Schoolwork

“'Time management' is really a misnomer; the challenge is not to manage time, but manage ourselves. The key is not to prioritize what is on your schedule, but to schedule your priorities,” philosophized Stephen Covey. Time management is all about delegation. One of the most difficult things I have ever undergone thus far in my twenty-one years of life is to efficiently find a healthy balance among my Penn Foster studies along with my job, family and other activities and responsibilities. I am a…

Some students are at disadvantages for learning due to dysfunctional households. This makes it harder to concentrate on schoolwork. Parents may also give very little educational encouragement. Perhaps it is because they can not give as much attention. Little attention receiving may be due to the lack of financial support, so the parent may be forced to work multiple jobs to…

in academic cheating is due to our society becoming more unethical, but I believe that this rise is due to the increasing pressure and competition in schools, teachers and parents putting more emphasis on high grades, and more distractions from schoolwork.…

practicing medicine as an emergency room physician. It will be a long road but I am dedicated and passionate. Currently, I have been working very hard in school to maintain my 4.0 grade point average. While I do spend a majority of my time on schoolwork, I am also involved outside of the classroom. While in high school last year, I was captain of the track and field team, a student tutor, and a member of the National Honors Society. Currently at UWM, I am a member of the American Medical…

A few years ago, during my sophomore year in high school, I got to experience something that not many others get to experience. While many high school students may go to school with an exchange student, I actually had the pleasure of hosting one, who stayed with my family in our house for the duration of the school year. He was a Japanese student named Takahiro Yamamoto, and he shattered my expectations. Every other exchange student that we had hosted up to that point was very quiet and…

Three hundred pairs of eyes sat before me: friends, family, and strangers. They came to India from all over the world. As I sat tuning and applying rosin while waiting for the master of ceremonies to finish speaking, I surveyed the hall and found my grandparents greeting guests with infectious excitement. I thought how grateful I was to receive an opportunity to play Carnatic violin in a concert hall in India. Carnatic music is a devotional art form that originates from South India. I grew…

It is inevitable that throughout a lifetime, one will undergo the experience of the death of a family member or loved one. Beyond this appalling occurrence is where the path of coping may differ from one grieving person to the next. One individual’s style of coping could be completely shutting down, simply because their emotions are shocked. Others may have a different approach, for example, myself. I experienced the death of my father in my early teenage years. Although there was a great deal…

off. After pondering on these thoughts for several days, I decided to rededicate myself to the sport; I found a more competitive AAU team to play for, IYB Basketball and Wayne PAL Wolfpack, and found myself a trainer. Everyday after finishing my schoolwork, I either went to the gym to lift and play basketball or went to an AAU practice or game. My mindset was to become better every single day in any aspect, whether it was in school or in sports. In the seventh grade, I had finally achieved the…

Since becoming an online student, it has been a testament of will power to every aspect of my life. Every day, I battle to adjust my daily work schedule, my personal life, and my school work. I fill in as a Physicians' Aid at Holy Cross Hospital. Monday through Friday, I leave my house around 6:00 a.m. for the 1 1/2 drive to make it to work on time. I am a multi-tasker in my occupation. I help medical attendants and specialists in admissions of their patients, taking patient’s weight and health…
