Mistakes were made

chatty.At this age you are capable of making mistakes but they’re small sometimes. I was in 2nd grade and I wasn’t the brightest kid and I would always get hurt when playing. It got to a point where it would be rare if I didn’t visit the nurse's office. My arms had bruises on them and I had no idea how I got them. People would ask me how I got my bruises and scrapes and usually I knew the answer to every scrape and bruise. One day at school we were…

motivation (2010, p. 113). Such a claim was supported by a small-scale experimental study, conducted by Noel and colleagues, where a group of English students were learning French (1999, as quoted in Noel, 2010). In dealing with the issue of feedback, teachers might ask themselves many questions regarding whether it is necessary to correct a mistake, if so – when to do it (after the learner has finished talking or immediately by interrupting him or her), whether all errors should be corrected or…

motivation challenges and more complexing personnel issues. Each of these challenges brought with them the opportunity to reflect and see where improvement could be made not only at the Center but within myself as well. At times mistakes were made but I grew from them and am grateful for the mistakes more than successes, as it was through the mistakes that I grew the most. Years will past, but I will always recall my time here as a good one and I look forward to continuing my relationship not…

I'm writing to notify you of a waived traffic misdemeanor I have previously committed in December of 2015. I apologize for not disclosing such information on my primary application. I mistakenly believed that waived misdemeanors were not required to be reported. With the guidance of my pre-health advisor, however, I now know the importance of addressing such matter. As I was driving near my home at the end of a rainy day, due to my nearsightedness, I accidentally drove over the center line and…

was nervous and had butterflies in my stomach because I knew if I got caught I would receive a massive consequence. When they were not looking, I dashed through the back door and sprinted away from my house. It was cold and dark but, right when I got out of my house I felt a thrill of excitement. I ran the whole way to the park because I was so eager to get there. When I made it there I contacted my friend I was there and he told me to meet him next to the monkey bars. So, I walked to the monkey…

future. Everyone thought I was not meant to go to the medical field. Pushing all those negative comments to the side, I logged onto the computer and typed in what classes I had to take during high school to major the medical field. A lot of the sites were giving me many answers and opinions to decide on. I found one website indicating that if…

Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, both Sir Gawain and the knight have relatable problems. In both the “Wife of Bath’s tale” of Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales and Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, the knight and Sir Gawain differ in the severity of their mistakes,…

1863. Confederate General Robert E. Lee made the decision to take the offensive side and led an army of 60,000 rebel soldiers to the North. General Lee believed that advantage could be created by taking control of important military posts of the North, but General Lee made some poor choices and due to those mistakes, the South lost the Battle of Gettysburg. General Lee had headed North in hopes of taking control of Union posts, while Union soldiers were guarding Washington, D.C. and to…

Going in to GSW 1100, I was unsure of my writing ability. My high school did not focus on writing as much as they did other aspects of English. After my first essay was returned, I had a better idea as to what my strengths and weaknesses were at the college level. I found myself exceling in some aspects of writing, but found myself struggling in others. As Dr. Burroughs would say, “No one is a perfect writer, there is always room for improvement.” I’ve encountered numerous obstacles during this…

me. There were many mistakes I made before 211, but now I feel much more comfortable writing my essay and I will be successful in Ewrt 211. Before 211, I was a writer that didn’t understand much about writing and I often made my reader confuse. Every time I had to write an essay about something for the class, I didn’t know how to organize my ideas and I didn’t know how to put them together. I jumped into writing without second thought and wrote what was on my mind. Sometime, that made my essay…
