My Educational Experience Analysis
What I learned from my past educational experience, is to be organized and be ready for anything. All throughout high school, I took many college courses, and online courses. The college courses we very tough. Since they were college courses, they were a little more advanced than to what I was used to. In the classes, I would be forgetting assignments, and what was going on in the classroom. For example: we had to turn in an assignment (3 page essay) about yourself. I was very shy during my first two years of high school. That was another problem that I faced in my life. I struggled on this assignment because I really didn't know myself very well. I didn't know what I liked, and what I was good at. For those reasons, I stayed to myself during most of my high school …show more content…
I started to become introvert, quiet in class, and very anti-social. All of that changed my senior year. Since I am an ambassador at my school (North Edgecombe High School), it allowed me to speak up more, participate at events, and turn me into a better person. It was one particular event that changed my life around. The event was the: Teach For America Event. At the event, teachers from all around the world, came to my school to learn how to become a better teacher, and how to get their students more active in school. During the event, all the student ambassadors, including myself, had to be a part of it. At the beginning of the event, me and another ambassador had to open the event up by telling them our new mission and vision statement that the students ambassadors created, and why we created it. I was very nervous, but I did very well introducing the event to everyone. This event changed me for the better. Now, I am very sociable and out-going. This event prepared me to be a successful member of this community because it showed me to be true to myself, and if I believe that I can accomplish anything, I can, and I

    Set yourself up for success in college by taking your habits and ideas into consideration. For example, think about whether you are a morning person or an afternoon person. If you aren't a morning person, don't even think about signing up for an early class. Schedule courses later in the day so you won't be tempted to skip.…

    Since Jack stood up for me, I’ve regained my confidence. Nancy invites me over during the week and helps me learn to be more carefree and how to open up to others. Nancy was vehement while teaching me and was hoping I could start to fit in. Mr. Addams continues to tutor me after school and my grades have been gradually increasing. My classmates have also started to accept that I’m different and I’ll never be like them, but being different shouldn’t affect how I’m seen by everyone. I started to make small conversations with classmates rather than holding back my thoughts and others have seen my looks may be different than theirs but they could still be friends with me rather than judge my mistakes and the way I talk. I’ve had less stress since…

But this one thing changed my whole life. This was the thing that change me from an introvert to an extrovert. It was synchronized swimming. Before starting synchronized swimming I hated to play sports especially swimming because I had Aquaphobia. I was afraid that I would drown and end up dieing.

    When I first stepped into Anderson High School as a freshman, I was exceedingly confident in myself. I played sports, had gotten good grades, and planned to have an amazing high school career. Freshman and sophomore year were a breeze. If I am being straightforward, I did not focus much on my schoolwork. I did what was required of me and got good grades, but I did not go above and beyond. I had always been told by upperclassman, “It only gets harder from here. Enjoy it while you can.” Now I realize what that means.…

    When I first arrived on campus I treated college as if it were just an extension of high school. I wasn't taking my classes seriously and I was not studying appropriately and therefore on my first couple of test I received a wake-up call after receiving some of the lowest grades I had ever seen. I also was not organized and ended up missing assignment due dates and this led to my grades being lower than expected. So in my opinion, the best advice I can give First-Years is to be organized, be serious and attend…

    At a young age, I waited on the benches for my mother to retrieve me from carpool. I observed my peers laughing together as they walked towards the gym for after-school sports. My mother, who soon arrived to find her kindergarten son sitting in solitude, scheduled numerous parent-teacher conferences. She would share her concerns while my teachers assured her that my "individuality" was what attracted friends to me. I had been a leader rather than a follower regardless of the opinion of others, and, to this day, that has remained static. I have evolved from that careless kindergarten leader, to an aspiring college graduate.…

    My early social experiences have contributed to my development and affected my educational experiences in a productive way. Throughout my years in school, I was not a student that was outspoken or had a lot of friends. I felt that I did not have time for socializing because I wanted to make the best out of my education. However, I participated in a lot of social events when I was younger. Being a Girl Scout in third grade taught me how to be sociable and work together with other people.…

    One thing in this article, I think especially useful is the examination skills. Professor Leamnson said that “the absolute worst thing you can do is to fall for the crazy notion that the way to prepare for an exam is to compress it all in the last 12 to 18 hours before the test, and keep it up right to the very last minute (Leamnson 11).” It is exactly what most of the college students acting in school. No matter the student is a score oriented or desired to learn knowledge, exam is still a very important session in college. It determines your ability, level of understanding about the material, and also the academic result. I used to not study good enough after class, and study extremely…

    The Human Experience course, also known as, HMXP, is a general education course taught at Winthrop University. This course is the second of the General Education Core, coming between Writing 101 and CRTW 201. According to Withrop.edu, this course “explores the self and its relationship to education, to community, to the natural world, and to the sacred (General Education Core). Dr. Gloria Jones states in her letter to the students, “our hope is that you leave this class with greater self-knowledge and with an awareness of perspectives that are different from your own” (The Human Experience iii). Although some may say HMXP is not beneficial to their academic development, I will argue that HMXP should continue to be a required course for all…

    I have never been an extremely confident person. Although I love to express my ideas with others, I face anxiety when confronted with the prospect of public speaking or even speaking in class. I tend to focus more on my schoolwork and less on making sure I am participating in every way possible. However, my junior year was a major turning point. Just taking one different and challenging class opened my eyes and showed me that I am capable of more than I thought possible.…

    Looking back at freshman year, one thing I wish I could change would be going to APAC more often. That year I had another club at the same time as APAC. Every week I would leave halfway through one and come in late to the other. I remember feeling nervous each time I had to open the door halfway through a workshop. I would hope that I wasn’t be too disruptive, and that I could still figure out what was happening. However, every week when I came late for the meetings I was always welcomed. Even though I didn’t end up knowing what was going on most of the time, I still felt that I was gaining something from those meetings, and I kept on coming back. The decision to continue going has definitely been something I haven’t regretted. This year I…
