    She is determined to succeed based on the effort that she put forth. No one is going to be willing to sit at the front of the class, create a relationship with professor, stay after class for better understanding and stay up late nights for nothing.

Succeeding isn’t anything that comes easy, your hard work will eventually pay off as long as you’re willing to put forth the effort. “No matter how overwhelming it is, no matter how exhausting it is,I’m not going to give up.”…

    In a guided self-assessment of study habits and strategies, ED 3100 students have been challenged to embark on a journey of self-exploration in an effort to better understand our own learning processes, as well as determine how different methods of studying and learning may affect our overall success. Dr. Demars (2015) explains that exploration and knowledge of our own techniques and learning strategies will then empower us, as future educators, to facilitate the same attributes in our students. She emphasizes that the better we (as teachers) understand our own learning processes, the better we can understand those of our students, and consequently help them self-assess to achieve a better understanding of their own learning. Although this exploration has raised many questions for me, there were key themes that stood out amongst others. By constructing an unbiased system of measurement, I am experimenting with deliberate and strategic changes to my study habits that are explicitly designed to address and correct weaknesses in my current study habits that I will track over a period of four weeks.…

    In the article, “The More Factor,” by Lawrence Shames, the author describes the identity America holds. Shames claims that Americans have been influenced by the frontier belief “that America would keep on booming”. I believe this still idea holds true in the twenty-first century because of the way I live in society. Being part of a multicultural family, I always hear the words “America is where dreams come true”. For many years people worldwide have said these words that created a sincere feeling within them.…

    Whilst observing at Agnew Middle School, I noticed some ways that Mrs.Lane motivated her students. It was almost guaranteed that there would be a test every week, and if not a test there would be an assignment added on Think Through Math. She would assign work on Think Through Math weekly, because if a student failed the Math STAAR (a Texas state standardized test required by the Texas public schools) in seventh grade and did work on Think Through Math weekly leading up to the eighth grade STAAR a higher percentage passed. Neighboring on the tests and homework assigned, Mrs.Lane also motivated her students by giving them opportunities to do test corrections and putting the limit of wrong answers on Think Through Math to seven. She made the…
