Personal Narrative: My Freshman Year
Back in 2012 I was accepted into Early college academy at south-ridge (ECAS). This school is particularly special because it allows high school students to take dual credit courses in a community college. Obtaining high grades in my classes while also being required to do my best was something I always had trouble with. I was the the type of person who didn't mind a 70 when it came to report cards, until I found out colleges didn't like students with low grades or at least with low performance like me. My freshman year I made the decision to improve my grades and become a better student. Freshman year consisted of Majority C’s in my grades. Sophomore year I struggled quite a bit more with my classes than freshman year since I began my dual

    Personal Narrative: My High School Career

    The reason my academics aren’t going well as you or I would like is because of the several family issues I’ve had to face during my high school career. It began my Sophomore year, I found out my mom needed surgery in her arm so the chances of her cancer spreading would be reduced. I was under a great deal of stress worrying about my mother, taking care of my four siblings making sure they knew everything was going to be okay, even though I wasn’t sure myself. It was all up to me; while my other brother worked to help with bills, my mom being in the hospital, and my dad working. Taking care of my siblings consisted of cooking, homework, cleaning, nightly routine, and putting them to bed. When the work was done it would be around 10 o'clock. It was already tough to buckle down and focus on homework without all the stress. With all this my first semester grade was less than great.…

    Personal Narrative: My College Life

    I am a person that is weird and creates her own world I can say so passionate that what makes me unique. I grew up in a country that wasn’t noticed that much and was much going on there but even so I tried my best focusing on my studies that I can be here at the moment getting ready for college .

    Personal Narrative: My Freshman Composition

    Freshman Composition has done so much for me academically. In previous years I have had to do little to no writing and even when we did there were no rules or writing process we had to follow. This class has built a great basis for me, towards my academic future. I do realize that I am far away from being even an average writer, but I enjoy and accept that challenge to myself on becoming a competent writer. Parts of my writing, that still need to work are my introductions and sentence fluency. While I believe that my strong suits are, that once I get past my obstacles of writing that I have the potential to write something that will make a difference, other than that all my skills are still very raw. I’ve learned many things during EN101, the…

    Why Grit Is Important

    I had decent grades during freshman year, but as I started taking more and more ap classes and harder classes, I couldn’t keep up. It’s not that I couldn’t keep up, I was just too tired to keep up. The work piled up and my grades were going down. This trend would continue throughout junior and senior year. I managed to pass my classes, but at Lowell, that’s not enough to go anywhere.…

    Personal Narrative: My Sophomore

    One of my challenges was in my Sophomore year when I didn't make the varsity team because I was not in good condition. The other challenge happen in my junior year when I got injured a week before the championship game and I had to recover before the game. When I was a sophomore I tried out for the varsity soccer team at my school but I did not make it, because I was not at that level. Some of the reason I did not make it were ,because I was overweight, slow, not strong enough and would put too much pressure on myself so I was not able to complete a pass or a shot. Those were the things I needed to work on so I could become a better soccer player. I was really upset…

    Critical Literacy Narrative

    However, I ended up failing my calculus class and barely passing my economics class due to the numerous activities I was taking a part of and having to work part-time to cover my living expenses. The struggle that I had faced academically was a huge shock to me because I had been among the top ten percent students in my high school, and never once in my life did I had to take tutoring. Even though I was going to tutoring twice a week and setting more time aside to study, I still failed my exams which caused me a tremendous amount of stress. As a result, I packed up my stuff went back home to enroll at El Paso Community College to relieve the tensions of having to live by myself and to rethink of my goals about what I wanted to do in my college…

    Personal Narrative: My Life At Catherine Hall

    For my freshman year, I had the help of my brother, but by tenth grade, he graduated from MHS and went to college. My sister helped me out to, but not as much, because she got in even more trouble than I did. She lost her freshman scholarship. Once I was in tenth grade, I was doing okay. My grades were good, but I didn't get effort and conduct or honor roll. By eleventh grade, I was a perfect student. Well… not so perfect. I didn't get effort can conduct or honor roll, but was very close. As a senior, I got no levels and only missed honor roll by a point. Effort and conduct, I also missed by only a point. My graduation was a lot of fun, and I got my ring, which says “Class of 2021” on it in actual gold!…

    Personal Narrative: The Early College

    The Early College was the push I needed to better myself as a student and as a person. In high school, I received stellar grades and test scores without trying. I never needed to study, and I did the bare minimum for a majority of my assignments. Occasionally, I would find an assignment that I loved and go way beyond the requirement. I was a teacher favorite, but I was disliked by other students because I was a bit of a show off with my intelligence. I never needed time management skills, so I never developed them. While I was received good grades, I did not improve any of my skills or abilities. This program helped me find my faults and make changes that have made a world of difference.…

    Personal Narrative: What I Believe In Freshman Year

    Well what I believed in freshman year and now sophomore year is the complete opposite. The beginning of freshman year, I believed that I can be friends and trust anyone; however now is different because I change and what people around me what they did to me. Well there's a couple of things that happened, but I'm going to stick with one something that happened to me recently. What happened was this person turned everything against me, this person made me not trust the people who I trusted for years. What I really believe in now from last year is that get to know someone before you trust someone. I honestly just don't get some people why they do the stuff they do, and why they can be just awful to other people. I never knew that people can have…

    Academic Probation

    My first two years of high school seemed very scary to me. I started following the wrong crowd because I believed that hanging with this crowd would protect me. With the help of some adult individuals, I later realized that I was headed in the wrong direction, so I turned to sports. Initially, I did not take sports seriously it was just something that allowed me to stay out with my peers. Later, I begin to enjoy sports. It sad to say that I did not take my grades seriously. If I had listened and been more attentive my GPA could have been at least 2.8. I am not proud of my GPA which is a 1.93 but I do believe that it is not a true reflection of my capabilities.…

I knew that college was different than high school but I continued with the norm. Now, that its time for mid-term grades to be posted, I have realized that College required more time management and consistency within the study habits. Thinking about my mid-term grades has changed my mind set.…

    My School Experience

    I graduated from Newberg High School in 2012, with a 1.9 cumulative GPA. I was happy just to walk on graduation night with my friends. The summer before my senior year, I took two full classes of English, and one term of biology through credit recovery, and a drug diversion class through the state. I was motivated to take care of my school work that year and let my social life take the back seat. I could not afford to fail anymore classes or to get into any more trouble. So that’s what I did. My grades weren’t pretty, but they were all passing.…
