Personal Narrative: How Algebra Changed My Life
Hi! How have you been? I feel like we have not talked in forever, and I wanted to catch up. I decided to tryout for lacrosse at Mercy and I made it, (Jv of course) but Alexa and Ash tried out too and made JV. Mia also tried out and she made both Jv and Varsity. I was wondering did your daughters decide to try out for lacrosse? Speaking of Mia, we have become really close friends this year which is awesome, and of course I have made a ton of new friends because I am outgoing (like I’ve always been), but I have also stayed very close friends with all of my corpus friends. One thing I thought I would never say has come true….. I miss pre alg!!!!! Algebra is honestly the hardest class ever I can’t win and I also hate my teacher but I just do not understand who is going to ever use “FOIL” and “substitution” which those aren't even hard but I still strongly dislike math, but I'm doing fine in that class.

    Personal Narrative: My Life Changing Experiences

    “WHOA WHOA WHOA THIS IS BALONEY MAN!” that is something I say whenever I am frustrated. People have always told me sometimes the best way to learn something is through failure. People value things they have accomplished differently. Often the people whom are naturally adept at things do not realize how much of a struggle it can be for others. Many times when people have told me that if you are going to fall, fall forward. Do not let your insecurities, doubts, and pride get in the way of improving yourself. In brief, there can always be a way to improve yourself.…

    Personal Narrative: My Year In Pre-AP Calculus

    The only below average grade I have gotten in my life happened last year in Pre-AP Pre-Calculus. Math had been my strong suit for as long as I could remember, and I was devastated when I got my final report card. Knowing that my senior year was approaching fast, I had to change my plans. I switched from AP Calculus to AP Statistics, because I learned that branch of mathematics was not for me. Currently I am earing an A- in “Stats” and understanding the material very well. As an added bonus, statistics is great for individuals entering into a field of marketing or…

    Personal Narrative: How School Changed My Life

    For school, the thing that has changed was my grades have improved so that I was able to get principal's list. My life has changed because I have found out about my true friends and my “fake” friends. The ones that I know more outside of school are my true friends but the ones that I don’t talk to at all is different. This helped me change the way I look at people and kinda prejudge. But hopefully this habit will just go away with time.…

    Personal Narrative: My Eighth Grade Math Teacher

    A person who made an enormous impact on my life was my eighth grade math teacher. I'd had failed my seventh grade TAKS test and had to take a second math class for the year. I was extremely furious and disappointed that I had to take yet another math. I was and still am terrible at math, which just made the situation even worse. Within the first week, I kept failing my assignments, which was making my grade plummet. I came to my regular math teacher for help for my assignments to raise my grades. However, the way the teacher was explaining the math made absolutely no sense to me in any way. Fortunately, when I came to my TAKS math teacher for tutoring, the way he explained to me actually made things much more simpler in my work. Things started…

    Personal Narrative: My Pre Calculus Class

    One thing that I think that sets me apart from other candidates applying to the University of California is that I put my heart and soul on every assignment, projects and exam. I work hard and put time on the assignment, projects and exam. I also give my full effort. Whenever I give my heart and soul on the assignment or projects, I am able to learn more than I should learn. I was able to discover new facts that I did not know. For example, in my Pre Calculus class, we did a project about global warming. I have to research about global warming and predict total population, average temperature, carbon dioxide emission in the next 50 and 100 years from now. I took my time and read articles about global warming. While looking at the statistic, I was asking myself what is cause of increasing population, temperature, and carbon dioxide emission. I realize those three factors are causing global warming. I made sure that I did the math correctly. I also made sure that I explained the definition, cause, and effect of the global warming. I gave my heart and soul by giving my best effort and making sure my data and information…

    Personal Narrative: My Ability In Math

    In general, I would describe my ability in math as average. I did well in elementary, but middle school was when I started having difficulties. When I took math I, I mostly got B’s and C’s on my tests, because I had a hard time understanding the material, or asking the teacher if I needed help with a certain concept. Overall, I think my average grade for math would be a B, but I would like to improve this year and get an A for a final grade. My parents definitely contributed to my overall success. If I didn’t have their support, I wouldn’t be where I am today. I disliked learning trigonometry and graphing functions. I took math II online, so I wasn’t able to really use a worksheet and graph any problems for myself. I liked the substitution…

    Personal Narrative: How Education Changed My Life

    According to Michelle Akers, “I think the challenge is, to take difficult and painful times and turn them into something beneficial, something that makes you grow.” Just like every human being, I have had my fair share of challenges to face. My parents were born and raised in Mexico. Being from the type of family both my parents had, education was not an option and no importance was taken toward it. They both dropped out of high school and began to work in factories to help their families with financial problems. They realized how hard it was to earn a living and to maintain a family without a proper education. When I was four years old and my sister was nine, my parents made the decision to send us to Brownsville, TX for a proper American education.…

    Narrative Essay On Math In High School

    In elementary the simple rubric math was relatively easy for me. I thought that during my last year in elementary, math would be no problem for me. Well, that was not the case. Sixth grade came and math became my worst nightmare. Once I passed sixth grade, seventh was no better and let’s not mention eight grade. In my freshman year in high school I finally was tired of barley passing math so I made it my goal to pass algebra 1 with an A. I first began to check out math books for dummies at my local library, and was more than determined to learn this. My hard work towards the end of my freshman year paid off and I ended the year with a grade higher than a 95. My teacher was impress with my efforts that he suggested that I double up on math and graduate with 6 math credits instead of the required four or five if…

    Today was terrible. It started out as any other typical day living at college. I woke up at 6:00 and went to the dining hall to get some breakfast, the usual eggs and bacon, after I went to my first class, Advanced Mathematics. Someday I hope to be a statistician, but my professor is a really hard grader.…

    Personal Narrative: My First Math Team

    Since the beginning of fifth grade, I have been involved in the math team. Before I became involved in the club, I considered math a relatively easy and simple subject. However, my first math team meeting proved me wrong. I remember staring down at a ciphering question and feeling absolutely lost. It embarrassed me that I didn’t immediately know the solution to the question, but at the same time, it thrilled me to face a problem I couldn’t answer. Now, my first math tournament in high school was a disappointment. We won nothing but a certificate of participation. Even though we left without a trophy, the experience was enjoyable. During my junior year, I wanted to place in the top 3 with my team members, so I dedicated time at home to practice.…
