7. What summer experience has been of significance to you? Why?
Summer of 2017 at Cornell’s condensed 6 weeks semester with credit, taught by their professors was a sheer pleasure.
It gave me a true preview of the college experience.
I learn to speak with not talk to my professors and teaching assistants when I needed help and to discuss class topics to further my knowledge by exploring the topics with them in conversations.
I learned to plan, such as checking my email frequently for posted assignments a week before they were due, instead of a day, like in high school.
I had to learn to manage my time more effectively.
No adult or parents telling me what to do; I was completely free.
The Cornell Summer College allowed me to gain the responsibility that comes with real freedom.
8. Have you traveled to or lived in different localities? If so, where?
My parents have always adhered to our seeing the USA. Our travels have been on holidays, when our parents have conventions, and a combination of exploring America’s historic sites, national monuments, learning about history through museums, unique settings such as Sturbridge Village, and seeing colleges.
As my resume shows I have been to Vermont, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, New York, Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming, California (both the San Francisco and Los Angeles areas), Illinois (Chicago), Rhode Island, Arizona, Maryland (Baltimore), and Florida. Winter weather and friends have made our international
One of the interesting facts about these videos to me is that University of Phoenix produced and used challenge coin without the approval from the military just to trick veterans to believe that Department of Defense has looked and examined that organization and authorized them in some way to provide them with the
I had surprisingly learned a few new things that I didn't learn in the previous school year while in summer school. Each subject had educated me in satisfying ways. The most interesting things I was taught, were facts on poetry, information about Frederick Douglass, and an American dream that has changed over time. These subjects stood out the most to me because I found them really enlightening. They gave me a glimpse of new literature, leadership, and troubling lifestyles.
Melody chose try out for Spaulding Street Elementary's quiz team because both Catherine and Mrs. V encouraged her to prove everyone wrong and make the team (153-154, 158-160). However, she has more obstacles in her path than just knowing the right answers. In order to try out for the team, Melody has to convince Mr. D that she is worthy of even attempting to try out, despite getting a perfect score on the practice test. She must also face the ridicule from her classmates over the idea. Additionally, Melody must conquer her own doubts and fears that she is not good enough to make the team. Nevertheless, instead of wallowing in self-pity because of the unique and challenging circumstances surrounding her tryout, she spends her time and energy preparing for the quiz.
As I explored their webpage, I recognized an institution that not only encourages its students to take initiative of their learning through rigorous courses, but also gave them the collaborative, hands on learning experience that I too cherished.
Having effective communication can help discussions in the class as well me being more open with class mates when it comes to the course work.
Due to all of the visitations I was required to go to in Florida I have been to almost every state east of the Mississippi River. To say the least my family and I love road trips, it’s one of my favorite ways to travel and it is my eventual goal to road trip across the United States. I also traveled west on one occasion on a spur of the moment trip the summer prior to my junior year in high school. My mom had promised to take me to visit Yellowstone Park since I was little and she knew if we didn’t go that summer we would never make there together. Driving to Wyoming was beautiful and visiting the park was more than I expected.
We would like to congratulate your office on the first successful year of operating and maintaining Ryerson’s Student Learning Centre. When the announcement was made that Ryerson would be adding this state of the art facility to our campus we as students were ecstatic to experience a learning space which was truly unique. Although the Student Learning Centre has been extremely beneficial to all students Ryerson Students this far, we believe the space has not been used to its full potential.
Although this is my second semester at Liberty University I have already completed the APOL and BIBL course which are required for my degree. As this would conclude the required Bible courses, I just hope to gain knowledge of a different aspect of the Bible. From my experience from the classes I have taken with Liberty University this far I realize that knowledge of the Bible is expected and I hope this course sets me up with more tools to complete various assignments. Through my prior courses this past summer I gained a refresher on things which I learned throughout high school and this course is something that I have actually never taken before. With it being new I just hope it brings insight into topics that are current and hopefully I
I grew up a military child, so it’s always awkward when someone asks me: “Where are you from?” I don’t really know, I can’t pinpoint an exact place where I can say: “I’m from so-and-so.” I can tell you where my family spent a lot time though, where the memories are the deepest, and the places I felt a strong connection to. I don’t remember much about the places we were before. We stayed a year, maybe two. I can tell you about Maryland and my connection to the bay. I can tell you about crabbing on Solomon’s Island, and the wild adventures through the forests of Maryland. I was young then, and the memories aren’t as vivid as they are of Alaska though.
Now I have realized all my past mistakes and am able to fix them as much as I can. it was rough at first, actually studying at home when I wanted to do something more fun, but now it is easy and I have become a very fast studier. It helps me understand the subject and not just forget right after the
After taking this summer class I learned a lot on how to help me improve at Luther college. Even though the NHCC professor was not the best professor I learned to still ask for help and her advice even though it wasn’t the best. Before the first test in this summer I asked the SASC department for advice for note taking and test taking. They listed a few websites and I looked at them. I used their suggestions when taking notes from my textbook. I also used outside sources for help, Kjresten helped me make note cards and practice taking tests. Her notecards helped and showed me a way to make a game out of a picture chart that I will be seeing in other classes at Luther. Now, I can use that technique to help study the graphs. To continue the success
study a lot. Also, I struggled with my time management because I could not figure
I have learned how to ask better questions and to talk to my teachers when I need help or do not understand the concept well. I make sure that I have a relationship with my teachers and introduce myself at the beginning of each semester. Learning how to communicate with my teachers
I guess being at University of Delaware will be one of the most exciting journeys I will ever have. The rigorous course curriculum, highly experienced faculty and the mesmerizing beauty of the campus has hypnotized my senses. Even picturing myself working with the enthusiastic Blue hens, working on real life projects in Internships, experiencing an entirely new way of learning at study abroad programs, and realizing that sky is the limit at UD makes me grin like a Cheshire cat. I will feel more comfortable in the class than outside the classroom. Being a student from a small country I won’t be accustomed with the US culture like small talk, liberal views, dating etiquettes and lot more which will make me a bit uncomfortable outside the classroom.
What I didn’t learn from my highschool class is how to properly set goals. I didn’t know that there was a process and I didn’t realize how helpful it is writing down goals and physically seeing them. I was able to learn S.M.A.R.T goals which helps you structure your goals to a achievable standard. I also learned the different types of goals like long term, short term, and immediate. I learn how important goal setting can be and how it helps you better achieve them.
