My Favorite Mistake

song I really remember being my favorite song is Hotel California by the Eagles. Actually I loved and still love any song by the Eagles. It was that band and in particularly that song that me into music, and for that reason it will always be incredibly special to me. As I have aged I wouldn't say my taste in music has changed so much as it has drastically diversified. My taste in music has diversified so much that honestly I don't know that I could truly pick a favorite song. From Punk and Indie…

However, of course as an 8th grader I have a lot to work on when it comes to writing, chances are you have already found a few mistakes in this paragraph. When it comes to what kinds of writing I have come to like, I have to groups, the writing I like to read and the writing that I find fun to write.

Also, making mistakes on our work doesn 't mean you 're a bad writer. Instead of telling yourself get it as an opportunity to learn from those mistakes, in order to catch them next time we do any essay. Our first draft is not always going to be perfect. I learned that I have to watch out for my grammar, spelling, and sentence fragments. Going to the learning lab and working with the tutor was…

The Winged Victory of Samothrace is my favorite work of art from this course and was created about the second century BC. The Victory is a winged female figure stand on the front of a boat.

Winged Victory of Samothrace also wear a clock that has worked loose at her left hip and leg uncovered. The cloak appears to be held against the Victory’s body by the wing. The…

My first year at Cedar Shoals was unforgettable, I had no idea what to expect. Most people consider going into highschool as one of the big parts of your life. I was hesitant for the change since I was going into a much bigger school and meeting new people. I went into freshman year with a positive mindset, making new friends & knowing it was going to be MY year. I had faced many successes academically and faced a few failures that I am going to improve my sophomore year so I don’t make the same…

Like I had injured the paper with my mistakes. Of all the classes to fail a quiz in, biology was the one that I expected the least. As one of my favorite subjects, with one of my favorite teachers, biology was the class that I could count on to not only be interested in, but to generally do very well on every assessment, with or sans studying. This was the lowest score I had gotten on a quiz for the whole school year, let alone biology class. Allowing my disappointment to get the better of…

I have also learned that the spelling and grammar check is your best friend while writing a paper. Not only have I learned how to improve the content of my papers but I have also learned how to lengthen my papers. Before this class I could barely write a page, but now I go beyond that. I have never…

At the beginning of the year, I wanted my students experience failure and persistence outside of the arena of math, like the concept of the backwards bicycle. So we changed our dominant hand for a few weeks. This trial leveled the playing field, provided a common experience that was low risk, and allowed students the opportunity to transfer both struggles and successes to another area, math. The positive byproducts of this trial were students became better team members, enhanced their…

I believe that my writing skills have improved such as Dr. Beam has brought me to realize I need to think critically while writing the essays I composed in this class. While in composition I with Dr. Beam, our class was thought that I believe this class even though it does not pertain to my future career in the medical field, but knowing how to compose a well written paper is…

In my opinion, playing high school sports is one of the best extracurricular activities in high school. My freshman year I participated in football, basketball, and golf. I had fun playing each of these sports, and I took pleasure in being highly involved in hobbies outside of class. However, after my freshman year, I felt that I was too busy and needed to cut back on what I was involved in. So I decided to quit basketball. At first I thought it was a mistake to quit because I had been on a…
