Final Project: North Carolina Science Olympiad

Improved Essays
When given this project in class, I had no idea what to do. From not understanding what Mr. Hogwood explained then, my classmates started asking so many questions confusing me even more about the final project. Looking at the sheet of paper that was handed out in class. I started to think about the three essays that we did this semester, trying to figure out what to do. It came to my mind on what I should do after the discussion in class. I have finally decided what I am going to do for my final project. For my first revision I have decided to do a PowerPoint for my second essay that I wrote. The second essay was about North Carolina Science Olympiad (NCSO). In the essay, it talks about how it is an organization for kids from Kindergarten to twelfth grade that competes in science competitions. There are many things in the science field and in NCSO there are many things that it focuses on in the essay I talked about two of those things engineering, and technology. For the second revision I have decided to make a brochure about my third essay that I wrote which was about how people portray black women in the media.

Education, Fun, and leadership skills. In Education you are learning lots of Science Technology Engineering and Math (STEM). It’s fun because you are meeting new people each year. This year I was the Co-Captain of NCSO. I was there when the captain couldn’t make it. I sent out emails reminding the students that there were meetings and many other things. I think this also helps you be a better person. After that I have a picture that I added that wasn’t in the essay and my works cited. I think this revision was easy for me to do. After I figured everything out and how I was going to do it, it was much easier than I think it seemed at

    The topic I chose for my science fair project is: Which Saxophone Reeds are the Loudest? I chose this project because my cousin did this project a couple years ago and it inspired me to try for myself. I did not ever hear his final result about which reeds ended up being the loudest. I did hear some of the different materials and strengths of the reeds that he used and I chose more strengths of reeds than he did. There are three important facts about reeds.…

    Throughout high school, I have been involved in many activities. I started off with the STEM academy in my high school. In the STEM academy, we held special events that teach people, especially kids, about new experiments and science-related careers. I helped out the STEM academy by explaining people about the experiments, the purpose behind the experiments and cleaned or organized lab equipment. I was a part of the STEM academy for approximately three years in high school and I really enjoyed it because I knew I could make a difference in my community.…

    Freshman Reflection

    Freshman Composition has resulted in many sleepless nights and has been by far the most difficult class I have ever taken. The class is designed to get a student ready for college life and realize that everything is at a much faster pace with assignments being assigned daily. Throughout this portfolio it should be clear that in the beginning of the semester I had struggled in my writing and have progressively become better as a writer. Personally, the biggest accomplishment for me was to not procrastinate and gain greater word choice to put in my writing pieces. Having tons of work assigned to you, with all the homework from all other classes that a student has, can be difficult for a student to stay focused and get everything done, and that…

I have learned many things about my writing style that I had not noticed before this class. For instance, I realized how much I used the word “you” or “we” in my writing without even thinking about it.…

    Introduction Looking back at my essays from my first semester in Composition I, I can definitely see that I have improved tremendously. My learning from my Composition II was not so much about learning concepts, but it was more about improving what I already learned last semester, and adding onto it. Compared to last semester, my learning this semester came from paying attention to details, following the rules, and adapting to a new teaching style. While last semester, my learning came from new concepts like ethos, pathos, logos and knowing what they are and how they work.…

    English 219 was my first college level English course, and through attending and completing all of the assignments I have learned many skills that I believe will greatly help me in my future courses in college.

It has helped me to become more confident in my writing skills and provided me with an excellent basis for me to continue on with next semester, and throughout the rest of my schooling experience. Throughout this class I have learned many things, but perhaps the most important is the steps to writing an essay, and the planning options.…
