GPA was a 2.8. I know that is an acceptable grade point average. I will work hard this semester to do better. The grade point average makes me upset, makes not want to continue school.I will be lenient given the circumstances I made myself face. I have many reasons on why I received the grade point average that I did.I have not grown much since arriving on campus. What kept me on track in some of my classes was writing everything down on my agenda or calendar. Also I studied when it was convenient. I also completed my assignments on time and done them when ask to. What I did not do was studied when I needed to, ask for help when I needed it, have access to necessary materials, and have a work schedule to get everything done.

  • DICA Recommendation Letter

    591 Words  | 2 Pages

    This fall I am retaking Chemistry and I aiming for an A. I do not think grades can fully represent one's work ethic, grit and perseverance. Personally, I have struggled with the fact that I was in special education until middle school. I was behind academically because for the first few years in my life I was almost fully deaf and struggled to learn as quickly as others. Although I was in no longer in special education classes by high school, it was already ingrained in my mind that, academically, I was not intelligent enough to fulfill my dreams of having a job that involves food and nutrition. Even with those thoughts, I still pushed myself to apply to Johnson & Wales to prove myself wrong. Thankfully, I did prove myself wrong. I just goes to show even with those negative, I came from being someone that saw no potential in myself with no proof that I was smart into someone who works hard everyday. Grades don't show that someone is in-tune with their weakness and strengths and that their emotionally intelligent enough to work on them. For example, a weakness that I have struggled with is being not being

  • Honors Classes

    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.

    Grades are one of the most important factors of my high school career. My grade point average and my SAT's determine what college I go to. They determine my effort at high school. I must do whatever possible to keep my grade point average above 3.0. My GPA currently is ok, but if I could increase it by just .2 I would be much better off. Grades are very crucial for getting acceptance to college. They are one of the major things that colleges look at to accept you (or so I have been told). So I will keep pushing myself so that my grades will increase this year, making it possible for me to hopefully enter a better school then I can right now.

  • I Deserve A B.

    1009 Words  | 3 Pages

    I believe that I deserve a B preferably an A because I believe that I did good this semester. As a junior this semester was very challenging for me. But I kept going with hard work and some dedication. One of my biggest struggles this semester was Math 170. Math has always been my downfall but I always try to get it. But this semester it just didn’t happen. But I can say that I did try, actually I tried really hard to get my work done. I also have a problem with procrastination, that’s something I really need to work on. If I didn’t learn anything this semester I learned that unasked questions don’t get answered. I feel as though I should have come to you more often for questions because I know that I didn’t understand the material. I learned my lesson and that will never happen again. Also, even though I didn’t get majority of it I still tried; I should get some credit for that. I took the first part of this final and got a 93, perhaps that could be my final grade right there. Despite taking 17 credits this semester, along with being a Resident Assistant, I have managed to complete all of the assignments for this class. Though I didn’t ace each and every assignment I did manage to complete or attempt them. So far I’ve had a lot of good grades in my other classes, and once again I can say Math 170 was the most challenging. I believe that I deserve a B preferably an A because I always try to do my best in everything in school, because school is important and my future depends on what I do now in school, and the grades I get are very important. When we had class I always took notes, and never been afraid to ask questions when need be. All of my professors told me that I’m a good student and that I’m going to be very s...

  • When There Was A Time In Your Sophomore Year?

    I kept saying to myself that I was still receiving a passing grade. However, when I reached sophomore year I received two “D” grades on my first-semester report card. When I couldn't hide my grades and was compelled to see the look on my parents face when they saw my grades, it was in that moment that I began to realize that if I kept procrastinating on doing anything about my grades I wouldn't have grades worthy enough grades in order to make it into college. It took me a while to figure out that my failure of not working hard to continue being a straight “A” student had affected my normal lifestyle. My lack of interest in academic success caused me to I become lazy whenever it came to homework, cleaning, or even going out to hang out with my friends.

    I had a 4.01 GPA entering my senior year of high school. I was proud of this and determined to keep, if not raise, it. AP classes in our school were weighted on the GPA scale; an A was worth 5 instead of 4. With hard work, I could apply this system to my benefit. That is, until Maureen Grady, my AP Calculus teacher, obstructed my goal of graduating with a perfect GPA.

  • Personal Narrative: Not Underestimate The Difficulty Of College

    1459 Words  | 3 Pages

    Personally, I thought that college was going to be super easy for me and that I was going to get mostly A’s. Since I was taking only three classes my first quarter at UC Davis, I assumed that my GPA would start at a 4.0. Because of this belief, I barely studied and did a minimal amount of homework. Nonetheless, after fall quarter ended, I got my grades back and found out the consequences of my actions. I only got one A, as I got two B’s in calculus and chemistry, both of which are classes I took in high school. I clearly underestimated how much more difficult college is than high school. After my first quarter at UC Davis, I quickly learned that I could not be as lazy as I was in high school. I needed to study for my classes and do homework, even if I already knew the material from high
