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.…
Even though it does not feel as though I have improved much, I know that the grades on my essays say differently. After looking over my essays, I noticed that I have become better with using evidence to support my papers. This, to me, is my best accomplishment. I have also improved on my word choice, organization, and how I use my quotes. If you were to compare the first paper I wrote to the last paper I wrote, I feel as though it would be obvious on how much my organization has improved.…
Avid Scholarship Essay There's always certain people in life that tell you goals are important. They start asking why people set goals for themselves if they already know it's too hard or impossible to achieve. I always believed the same thing. I never thought goals were important till I started growing up and set some goals for myself.…
Academic Success Plan For the 2016-2017 school year I have set many goals for myself. Three of my main goals was too first get distinguished honor roll for at least one quarter.

I have mixed feelings about his agument. First I feel students do need math in high school and middle school. I also belive the complex math they teach in school is not a good idea becuase the most students don't need that math after high school. So lets do some decutive reasoning. Im a student who will work a low paying job the rest of my life.…
This past summer I took an algebra class at STC that really boosted my academically confidence. I had gotten quite a few B’s in my last classes and just decided to switch that around and get an A in algebra. I have always liked algebra, but I was never too sure as if I was good enough to get such a high grade. I had an epiphany where I thought about my future. I thought about how if I wanted to succeed, I needed to try harder and push myself.…
I first saw "e" on my TI-36 calculator 2 years ago. I did not know what it was. Originally, my thought process told me that "e" was just an alternative symbol for pi that is only used in advanced and college math courses. But my brain decided that "e" was one of those an alphabetical variables I was seeing in my problems. (I was taking Algebra 1 at the time.).…
When I entered Grade 12, I decided to take Advanced Placement Calculus in Grade 12 because I wanted to challenge myself and absorb more knowledge in mathematics. I was a bit ambitious and confident all along because math is a thing which I addicted. However, when I was sitting in this dreamed class on the first day, I felt overwhelmed. The course is too challenging and the teacher speaking too fast, there are too many information in every single class. My grade started to go down and I almost give up.…
As a little girl, I always used to struggle with mathematics no matter how hard I tried. My grades were always fine, but I would get so frustrated that I always needed to ask someone for help. I remember being selected to take Algebra 1 in 8th grade, and although I was excited, at the same time I was extremely nervous. In my mind, I felt that I was not good enough, yet I still tried my best. There were times I gave up, but when I passed that class with a B, I was thrilled.…
Algebra 1 was a very difficult subject and concept for me to grasp. I struggled very hard, but still could not understand. I spent numerous hours studying, hoping that I finally understood the materials. I felt like I was a failure. I tried asking my teacher for assistance, but he never really helped me.…
Math wasn't always difficult, in the past I honestly think I was better at math or maybe math was just easier back then. In elementary school I remember that in award ceremony's I would be rewarded 3 math medals and only received 1 language arts medal. Now as for middle school, math did start to get a bit more challenging. If there was ever a problem that I struggled on I would just ask my friends or the teacher for help. In the past when there was a difficult problem I would just work on my own to figure out the solution, and if I couldn't find it I'd just ask for help.…
My Math Autobiography My relationship with math is neutral. I don’t hate it but I wouldn’t do it in my free time. I like that it takes a lot of energy to do it.…
Math has always been a favorite subject of mine and although I have never been the insightful mathematician, and I still struggle with abstract math problems, I always have a positive attitude toward the subject. Growing up in the elementary grades, I recall always getting good grades in math, but usually, those math problems only require the use of traditional problem solving methodologies. During that time, I loved solving math problems which involved only numbers, finishing a math problem before my classmates and also helping my fellow classmates. When I think about math in my early years, I realized how easy and uncomplicated the subject was. However, things became more challenging for me when I reached the higher elementary grades, high…
First Night After Math: For my first night of sleep, I had only gotten roughly 4 hours of rest with a quick interruption lasting around 5 minutes. I remember having a vivid dream, which is a usual occurrence for my sleeping habits. When I had first woken up, I had actually felt rejuvenated and well-rested. I had been able to perform well within my group meeting for another class project. However, I found myself feeling quite exhausted around 3:00 PM which prompted me to take a nap.…
I feel that I was able to accomplish this because of my hard work and great feedback that I have received from my classmates. My other important goal I had for myself was to fix all of my grammar errors which have haunted me throughout my entire educational career. I am most certain that I accomplished this goal mostly because of the help of my handbook without it I might have still been lost. I mostly feel proud of how well I did in my narrative essay because that was a first for me and was also the one that stressed me out the most. After completing it I found that it was really not that difficult the basic thing is just to tell a story about yourself and adding sources to provide backup.…
