Recommended: The importance of extracurricular in students life

There was a lot that I have learned this semester from this class. Some of the stuff I learned is more important than other stuff I have learned. One of the most important things I learned from study strategies is having better communication skills. I used to never email my professors or give them a call to let them know I wasn't going to be in there class I just wouldn't show up to class and they would be really frustrated and upset with me that I wouldn't go to class and never tell them. This class has majorly helped me get in the habit of contacting them and letting them know when I wasn't going to there.
The communication skills I have picked up is also helping me with working if I need to miss a day, because now I email and call my boss …show more content…

Some bad stuff I learned about myself is that I still have a lot of problems getting my work in on time which I know most professors won’t let me turn it in if its late, so I do need to grow and improve on my time management skills so I get my work done on time since being a student is my first priority. The kind of student I am touches a lot on what I learned about myself this semester. A lot of times I do get lazy and don’t feel like doing work that is due which has gotten me in trouble in the past and a lot this …show more content…

In PC applications I have a 75 and that’s because IO either passed assignments in to late or they weren't accepted because I turned them in too late, but in history I have an 89 because I get all of the work done on time and i'm taking notes and asking questions and studying. I have been told by my proffers in PC applications history that I have an opportunity to do really well and succeed in college but if you throw away this opportunity that’s on you so study and later in life you will be thanking yourself for studying and never giving up on yourself. You have all the tools to succeed in college but you also are just as capable of throwing that away by doing what so many students do and that is throw away this chance to further your education. That was your choice to further your education no one else’s so don’t waste your money and time if you aren't here for one purpose. That has stuck with me ever since I was told that earlier this year and it will always stick with me throughout my

  • If I Grow Up Analysis

    747 Words  | 2 Pages

    The deaths per year done by guns, 80% of them are gang related. If I Grow Up, written by Todd Strasser shows the life of a male kid growing up in the projects in Chicago. DeShawn wanted didn’t want to join the gang and stay in school. But his family didn’t have money or food. His friend that was in the gang had a bunch of money. So DeShawn joined the gang because in school they didn’t teach them much, and the money that his family got was a lot more of it when he got in the gang. I think that DeShawn had a choice not to join the gang because he could get a job, could have gotten a better education, and other people have gotten out of the projects.

  • Why You Reckon Analysis

    The story I chose for this analysis is “Why, you reckon?” by Langston Hughes. IN this analysis I will be focusing on how the great depression in Harlem had effect on the story, how racism played a part, and how or if the characters were justifyied in their actions. During this time period the intense racial divide combined with the economic harships that plagued the U.S. during the 1923’s makes for an interesting story that makes you think if the charaters were really justified.

    Culture Centers in Higher Education: Perspectives on Identity, Theory, and Practice is a powerful and enlightening book by Lori D. Patton. Patton is a higher education scholar who focuses on issues of race theories, African American experiences on college campuses, student development theories, campus environments, inclusion, and multicultural resources centers at higher education institutions. She has a variety of publications and was one of the first doctoral students to complete a dissertation that focused exclusively on Black culture centers entitled, “From Protest to Progress: An Examination of the Relevance, Relationships and Roles of Black Culture Centers.” In Campus Culture Centers in Higher Education Patton collaborates with many higher education scholars and faculty members to discuss various types of racial and ethnic culture centers in higher education, their overall effectiveness, relevance, and implications for improvement in relation to student retention and success. Diversity, inclusion and social justice have become prevalent issues on all college campuses, and this piece of literature gives a basic introduction for individuals unfamiliar with cultural resource centers. This book successfully highlights contributions of culture centers and suggestions for how centers can be reevaluated and structured more efficiently. For many faculty, administrators, and student affairs professionals unfamiliar with the missions and goals of culture centers, Patton’s text provides a concrete introduction and outline for the functionality of these resources and also offers recommendations and improvements for administrators managing multicultural centers.

  • I Remember Analysis

    For my solo performance, I sang a piece named ‘I remember’ in the Musical Theatre genre. My piece was written by composer and lyricist, Stephen Sondheim who wrote both the musical score and the lyrics of the song. This song was written, along with several others, for the show ‘Evening Primrose’, a musical based on a short story, written by John Collier, which was published in the 1951 collection ‘Fancies and Goodnights’. It tells the story of a poet, Charles Snell, who takes refuge from the world by hiding out in a department store after closing. Once there, he meets a community of night people who live in the store and falls in love with a beautiful young girl named Ella. In this particular song, character Ella Harkins – originally played by Charmain Carr – reminisces about the outside world and all the memories she has from when she was younger and out in the open. It was written specifically for the television anthology series ABC Stage 67 and first aired in the US on November 16th 1966. It was later adapted into a stage show.

    In his poem, “Nothing Gold Can Stay”, poet Robert Frost communicates the idea that everything created in the cosmos which is pure and possesses the beauty of gold can’t be put at a halt. It will lose its glow or purity at one time or the other. He reveals this idea through the use of a metaphor. Through lines one and five of his poem, he compares the nature’s leaves to a golden and beautiful sighted moment that doesn’t last long enough so that we can enjoy its bright view every day, and ultimately it all withers away through its color and appearance. “Nature’s first green is gold, her hardest hue to hold.” In these lines, Robert Frost explains the meaning that the glistening green color of the nature when all its leaves bloom is a flourishing sight, but it’s a radiant color that is hard to be hold. In line six, he uses an allusion to Adam and Eve’s story. “So Eden sank to grief.” This line expands on the idea that purity is another thing that can’t remain forever. When Eve ate from the tree of knowledge, Adam and Eve were kicked out of the Garden of Eden and that created consequences...

    During my first semester of college, I felt like this course overshadowed all the others. I faced many challenges, gained better habits, and even increased the value of myself as a scholar. Not only did my professor provide her students with the course material she built a confidence inside of us that will allow us to be able to tackle any task, especially pertaining to any written compositions. The things that I have learned from this course could and will be applied to any and everything I do from here on out, whether that writing an essay or even taking a test.

    I find this helpful in all classes that I take. Not all teachers teach in the same way, therefore, I need to figure out my studying skills for every teacher I have. In Micro class, I figured out that I needed to pay attention to the material that was covered in the lab, and the class assignments. When I was studying I focused on these two parts of class the most. Of course, I would still reread the PowerPoints and all my class notes. Furthermore, note taking was an extremely important part of this class. I would rewrite my notes so that I was able to have a better understanding of the

    My journey as a student has always been focused on the path to college and success. Before I even set foot in kindergarten my mother, a college dropout, always told me that “honor roll wasn’t an option” and that I would be attending college in the future and achieving a degree. Most of the time I made these requirements. Most of the time I was awarded honor roll or had a newly edited list of colleges to attend, but sometimes life got in the way of my dreams of achieving success.
