Pre-Calculus And AP Calculus

I love challenging myself, to test my own limit. Therefore during my Sophomore year, I decided to take Pre-Calculus and AP Calculus at the same time. This was quite a bold move for myself, due to the fact that I would have to learn Pre-Calculus on my own in order to pass the class, and I was not a very good math student to start with. Both my Pre-Calculus teacher, and my Calculus teacher tried to discourage me from doing that. However, I was ready for the challenge and I was determined to make myself better at math. The work load I had to deal with was unimaginably arduous, as I had to learn Pre-Calculus as fast as I could. Even when little homework was given to me, I had to take that time to study and progress in Pre-Calculus. This abided me close to no time for any relaxing or any type of enjoyment. …show more content…
I lost 20 pounds within the first 3 weeks of that semester due to the incredulous amount of workload and the stress. However, I managed to succeed and I learned all of Pre-Calculus by myself at home in about 3 weeks. Therefore, I was easing through Pre-Calculus, and AP Calculus was not a struggle any longer. After taking Pre-Calculus and Calculus at the same time, Math became an ease. I began tutoring freshman students along with any of my friends who needed help on my own time. Through it all, I succeeded in taking Pre-Calculus and Calculus at the same time, and I prevailed with two A’s, along with improving my mathematics skills enough to tutor struggling

In middle school I was put in advance math classes and it still wasn't a challenge but then in my junior year of high school things started to get difficult.…

    National Honor Society: Personal Statement

    Teddy Roosevelt once said that nothing worth having comes easy. With this in mind, I have actively spent my high school years working to ensure that my success and achievements are fruits of hard work and perseverance, rather than sheer luck. These past four years, I have dedicated my young mind to absorbing the valuable knowledge that pools before me in my rigorous AP courses. In addition, I also invested a good portion of my time into my school’s band program. Although balancing academics and such a demanding extracurricular activity was difficult, I managed to find the time to also participate in very rewarding organizations such as National Honor Society, among others.…

    Personal Statement: My Passion For Sports Medicine

    I was unfamiliar with the process of choosing the order of courses that would transition me to graduation. As a result, I took several non-required courses, and I even took some of the needed courses, for my degree, out of order. Needless to say, I hit an academic wall that lasted five long semesters. It would have been easier for me to change majors for the sake of graduation, but being in such a predicament only sharpened my perseverance and molded my determination. While these academic complications seemed unbearable at the time, my senior year turned out to be my most challenging year.…

    My Junior year of high school was my challenging year, the reason to that is because we had to study for our Act also we had our grad MCAs to take.
