The Influence Of Physical Science

An incident I have encountered for three years is failing at science throughout the year. Going through high school enjoying time outside of school and as much time as I could in school, I started to slip with my grades. My grades started to slip fast, especially in science freshman year. That is when it all started.

When it all started freshman year I had Physical Science with Ms. Saxon, she was also my volleyball coach that year so I felt very comfortable with her even though I did not know her teaching techniques. As a few months went on it was nice and easy and smoothly going. In about December right before Christmas vacation we had our first unit test. I did not even think it was going to be hard at all. Therefore I did not study at …show more content…
This year I took Biology with Ms. McCabe. At first is was very confusing and difficult right away. She even started to make references towards physical science and since I did not really know much about physical science that made me fall back in biology too. It was getting very difficult to try to understand anything the teacher was talking about. Ms. McCabe kept giving out homeworks everyday along with quizzes and tests too. I looked down on myself and failed everything for months but still tried to understand what was going on. The only thing I was decent at doing in biology was the labs because it was a step by step visual and hands on. Although, that unfortunately wasn’t good enough to get a good satisfying grade. I started to do quiz corrections and extra credits almost every week sometimes even twice a week. These were only worth a few points here and therefor but I noticed they finally started to add up and bio started to make sense. Almost every night and every morning before we had a quiz or test I would study hard. Finally, thankfully I passed biology with Ms.McCabe; I very well could have done better and passed with a higher grade if I did better in physical science and at the begin of this
