Ethan Tran Mrs. Horne Composition 7 September 9, 2015 My Failure In 6 grade what was your hardest subject? Wanna hear my side of the. As I walked to go to Math class I would get nervous. Looking back to 6 grade it was one of my hardest classes I had ever taken. I faced different challenges. There were many nights that I stayed up late finishing my homework . I remembered banging my head on the wall for not getting the right answers. My mom would hear a loud noise from my room and would come in to tell me to stop. “Ethan stop banging your head on the wall” said Mom. I tried but Math was still hard to overcome. I had Math homework everyday. Not only did I have to do worksheets, but I was required to spend at least 3 hours per week on

My whole life I have heard grown ups say that without going to college you will not be successful as an adult. I could either believe that it's true, but honestly college is not for everyone. Angel B Perez in the Editorial of Education Week, “Want to go to college? Learn to fail”, claims that students apply to college to be accepted and fail. In the United States it has been a myth or saying that only the people that graduate from college will not suffer in life, but it has been shown that people who didn't go to college still because billionaires like Steve Jobs. Perez gathers evidence and is proving that it's not true what the people say.
She changes because she keeps failing at things and she just keeps loosing confidence and faith in her self. Her mom did not help that either because she would not show that she was proud. The daughter kept feeling like she was failing her mother because throughout life she kept failing her mother she dropped out of college she didn't make it into stanford all kinds of things but at the end her mother gave her the piano showing her daughter that she should never give
Around the country young adults are preparing themselves to take the last steps towards graduation and beginning their lives as adults, yet most students would say they felt as though they aren’t ready. .”We ask 18 year old students to make huge decisions based on their careers when a month ago they had to ask to use the bathroom.” (Adam Kotsko, GoodReads). For the most part teachers and students have the best of intentions at school and want to teach and learn as much as they can, but the schools are ran like an old assembly line where everyone is viewed as the same and must perform as good as the rest. Every student is told they are unique. so why are we expected to learn the same way?
Made me doubt myself and what I could achieve and because of this my school work suffered. The easiest two years of those nine years were seventh and eighth grade because I realized what I was doing to myself and stopped caring what my report cards said on them because as long as I was passing the class then I would graduate and everything would be
When viewing this video about bad statistics there are three bad forms of bad statistics that the video represented. The first form of bad statistics is poorly collected data this creates misleading results “The company used knowledge prior to only calling customers at work in regards to the parenting magazines and house magazines”(Dressler, 2010) this excluded certain population. This study excluded stay home moms because different answer would be concluded for the data set. The second form of bad statistics is posing questions or misleading questions “cellular may cause cancer”(Dressler, 2010) misleading question gives an uncertain response and the
I always think that failing was a great thing, you’re not meant to fail most of the time and try harder every time. Failing is especially a great part of success because without failing you’d never know how to try. Most of the time you will fail, but you have to know how to pick yourself up. You especially have to try harder every and each time to make it 100% better.
We all say it's not very easy to become successful, believing that there's anything could get many of us including myself unsuccessful. The reasons are used when I see it were distractions, stress, and responsibility; these shows how I often lack on school work everyday in my lives. Distractions could be caused of being unsuccessful, because it is the biggest one was used a lot is social media. I used it so much I will stop my work and check it out. Social media is an everyday technology, we attend to use to search with anything or catch up the daily media. Believing that getting attach to what's going on the world, therefore people like me will think it's very interesting and just clearly forget what as important never know what it was. Also
Throughout my life I have always argued my point, I am not the type of person that holds their views in for the sake of others. It is important for people to state what they think in order for people to widen their knowledge of certain subjects and learn to accept other peoples views. As much as I state my views I am not afraid of being wrong, to me being wrong is a learning experience. There is a fine line between people who state their views as right and people who offer their views to learn.
When I fail trying again makes me better, so failing is part of success to me because I am an athlete and I want to get better rather than keep failing.
Being poor is more than just the lack of money, it is more complex than that. It’s a homeless person digging through garbage with the hope of finding something to eat, or the family of five living in a studio apartment. Being poor is the parent who can’t get a job because he or she doesn’t have a high school diploma, or the child going to school dirty because the water at home was shut off. It is also the grandparent who sick with pneumonia, but cannot get the medical care he needs because he doesn’t have health insurance. Being poor means more than just the amount of money a person has; being poor also includes a person’s lessened quality of life, lack of available education, and their limited access to health care.
All around me are people who would like nothing better to not be in an educational setting. The moans and groans I hear around me, due to stress, causes me to stress. The amount of times I've heard students say they wish they could just drop out, is a daily recurrence. Where has the want to be something bigger gone? Has it simply just disappeared? Yes, school is stressful. Yes, homework is the reason for failing grades. All of these aspects of school can build each student into what they want. A person just can't go into an interview for a CEO position with the words "some high school" on the education area on an application or resume. As a child, you have always wanted to be something big and as the years go on it gets more and more real.
I remember a time in my life when I had to learn algebra. I struggled with it when I was in the 9th grade; I couldn't never get it right and couldn't catch on fast. Math has always been easy to me , but when I got in the 9th grade it got hard. One day at home I just sat down and started working on the problems.
Is a failure still a failure if you learn from it? The answer is yes, but it is a successful failure because you learned from it. Failure is possibly the best way to learn, such as the time I got thrown out of basketball practice freshman year. I got in a futile argument(i just made a comment) with my coach over what position he wanted me to play versus what position I thought I should play. I ended up getting thrown out of practice and had to call my mom to come pick me up while I started walking down the road. I was devastated because I couldn’t understand what I had done wrong because it seemed so minor.
Math; the indecipherable mess of numbers and letters that consumes the sanity of countless high school students year after year. I, however, am not one of those students.
