Reflective Essay: Cycle Bootcamp Class

Improved Essays
The week before spring break, I attended another Cycle Bootcamp class. This experience was much different than my first one. When we got there, some girl made a sign-up sheet for the class and made the first 22 sign it to make sure no one cut the line. When I went the first time, it was just everyone pushing each other trying to get a bike. When we got into the class, the instructor looked at everyone already ready and decided we should just start early (so that was fun…). Next, he let the only boy in the room pick the first song we cycled to. About half way thought the class we got off the bikes and began our core workout (woo). This was much harder than the first time I attended cycle boot camp. We did 5 sets of planks, increasing in

    There are several qualities which are essential for a Special Constable at McMaster University. These qualities are integrity, quality, inclusiveness, teamwork, critical thinking, personal growth and a passion for life long learning. In terms of integrity and quality, I have demonstrated these with my steady employment at the Royal Ontario Museum over the last 10 years and my discipline free employment history. Integrity is the cornerstone of building trust with our community, I believe that being willing to learn from others, and being accountable when we make mistakes demonstrates the ability to be accountable for our actions and decisions. This also relates to the quality of service that members of museum have come to expect from me as…

    All it took was three days. Three days for my view on life, the way I live, and how I view others to change. Towards the middle of my sophomore year I received an email from my guidance counselor asking me if I wanted to attend the HOBY seminar during the summer. Only one student from the high school was chosen to go, and I was honored to have been that one. HOBY stands for the Hugh O’ Brian Youth Leadership Seminar.…

    The Grades Challenge Freshman year was a difficult year for my grades. I was failing a few classes and it seemed like the harder I focused on the percentage, the farther I got away from it. I talked to my teachers about how I could try to get my grades up and was simply told “you won’t get a better grade.” I was stuck with what I had is what I was told, and they ended up being right about that year. I was worried that maybe something was wrong; maybe I wasn’t as smart as I used to be.…

    “I have to go here, dad. I just have to,” I told my father during our first tour of Colorado Mesa University’s campus. “I already feel like a Maverick,” I admitted as I straightened out my new CMU ball cap from the campus bookstore. It was a strange feeling knowing that I would no longer be Lakeland High School’s most spirited student, but there was excitement in knowing that I would soon show my pride for Colorado Mesa. Images of my blue and white spirit wear quickly changed to be maroon and gold.…

    To me, writing is just ok, nothing special. It definitely isn’t something I get excited about. My first formal writing class was in 6th grade, where we followed The Institute for Excellence in Writing’s curriculum. My fellow classmates and I mainly wrote short, 1-3 paragraph reports on various historical topics. I did well in these classes, I just never really enjoyed the process of writing.…

    A half decade in the Marine Corps does certainly does a number on one’s faculties. Admittedly I was never much of an academic before, but by God the years of instant obedience to orders and a ‘keep it simple, stupid!’ mindset was not the miracle cure for my scholastic woes. With that being said, coming into English 105 I didn’t know if I’d excel or make a damn fool of myself, seeing the amount of cobwebs that had sprung up between my ears. To my surprise, I actually got off to a decent start it seems. One C, then nothing but A’s and B’s, not to shabby for a slackjawed jarhead.…

    Throughout this semester of English 101, writing has become more of a skill than a struggle. Writing was a challenge that I dreaded when I chose to be in the course, nonetheless with time, I learned from my mistakes and was able to improve. This course made me very doubtful on whether I could be capable of even writing a paper that would provide me with a decent grade, but at the same time made me push myself in my writing technique. In the end, I can reflect that I learned from my mistakes and wrote papers that took time and dedication to accomplish. I learned from this class to be confident in my writing and make all the mistakes to receive the grade I want in the end.…

    Before even entering high school, I made a decision that would ruin the next few years. Looking back, I had no idea it would have impacted me as much as it did, but even now I still wouldn’t have changed that decision. Everything that came after that decision, no matter how difficult, shaped me into who I am today, and I was able to meet some pretty amazing people and do a few things only a handful of people can say they’ve done. In elementary school, I was in the S.C.O.P.E. (Spotsylvania County Program of Enrichment) program, my county’s way of separating out students who they considered gifted and a distraction in the classroom.…

    It was a cloudy morning, in the tiny town of Pen Argyl, when I walked up the long steps toward my first year of high school English. With sweaty palms and shaky knees, I neared the large wooden door. Gripping my schedule tightly in my fist, I found the classroom and searched for my seat. To say that I was nervous was an understatement. I had heard about the teacher from her previous students, and their comments did not alleviate any of my fears.…

    My project began as a way for me to give back to the community in a way in which I could use my strengths to inspire and teach. Some of the reasons why I began my journey here at J. K. Lee were to become more assertive, responsible, disciplined, and self-confident. These were qualities that held me back from reaching my full potential. I wanted to incorporate these skills into my project and challenge myself in new and different directions.…

    Throughout life, we learn different lessons be it from a teacher such as your parents, guardians, spouse, etc. or just going out and living and collecting experiences. From these, we grow and become the person we are today. We learn to shape us into the person we are and motivate the things we do and believe. I believe heavily in three core things I’ve learned in my life through experience. These core principles are Trust is something earned, sometimes you must think outside the box, and don’t let the bad moments outshine the good.…
