Not all academic classes have been easy for me. Math continues to challenge me each year, I have gone the extra mile to continue to challenge myself in this area and seek additional assistance when necessary.…
It all started in 7th grade when I struggled with fractions. The following year, I was put in “Bridge to Algebra”, which was a class for those who wasn’t ready for Algebra I, but also understands some Algebra. I passed the class so I was able to enroll in Algebra I for my freshman year. I was excited to move on to Algebra I, but I realized that everyone else in my school class was enrolled in Geometry and I was behind.…
I thought, since it was not easy for me, I was never going to understand it. I was too embarrassed to see a tutor, so I had convinced myself that Algebra was a waste of time. I focused on other subjects. I did what I considered good enough. Meaning, I passed with a C.…
What changes for MCbride is he starts to realizes that he can’t stay on the corner his whole life,he realizes that he has to try to make something out of himself. The moment that starts to define him was when he was almost killed messing around at the gas station. If I said I never fail i’d be lying,One example of my failure is when I Failed my Algebra class. I learned that Algebra is extremally extremally hard to learn when A teacher isn’t good at their job and what It takes to be willing even when not willing. I was willing even when I was not because I knew I had to try even if i didn’t get it at all.…
Math has always come fairly easily to me, starting when I took Algebra 1 as a seventh grader. I’ve excelled many years, even going into my school’s math and science program where the students are given honors math and science classes from ninth grade through twelfth grade. I’ve always been a step ahead in math so that is how I was able to enroll in calculus last year. Everyone else in my class was going to take BC Calculus so I thought I should too, I could handle it if they could.…
Algebra was easy for me, but world history got to me. I failed that class for the whole year so I didn't really get to enjoy my last year in band. Sophomore was always failing and I missed so many opportunities to be spotted as a jazz musician. One thing that also distracted me the most was how much denial I had when I found out that my Mom was getting sick. It was just a horrible year.…
After completing Unit 1 this is my assessment: I was excited that I finally completing Unit 1 this past Friday. So I pat myself on the back for putting in long hours and hard work of writing, editing, revising my assigned written material, before it was due. Upon treating myself, with butter pecan ice cream, for this accomplishment, I began to revisit everything in Unit 1. And when I looked at my assignments and waiting for my grades to show up in the "Gradebook" tool tab, I had made some frightening discoveries.…

Conundrums barge in without knocking, perhaps, that’s when people encounter what is known as, the real reality. Consequently, my mother and I faced numerous of dilemmas together, strengthening our connection. My most valued moment is the times I’ve spent bonding with my mother. I cherish spending quality time with the woman who has sacrificed absolutely everything in her capacity to see me flourish to who I am today. Moreover, every moment, activity, sorrows, joyful moment we have spent together has strengthened me and pushed me.…
“Oh my gosh”, I whispered with dread as i stared at the bright computer screen. I was in the middle of my classroom with people talking and laughing, but not me. “That’s the worst grade i’ve ever had.” I need to have more responsibility... It was just a normal friday afternoon, kids getting excited about the weekend; school was almost done.…
It was the summer I decided to be better. I had done gymnastics for years, but this year I wanted to be a level six. At the time, I was a level four and to skip levels was not only difficult, but rare. “I can if I work hard enough,” I told myself, and I did.…
I was eager for the challenge of fifth grade. My teacher in fourth grade, Mrs. Weisgurber, was constantly telling the class that fifth grade is ten times as hard as fourth grade. I guess I probably should’ve believed her on that. Actually, fifth grade was fairly easy, expect for math class. Math had never been my strongest suit, but I usually did well.…
Algebra 1 was an major excel to me,because I had to pass that test in order to graduate. It was not an easy task knowing my algebra teacher was always one me and pushing me to the task. You had work on top of work everyday. Most of time most of the math problem deal with letter. Lot's of problems were confusing…
I remember when I was 5, the first time I went to a building daily for 8 hours. I sat down on the cold blue chair. In front of me was a bin of crayons, all the colors of the rainbow: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and purple. I remember sitting in the cold room and having the freedom to draw marks on my blank sheet of paper. The dye scratching against the table, colors spreading across the canvas like the sun, rising in the early morning.…
From the very beginning, I enjoyed math immensely. I admired the format in which it was presented especially the very first phases of learning algebra in middle school. As I learned how to answer the equations, I was finding myself more intrigued with each step of the procedure and then having the teacher check my work in anticipation of knowing whether or not I had gotten the answer correct. I found myself focused intensely while following the teacher’s steps and then thoroughly reviewing the lessons from earlier in the day. At that present time math was becoming my favorite subject.…
