There is a student sitting in his dorm studying for his last final of his senior year in college. Furiously concentrating on his notes he scans sheet after sheet of information. His palms coated in a thin film of sweat from grasping his notecards so tightly. It’s 4am now and his eyes are bloodshot red and his exam is at 8:30A.M. After a few hours of rest he quickly took a shower grabbed his testing materials and left out of the dorm. He had his last date with fate on this day. A few weeks later this young man found himself standing proudly on stage. His robe gently swayed in the wind as he walked with his head held high and a gleam of future in his eye. Pomp and Circumstance played magnificently in the background. A new frontier awaits this

The answer to this question would be our first word. Just think about it. A child learning their first word has several hoops that the child must jump over in order to say the word. The first hoop would be understanding what word(s) is trying to be communicated to them. There auditory lobe must be very active in order to process what word(s) are being said to the child. After the first hoop is jumped the second hoop for the child would be learning how to make there vocal cords and lips work together in order to create the word. Most children do a lot of babbling in there early stages of life. From my previous psychology class, I have learned that this is the second stage of a child’s life begins when they start to babble. This means that their auditory lobe and frontal cortex are working together to understand the word being said to them and how to reciprocate the same word. The final hoop for the child after achieving the second hoop would be understanding the meaning behind the word. In the early stages of a child’s life, they will begin to start saying words that are repeatedly said to them, but this is only because synapses have not yet connected the word to any meaning …show more content…
I was not only trying to keep up with the high pace classes but also trying to keep my grades up as well. I did a decent job my freshman year but there was one class that stumped me. That class was physics. My first month of that class was a serious struggle. I had gotten my first couple of quizzes back and they were both a C-. I tried a variety of different studying methods (none in which worked) I tried looking up videos in order to help me better understand the material, but none of these avenues worked for me. I finally sent an email to my teacher asking to see if she could stay after school for a while to help me prepare for the upcoming test, and to better understand the material learned so far. She agreed. I stayed day after day for about four to five hours trying to understand the material. I was making steady progress, but the progress was still slow…until one day I had finally had reached eureka. I had stayed after school like I had been doing and I was trying to learning how to calculate the acceleration of an object in differentiating circumstances. I raked my brain over all the information that I had been learning thus far about the acceleration of objects. Slowly I began to piece the puzzle together on my piece of paper. I came to an answer and when I showed my teacher she looked back at me and smiled and said, “I think you finally got it Montel”. I was ecstatic. I had finally understood a major piece of
