Prompt 2 I couldn’t have been prouder on the day I scored horribly on the SAT. Not the official one, but a practice one that was taken in a controlled environment. I knew I could have easily scored higher than the meager score I received that day, but that’s not important. It wasn’t the SAT score I was proud of that day, but rather the significant life transformation that also happened that day in Beijing, China. I was always an introverted boy in the past, and it all began when I was eight…
receiving my SAT scores and seeing how badly I got on the standardized test. Being honest, I barely studied for that test and had missed out on many opportunities my school has provided for test takers like myself to get higher scores. Sadly, I regret every decision I made during that time period for not signing up for that class, and begin lazy for not studying on my own. Because of this misfortune, I feel as if I most likely will not get into any Ivy League colleges because of my low SAT…
without thinking, and learning to remain impartial was one of most important lesson to me. Progressing on to tenth grade, we fell into our place and found out how things worked.

In our current state of events, colleges are trying to solve a problem that has plagued students in the past. Diversity, more specifically, an openness to diversity on college campuses. Unfortunately, the marketing of college…

-Timing during your presentation: Another important aspect is timing. How long should you take to make your speech? Some think that it should all depend on the subject you want to talk about, which is true; but you should also think about the timing for the speech by asking yourself just how much is enough to inform, entertain or educate people. How much is enough for questions after the speech? How long is long enough, when you are using accessories or tools to help you for your presentation?…
do, but we had to learn to be able to go to the next topic, and if we didn’t pass that subject with an eighty percent or higher we had to repay and retake the subject course till we got an eighty percent, we also had to dress in a white long sleeve tee with a tie, blue pants, and dress shoes.
