From my personal experience, when I was in elementary school I remember my teacher would let us sit on yoga ball it always helped me concentrate and it helped me when I was really active because I could not move around, it will make me fall if I move around. I like the idea of standing desks because I prefer standing a lot but when I need to I could sit down on the tool, but I could still move my legs around and be somewhat active. So if one day you're feeling antsy you can just stand. Also I think if your tired it could help you stay awake. Mark Benden also states that sitting desk can cause kids to be obese, he also says that too much sitting is bad for your health.…
My interest in physics was initially ignited during my sophomore year. I signed up for AP Physics 1, taught by a teacher in his first year, right out of college. His main goal was to encourage students to apply physics to the world around them and identify the relevancy of the course material. I was immediately hooked and I bought book after book about Einstein's Theory of Relativity, the Big Bang, and quantum mechanics. I was eager to learn as much as I could; in doing so, I realized that working in a laboratory setting, conducting experiments and applying equations, is something that I am truly passionate about.…
Currently biology is my favorite subject. I think it is cool about learning the basics of life. It is also disturbing at the same time what we cannot see. Biology is something that makes me want to know more. As a future profession I want to have some sort of a lab job, hopefully in the medical field.…
Notably, I have always loved anything science related, even when growing up I would study my mom's biomedical flash cards. No wonder why I have chosen to pursue a major in biology. Moreover, when you are a child you start transcending into what you are destined to be without even noticing it. Whilst becoming fascinated with science I wanted to solve the problem of poverty, building housing for the poor, providing a fresh supply of clothes, and guiding them to find jobs or better yet create jobs for them to do would be amazing. Getting accepted into Saint Leo University can guide me onto the pathway of success.…
I was 10 years old. I looked from the edge of the mat, unaware about the endeavor I was about to take the moment my foot touched that mat. I finally decided to walk on, like they had taught me by bowing, it was the first of a near million times I was going to do this. I was a white belt, at the best taekwondo centers in the area. All the kids, stood to the side eerily silent, waiting for instructions.…
High school changes people. They express themselves, become opinionated, and they start to look at the world differently as they experience things they have never encountered before. A wise Oliver Wendell Holmes said, “Man’s mind stretched to a new idea never goes back to its original dimensions.” This quote is an excellent way to describe my experience in high school.…
Anyone can go to seventh grade but, first you must finish sixth grade. I think that I should be able to move up to seventh grade since I have gotten amazing grade through out this whole school year. In social studies, E.L.A, and, math I have learned many new things. Some of the new things that I have learned are algebra, perfect paragraph form, and about the economy. I think that I am eligible to go to seventh grade.…
In the seventh grade, I faced a large transition in life. The previous year I had experienced middle school for the first time, but I would make that entrance again. I moved from Texas to North Dakota, where seventh grade was the first year of middle school. I took on those same fears and hopes that I had faced before, but in an unfamiliar place where I had no one except for family to give me support. I tried a lot of new things that year, mainly wrestling.…
It was the big day, 182 days past and it was finally summer. Sixth grade was over and the summer couldn't have gone by any faster than it did. Seventh grade was coming and it was coming fast. I was the new kid in sixth grade.…
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.…
People sometimes forget that not everyone is capable of being in a high school environment. People are so focused on succeeding, that they forget it is okay to fail. Moving in with my mother was a choice I needed to make. A new house, life, and beginning, was exactly what I needed. Moving meant a change in schools.…
Personal Narrative I have been to three different schools throughout my entire life. These schools have shaped me into what i am today. I have always thought that everything happens for a reason. Going to these three different schools has led me to where I am today. I’ve experienced a lot throughout the past couple of years.…
For the first five years of elementary school, I attended the small school located at the back of our church’s property. Enrollment ranged from about 10-15 students in 1st through 8th grade. The last three years of my grade school experience were spent attending Lodi Seventh-day Adventist Elementary. This school went from kindergarten to 8th grade and fed into Lodi Academy, so in all, kindergarten through 12th grade! I came from a small, two-room school, and seeing as I was not very accustomed to being with such a large body of students, suddenly becoming immersed in a class with more students than that of my entire old school was definitely intriguing!…
Every since i was in elementary these two subjects caught my attention. It wasn’t until middle school that science caught my attention more so i started paying more attention in science class than math class. In 8th grade we built a rocket and mine happened to be one of the ones who flew the highest and stayed i the air the longest. After that experience i really got fascinated by science. When i got to high school it wasn’t until sophomore year that i was put in an honors chemistry class because the teachers had said i deserved to be in a higher placement class.…
Science is what I live for. science is my life. I thought every thing could be explained through science or logic. But it could not explain one of the biggest incident in my life. It can't explain Amelia.…
