Personal Narrative: My First Biology Test
For my first biology test I received a grade that I am not proud of. To be completely honest the night before the test I attended a concert and didn’t get to sleep until two in the morning. This optical is defiantly something that I could have avoided. I should not have attended the concert, or at least I should have prepared myself weeks in advance knowing that I had a concert the night before. This is my second time taking the class and I expected better out of myself. I made the same mistake I did last year by not studying till the week of the test. Another obstacle was my interest, I am not interested in the topics we are discussing but as a student I need to ignore preference and work on doing my best. Most biology test is memory based

    One of the professions I have a lot of interest in would be marine biology. I took the high school course on it last year and I had a lot of fun in the class. The critters were adorable and I was able to play with all of them, whenever I wanted. My favorite, honestly, would have to be the brittle sea star. It was so cool!…

    “We all stray from time to time….and when you do, OWN IT! If you deny it….you are giving up control again.” This can teach a lesson to people struggling with drugs and alcohol. If you deny that you have a problem, you will continue to let these things control your life, but if you own up to it, you can help yourself or get help from others. The quote, from the “I don’t know the Bible…” paragraph, “‘Well done, my good and faithful servant,”’ reflects what I believe in and what I have learned. Growing up I heard many people tell me, “God first, others second, and yourself last.” First of all, these two quotes are telling me to live a faithful life by putting God first. Also, to put others before me and serve them just like Jesus did.…

    As a kindergartener, when I grew up I wanted to be a princess, or own a hamster farm, or never really grow up at all. In second grade I developed an obsession with the ocean and what lives in it, specifically sharks. Because of my love of sharks I decided that when I grew up I wanted to be a marine biologist. When I made this decision I never knew what a big part math played in this profession. Math has always been my biggest weakness when it came to my education. I would spend hours trying to understand all the numbers and what to do with them. I know now regardless of my love of the ocean, I would have ended up being miserable having to spend the rest of my life constantly feeling confused and idiotic.…

    I’m impressed by the speed of it, of drawing it across the page. As long as it’s steady it doesn’t get blurred. I’m scanning books, my grandmother, the one whose books I want to scan, she was an observational biologist and has books filled with notes and beautiful sketches. I got the Fujitso to scan them, but I don’t want to cut off the…

    When I was fifteen, my mother hauled along two of my friends and I, to a reunion in Phillips, Wisconsin. The whole way to the reunion I was thinking about how thankful I was to have friends with me, to help me escape from the cheek pulling and "cutesy-wootsing", I would receive from the relatives. At the reunion the adults talked among themselves and the children played together. If at this time I would have realized how important my ancestors were, maybe I would have chose to listen in with the adults? I do not think so. After returning from the reunion my mother showed me an old picture of a man that she said was the Czar of Finland, and that I was in fact related to royalty. After some research I figured out the facts for myself.…

    I often ask myself what my purpose is in life; am I here to help others or to write a book? Maybe to sing the most somber song, but then again I do have a dreadful voice. One thing that has always caught my attention was how prodigious the human body is, so I wanted to follow a career in the health and science field. I came to admire dentists because of the experiences I had with people in the particular field. Some skills I have to help me prosper are my analytical thinking and how I relate and connect with others. My ultimate goal is to help people feel and look better, a happy smile can make a difference.…

    Mrs Peters announces, “You have fifteen minutes to study. As soon as the timer goes off I will hand out the test and talking will not be permitted or it will be an automatic office referral and a 0% on the test.” I begin to panic because I realize that as soon I look in my folder for my notes to study over, I realize that I left them on my kitchen counter. This makes me feel even worse about the situation. Now, I was sure that I wouldn't be able to do well on the test. I think at least I didn’t forget my calculator. I wait until the timer goes off. Mrs. Peters begins to hand out the tests and I start to dread how well I will do. I then am handed my test. I look through the test and recognize some problems that I know how to do. I read through the test and begin to work out and evaluate problems. I am beginning to get distracted by the quietness of the classroom and listening to the tapping, the clicking of the clock, and cough or sneeze every now and then. After I begin to get off topic I always remind myself to get back to work and to try to focus. I begin to near the end of my test. I feel pretty confident that I am doing pretty well. I did not expect this feeling. Then, I finish up, look over the test one more time, and I raise my hand so that my test can be collected. Mrs. Peters comes by and takes my test and gently smiles at me and pats me on the back. I sit and wait until everyone finishes their tests. Soon, everyone…

    I did not learn my communicating skills until I took my microbiology class. I had to do a project on sexual transmitted diseases (STD) and it required meeting after class. Being shy and not confident enough, I didn’t want to meet my group. Dr. Nande called me one day because some of my group partners complained to him. I stood in front of him looking down nervously on what he was going to say. He read my body language and just said that I can either tell him what the problem is or I can take a zero. At the moment, I had a flash back of my classmate when he was expressing his problem to my English teacher in high school. My first word that came out of my mouth was to Dr. Nande that I want to do the project on my own. But he said that it would…
