My Three Subjects In High School

Great Essays
There are many subjects that I have excelled throughout my elementary, junior high, and high school. These three subjects that I have excelled in would be math, English, and science. My elementary years, it was pretty simple to me after having one amazing teacher that was very patient with me. My junior high year, it was a whole new other level. This time, equations had letters inside of them. Though, I got the hang of it and it just soon became my favorite subject.

I had to actually read the instructions and look very closely at all the examples inside the text book.
My second subject I have excelled in is English. In elementary, I did not have a problem with my English subject. I loved to help edit other students’ essays. We even exchanged with

I had a teacher named Mrs. Begay, and she had to be really patient with me. Other students in class understood everything and helped each other out. I had a hard time getting along with the students and asking them for help. They would help me, and do their best to explain that this is how this equation works. Most of the time, I thought they were just guessing and were too lazy to explain how it worked. Mrs. Begay saw the struggle that I was going through. I didn’t want to ask for her help anytime at all because I thought she would say, “I explained enough already, so you should know by now.” One day, she came by and sat by me during class while the rest of the students were doing their work. Then slowly, I looked at her and asked if she could help me. She smiled and said, “Of course dear.” Each step of each math equation, she helped me out. Slowly, I began to understand every math equation that I got. When it was math time, she came over and asked if I needed help. I looked up at her knowing that I could do the math work, and said that I wanted to try it out on my

I never felt like I was any good at writing, and spelling is still not my strong suit. I always felt like I was better at math. My attitude towards writing was my biggest hindrance to my success.…

    In the American education system, students are judged from an early age whether or not they will ever reach the standards previously placed before them. The expectations for adolescence are ever growing, and after falling behind it is easy for a student to become lost in the world known as “remedial.” Once deemed as such, it becomes nearly impossible to shed said label and become, at best, average. Breaking free from previously set inadequacies and challenging the unknown world of education are goals in which anyone can accomplish. In Mike Rose’s book Lives on the Boundary, he talks about his early years being placed in a vocational course at the secondary school he attended.…

    From the Mesopotamian civilization to the present day civilization, writing has taken a place of importance in our daily lives; something I have always struggled with. Through school the most difficult subject that I have always struggled with is English. Growing up my first language was Spanish due to the fact that my parents do know much English. My parents were never able to read to me in English preventing me from hearing and seeing the English language; it was not until I entered elementary school that I was exposed to English. This has contributed to my difficulties in English courses throughout my education.…

Everyone else in my class was going to take BC Calculus so I thought I should too, I could handle it if they could.…
