When remembering this semester and all that happened in it I think the biggest reason why I didn’t reach the required GPA is because towards the end of the semester I was diagnosed with a very bad case of pink eye and this caused me to miss a week of class. Also when I missed this week of class it was in football season and I play football here at Ashland and because of that it made it pretty hard to juggle all of those things and still keep up with my peers in class even though I was a week behind and trying to not be tired each and every day from football. If my appeal is granted I will definitely try harder in any way I can to improve my grades. A big mistake that I made this semester that I won’t ever make again is not contacting the academic tutoring services that Ashland has to offer for extra help when it’s needed. I also think that this semester will go a lot smoother because it wouldn’t be football season and I would have a lot of time to complete work and I wouldn’t be as tired on a daily basis as I was in the fall semester. …show more content…
The classes I had taken for my major this semester didn’t really interest me and pull me in like I wanted them to. So I looked and researched different majors that I thought I would like and decided to change my major in my green light appointment with my academic advisor. So this is another reason why I think this semester I will do better because I would be taking classes for a different major in the spring and also I would be taking classes that interest me more than the classes I had taken in the fall
One bad event though that has happened this semester was when I got a C+ on my psychology test because I did not put in enough effort into studying so I have no one to blame but myself but I promised to myself that I would not fall off track this time around when I take my next test. I attribute my failure to get a good grade as internal because I could have gotten a better a grade if I put in more effort. I attribute going to the gym as external because I had friends pushing me to come to the gym with them and try out the different classes. Overall believe that coming for the summer semester has been one of the best experience in my life because I have met some really amazing people and have gained knowledge about so some different things. Therefore I am excited to come back in the fall and continue my journey at
My name is Kaha Salad and I am appealing my Satisfactory Academic Progress suspension. Autumn semester of 2013 was a difficult time for me, I was going through many different changes in my life and I just didn’t know how to adapt. I experienced a personal event in the summer of 2013 that made my life change forever. My Grandmother Khadija died, she was the light of my family’s lives. My mother was immensely affected by her death, she went into a state of depression and she then stopped working. I took it upon myself to help out my grieving mother and get a job to help pay with the bills that was piling up. I began working
I believe this semester helped my writing, and I think that is clear from the progression through each paper. When writing my first paper “A Rhetorical Analysis of Juan Enriquez’s Ted Talk” I felt unconfident in my skills as a writer, as they hadn’t been used for around a year. It shows unfortunately in the overall quality of the piece, and I remain unsatisfied with it. I was unsure of the concepts I was trying to argue, and the points I was trying to make, and having to analyze a video proved to be a difficult task for me. As a whole I think the paper shook me at the beginning of the semester and impacted the quality of my notes (Or lack there of), and my course attendance.
So far this year, I felt pretty satisfied with my progress this semester. I feel like I am slowly adapting to the new way papers and assignments are handled. All my college work depends solely on me now. No one is going to baby me anymore and whether I succeed or fail depends on how much effort I put into something. For the first time in my life I wrote a paper. Not just a five paragraph essay but actual pages, which is extremely challenging. It’s also been my first time studying for five hours straight so I can pass an actual test. I didn’t know I possessed this level of dedication, it’s probably because it isn’t free.
“High achievement always takes place in the framework of high expectation” (Charles F. Kettering). Correspondingly, the Bolsa Grande High School Council decided to vote unanimously to raise the GPA from 2.0 to 3.0. The council felt that students should focus more in school rather than participating in a sport or a club. The school council made the correct decision because it develops work habits, helps students go to better colleges, and prepares students for professional life.
I have always enjoyed learning but this semester proved to be more astringent than I
First and foremost because I failed to fulfill the academic requirements for Final Warning during the spring 2015 I was suspended at the end of the semester. I failed to obtain a semester grade point average of 2.30 or above. I failed to complete at least 12 credits for letter grades. At first I thought my first semester poor performance was simply because I was not academically ready for college. However, after spending almost a year at home with my father I have come to realized how not playing competitive soccer and my family complications affected me deeply.
I must also acknowledge my role in my transcript’s substandard showing. As my SAT and ACT scores indicate, I have the potential to achieve success in any field chosen. However, I have procrastinated and failed to apply myself to my studies. This year I have made and earnest effort to improve my work ethic. My grade point average is rising and my study habits are improving. I know that I can continue with this improvement.
I was hoping I could take this opportunity to explain my Bachelors GPA. I am quite happy with the GPA that I obtained during my Master’s degree. On the other hand, I wish I could have earned a better GPA with the Bachelor’s degree. I wanted to offer an explanation as to why it was lower than what I would like it to be.
Everyone was confused on what to do when they got on there to do the assignment. Since all we did this semester was capsim are we going to do something different that won’t involve capsim? Don’t get me wrong I liked during the module it was fun, but when all the module were over I didn’t really know what to do. What material are we going to use next semester. Are we going to try and finish the assignment on capsim or are we going to do something that is similar to capsim. Other than all the questions I asked already I don’t have anymore because I felt like this class was too hard for me to get. All I am hopping for is that next semester is easier because I really want to learn something in this class. I am not saying that I didn’t learned anything all I am saying is I want to actually want to learn something that I will get and not have to take a guess at it. I feel like next semester as a class we need to be doing more business stuff for example hands-on stuff so we can feel like we actually business
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...
We talked for a couple hours, and the next day we both handed in an appeal request form. The guidance counselor explained that in previous years, the appeal would have not been accepted. However, because there was such a high rate of people that got into Elro and Bronx Science, and chose Bronx Science. She told me that Elro needed a couple of spots to fill. At the end of the year, the appeal requests came back. Another anxious moment opening my mail ensued. The letter stated that the appeal request was accepted and that I would be attending ElRo. My friend Evan, also got accepted of appeal and we were headed to
Throughout the summer I’ll probably be applying for scholarships and doing things I can put on my resume for AVID. When school starts up again I’ll worry about getting a really good GPA (better than I ever had) for 1st semester and applying to colleges. After all the applying to colleges and getting scholarships, I’ll continue to get good grades, try to eliminate possible majors for college that I’m no longer interested in, and have a good senior year. There will still be times of hardship during senior year such as AP testing and finals, so school will remain one of my most important tasks to focus on before summer of 2019. Throughout the year I will approach school and grades the same way I am now, but I will start thinking about my life in college
My willingness was not as prepared as I wanted to be, I found that out later in the semester. I wasn 't really into studying mainly because I had “better” things to do
Over the course of the semester, I have learned a few things about myself. I have learned that I can be independent, I always knew myself as someone who could do mostly everything on their own. This semester really made me realize how independent I could actually be. Not only have I learned how independent I am I have also realized the importance of time management. With not having a strict class schedule it was a lot different than what I was originally used to. After a few weeks, I learned ways that would work best for me, for example writing down that I needed to get done. I learned that I need to focus on what 's ahead of me to accomplish what I want to succeed in, to manage what needs to be done ahead of time to stay caught up.
