As scientific studies show, men’s brains mature at the age of 43, eleven years later than woman, and this shows in many aspects of my high school career; of course, the latter can be shown too at school. When others act and think immaturely, it pushes a peer, like myself, to gain the upper hand in maturity. There needs to be a balance to the population of mature and immature students. Instinctively, I find myself as a suppressor; someone who needs to tell immature students to stop doing what they are doing or give them a glare. In addition, with a heavy workload, it is easy to mature. I need to be a mature student at work; no one is going to treat me as a little child if I mess up at work or behave immaturely. I need to stand up for my behavior and my actions; I am a high school student, soon-to-be college student. In a more technical aspect, no one needs to remind me to finish my homework or ask if I have gotten started on my college essays. I am very organized and hardworking and knowing that I am a soon-to-be college student, I have to be. No one is going to remind me to apply for that one program or to study at …show more content…
After nine years of playing the cello and practicing it, I find myself having confidence in performing in front of an audience. Especially with “checkpoints”, like NMMEA All State and competitions, I gain self-confidence because my hard work always pays off and it only motivates me to work harder and keep practicing. Furthermore, through my experience and performances in speech and debate, I have gained self-confidence when speaking in front of large crowds or groups of people. Class presentations are fun and enjoyable now.
Initiative,

    In today’s society, many people argue that teenagers can’t be mature because of how young they are. However, being mature isn’t really about being a particular age, but rather going through experiences and learning from them. For instance, in the book “The Glass Castle”, the author Jeannette Walls was forced to take cake of her brother and sister’s because of her unstable mother and father. Weeks passed before her siblings had food, water, or even a home.…

    I have always been interested in learning and using new ideas. Throughout my life, I have invariably drawn from my life experiences, newly learned ideas and my continuing education to help problem-solve sensibly and realistically allowing me to move forward or help others reach their goals. Although I have no formal teaching experience, in my past work and involvement in organized sports, I have repeatedly used the Progressive philosophy. When dealing with 13 & 14 year olds many situations arise such as bullying, personality clashes or simply not understanding a drill or play. I deal with these situations by asking questions to stimulate a discussion, allowing them to draw on past experiences; positive or negative, consequently allowing them to come up with a solution or grasp the knowledge they are seeking.…

    Honors committee, As long as I can remember I have sought challenges in academics. Until only recently I didn't know why I pushed myself as hard as I have in school, but now I understand it is because I truly love learning. For me, discovering something new or unknown, teaching myself a new skill, or learning more about the world around me is one of the most gratifying things in my life. This is part of why I think I should be admitted into the honors program here at the University of Iowa. As a young child I was insatiably curious, asking my mother questions ad nausea, never satisfied with simple answers.…

    When Greece and Rome are brought up, one might not think much of them since they are relics of the past. One of the most fascinating things, in my opinion, is how Western culture uses the discoveries, ideas, and inventions of the Greco-Roman time as its foundation. These surviving ideas from the past not only influence our modern world, but also influence my personal life quite considerably. I did not realize it at first, but a lot of things I do are closely related to the creations and innovations of Greece and Rome. I strive to learn new things, and I know that I am far from anyone I would call wise.…

    On a Tuesday evening two months into my junior year, I realized my life was changing. I was transitioning from child to adult in society’s eyes. I was working, driving, and taking more difficult classes to prepare for college. The more responsibilities I accepted, the more I was treated like an adult. It was not until two months later that I realized I was changing.…

    My decision to return to college was purely random. There was no pondering over the decision; no weighing in the pros and cons, no thinking it through or any real thought behind it. I literally woke up one morning and said to myself “I think I’ll go back to college” and I made the call. I called the College of New Rochelle and made the appointment for the admissions test. And before I knew what was actually happening, I was a matriculated college student.…

    Taking ownership of my learning for me will involve proper time management that will allow me to meet all of my obligations in my educational, professional and social life. My education experience so far at UoPeople has made me realize how much I truly did not know about the topics I am learning, different methods of learning, and how education comes to us in a variety of forms. I have found so far that it is valuable to go back and review what I believed I learned especially after I obtain new information. I believe reviewing previous information will help me to self-assess and monitor my progress to my ultimate educational goal.…
