SMART KIDS GO TO TUTORING.
Everyone wants to have all A's on their report card, but is it extremely that easy? A teacher named Mr. Jupena believed I could go far in life, so he once told me a short story about his life through high school. He said that through high school, he was an A student, but always took the easy way out, and in his senior year of high school he was failing calculus, and had to go to tutoring. Embarrassed that he had to go to tutoring, he found out quickly that it isn't embarrassing going to tutoring, because in his calculus class was every single intelligent kid that he knew. Through that I understood that intelligent kids go to tutoring because of the urge to seek more than just an A, to gain knowledge. And after the new information I received I

Because in the first nine weeks I had a 3.6 gpa, and after Mr. Jupena sat down with me and told me he believed that I have what it takes to be successful. I took that very seriously and it paid off, so is it extremely easy to get all A's? Yes along with hard work, and primarily tutoring anyone can get all A's. And never worry about what people think of you because if you ask me, you might be carrying a textbook one day, and people might tease you; and the subsequently be an entrepreneur, and have those same people work for you! So go out here and show everyone who's boss and take control of your life, and future. That's why I chose Mr. Jupena for this assignment because without him telling me about that story, and pushing me to try harder, even when I felt like I've done sufficient; I wouldn't be here writing this I would probably not have ever tried to challenge myself, and would be in regular core classes instead of all honors classes. So please take this information I am giving you seriously because eventually you probably won't ever have to work hard ever again. So that's it, that's my story, and again I say "Everyone wants to have all A's on their report card,

    National Honor Society Application Essay For any human to exhibit qualities throughout their lifestyle, one must transcend in certain aspects of their nature. Everyone is born with a different character or personality and not everyone exceeds in all of the same categories, however; I would place myself among the four characteristics of scholarship, leadership, service, and outstanding character as some of the qualities where I excel. I have always been a very studious person, and I take pride in my achievements in the classroom. I was also raised to believe that my best is an A, so when I got my first B it was not something taken lightly. I try to remember that if you put your mind to something, then you can accomplish it, which reminds me of the quote by Mike Farrell, “If you try to do your best there is no failure.”…

    That stomach churning feeling of guilt for many, seems to appear as a small price to pay when completing an act of academic dishonesty.

Therefore, it is an easier way to receive the grade that one feels will lead them to ultimate success.…

College students, and even High school strive to reach a perfect four point zero semesters, or even acquire high honor roll. Unfortunately, according to John Taylor Gatto, and his article “Against School”, achieving that perfect semester, or making high honor roll, doesn’t always translate to receiving a honest education, but rather just schooling. On the other hand, Kristina Rizga, the author of the article “Everything you’ve heard about failing school is wrong” paints the picture of a non-fictional, academically bright character that lacks when it comes to standardize testing.

    Process Analysis Students in school wonder if it 's possible to get all A 's in their classes or maybe just one class. I’m going to start off with experience from school. With some of the experience that I had in school I think it is possible to get an A but the student has to be on the ball and not slack off at the end. Students just have to try hard and not get distracted when they are doing their work or studying. If they could do that then there will be no problem on passing the class with a good grade.…

    As a NCSSM applicant it is important to have a high level of maturity, an attribute I believe I have. In all of my classes so far in both middle and high school I have made an A, however I don't see that as the main objective.

Considering schools are meant for learning, that should be every students top priority, not necessarily grades. As for managing schedules and deadlines, in middle school I was part of the both marching band and the volleyball team in the same season.…
