Educational years

Of everything related to comprehension that was covered in class, I found close reading and text complexity to be the most important. Close reading essentially is comprehension, as it requires a complete understanding of the text. By rereading multiple times and breaking down individual sections of the text, the reader is able to gain increased comprehension than he or she would have otherwise. I have also reviewed my previous reflections in order to evaluate how to best correct my common…

As technology becomes an increasingly larger part of our world in the year of 2015, it is clear that certain things that may have not been relevant twenty years ago are becoming an increasingly large concern. Back in the day, things such as social media and the ways in which technology can be used today would have not been relevant research topics, as the information surrounding it would have been next to none, and in some cases, would have not existed at all. For this research paper, it will…

I have had quite a journey with writing, and all of the experiences that I have had have led me to believe that I am an okay writer. The first memory that I have of writing something is from the first grade. Our teacher would have us write short stories about whatever we wanted to, and then she would bind them into little books. I mostly wrote about my stuffed animals going on adventures. I am so glad that our teacher did this- it made writing seem like an exciting activity that was accessible…

the past thirteen years, many different areas of my life have changed, and with that, my levels of responsibility and what I take responsibility of. In education, friends, family and even in musicals, I’ve taken responsibility for myself and others, which has helped develop the picture of who I am as a person…

As a new grade nine at Brentwood, bright eyed and bushy tailed, I viewed my seniors in the highest of regard, for they could do no wrong. For all that I knew, they didn’t party, do drugs or get into any means of trouble. I remember the shock of finding out that my snowball date, an exceptional rugby player, polite young man, and not to mention a handsome one at that, was an avid cocaine user. How could someone like that, who went to a school such as Brentwood, do that? It was then that my veil…

how to write research papers. Computer hardware engineers need writing and reading skills in order to be able to write function and read them. They also need math skill to calculate functions. 9- 12th grade helped me out. Taking a math class every year. Learning how to divide, multiple, and figure out measuring calculations. My sponsors have been all of my teachers. Each one had a mission to take me from only knowing how to write my name to writing summary’s from different…

I have been conforming towards other people since the day I understood the concepts of how to be your own person; in other words, having your own style. I have two older siblings; a brother and a sister, and my sister is only a year older than I am. This tempted me to want to be just like her, which she did not enjoy as much as I did. I would try to be friends with her friends and of course at younger ages, we did not get along, so she would tend to push me out of her life. This…

I guess I forgot to take into consideration how crazy competitive I was when I wrote that. When I reached ninth grade, I struggled badly academically. My First semester I ended up with a low GPA, for what I was used to having. Fortunately, the next year I figured I out, for the next four semesters I had straight A’s. In ninth grade I was persuaded into going out for football. I was down to 200 pounds as my pill was helping me maintain my disease. I enjoyed football, and was fairly successful,…

three sub ideas for each main idea. You would then turn the three main ideas into paragraphs and use the sub ideas to guild each paragraph. Finally, you would write a conclusion to reflect on the three main ideas. Another big change in my ninth grade year was I started to get over my fear of talking in front of a class; I feel like this was a result of my increased confidence in my writing. Even though I had made great improvements in my writing, I still struggled with spelling. I felt like…

Education, a system used to conceive and better nations; however, America is starting to falter but North Carolina has become a cesspool of ignorance. Students today are lazy, apathetic, undisciplined, thuggish, and dedicated to nothing but selfish goals. On the contrary students themselves are not only to blame, the education system itself is an affront to the American society not just North Carolinas but the nations education system. Todays education system is based off the industrial…
