which I believe I exhibit. I believe that I would make a quite valuable member of

higher than a 4.0. I always complete assignments on time and to the best of my

abilities, without dishonesty. I also do not just use my academic gifts for myself,

    I believe I am a good candidate to be selected for the Robert Vela High School National Honor Society because I am a dedicated student. My grades do reflect my abilities as a student, but my work ethic in the co-curricular activities that I participate is what really defines it as I put a lot of time and effort into them. In U.I.L. calculator applications, which is the main activity that I partake in, I sacrifice my time almost everyday after school and sometimes my lunch period throughout the school year, as well as the majority of my Saturdays to compete and practice. Not a lot of students would give up this much time and effort unless they are very dedicated. This also reflects my leadership and character as one has to work and communicate…

Although there are countless methods that have been debated and finessed, the use of the traditional grading scale seems to be a large source of current disputes. Some teachers argue that such a fixed system of testing and ordering pits students against each other, creating an air of competition that should not exist in the classroom. It gives a child a number and tells them how “good” they are. Other educators say that this is not necessarily detrimental.…

    From the moment I took my first step into the classroom, I knew that this class would be completely different from the other management classes I have taken. I was terrified that I was walking into unknown territory, and I did not know how to act. The class is completely unstructured and it is not something I was used to, so I did contemplate whether I should switch out of the class or not because I was weary of change. In the end, I did decide to stay in the class because I wanted to overcome my fear and to allow myself to experience something new. The whole class setting and the way we approach certain topics was very unorthodox, and it took me awhile to reevaluate my understanding of what management is.…
