In order to study personality, psychologists devised a plan to qualitatively measure the traits that differentiate humans from one another. The Big Five Factor Model provides a concise measurement of five basic human qualities that most every person possesses. These qualities fluctuate throughout life and the quiz seeks to measure these changes throughout development. While the conclusions made based off this model are generalizations, it provides a clear view of how certain personality traits…

In elementary and middle school receiving my report card was something I dread the most. On top of that, I also dreaded getting the yellow envelope signed by my parents stating that they have received and gone through it. Seventh grade was the year that I have received my first “F”. For that reason, I did not want to hand my parent my report card. It was a Friday, I was in my homeroom and everyone there was eager to get their report card and then leave. On the other hand, I was sitting at my…

Texas Virtual Academy (TXVA) is a web-based school designed to provide online public school education to children at no cost, whereas Hebron High School (HHS) is a public school, which is a part of a district that offers free public education to children in the community. Unlike HHS, TXVA students are not face-to-face with their teachers every day. Therefore students are allowed to email or call their teachers as a form of communication and they also have the opportunity to talk to their…

I rushed to finish typing my paper the night before it was due, barely comprehending the words I typed, hit the print button, and put the paper in my binder. Prior to enrolling in dual credit Composition, I had been just barely putting enough effort in to get A’s in my English courses and dual credit American History when it came to writing papers. The techniques I have learned throughout this course have encouraged me to cogitate more about my paper topics, allowing me to better convey messages…

I used to hate my handwriting; I despised it. My own mother used to deride me for it. She would tell me it must be illegible to anyone who wasn’t me. However, I knew that wasn’t true in the slightest - I couldn’t even read it myself half the time. So, I started to type everything, avoid handwriting at all times. Sometime sophomore year, my friend and I were working on a project together, and she had the loveliest handwriting. She wrote in condensed, flowing cursive that could make words…

Methods We began this experiment by laying out the needed materials to find the chromatography of Skittles Sweets and Sours and Crayola markers. Using a ruler and a pencil, a line was drawn on all thirty chromatography strips 1.5 centimeters from the bottom of the paper. This was to ensure that the starting point for each chromatography process was consistent. The chromatography of the skittles was found first. We began by pouring water into a cup. A pipette was used to transfer fifteen…

Growing up my mom always read to my brother and I and taught us a love of reading. I always struggled in school trying to learn and retain the things that were taught except in English class, that class was my favorite not because I learned how to spell or write stories but because I got to read. Reading to me has always been an escape from reality, I can go into a book and lose myself for hours. I have had many literacy sponsors in my lifetime but My biggest sponsor would have to be my…

places anywhere. Another way is, it is hard to read a book, it is hard to concentrate and I can't remember the words while reading books. Another weakness that I have is that I can’t keep myself organized in all of my classes. Whenever I have multiple binders and keep getting tons of papers I lose track of my homework or my supplies. Which is really hard to keep my grades up and to help me throughout the year. The last weakness that I have is that I can’t write good. When ever I wrote fast or…

I have now written five short stories, several poems, and three unfinished novels. Yet, my passion for writing has not waned. However, this passion did not always exist. The catalyst that ignited the fire was an assignment. Despite it being school related, this was no ordinary homework. “Class, today we write a short story in honor of our poetry curriculum” those were the words that lit the path for a future I had never dreamed. For that assignment is one of the best occurrences to happen, it…
