The Importance Of Academic Challenges In High School

A lot of people set a challenge to improve. By setting a challenge, individuals work hard, asking for help and advice from experienced advisors. Challenges motivate people and keep them working hard. The most significant challenge I have faced was getting a full scholarship into the private school, American Heritage High School in Plantation. This challenge was crucial for me because I came to United States in the middle of sixth grade. I went to Falcon Cove Middle School, and the school placed me in regular classes within the ESOL program. The ESOL program is a program designed for foreign students who do not speak English well. I got out of the program once I passed the placement test to the Cambridge program. In middle school, I won a variety

I face little challenges every single day, but that's a part of life; that's just how things are. The most important things in my life are my grades, family, and friends, so naturally, my struggle involved one of these things. This year was particularly hard for me in school, I was a sophomore taking four AP classes. I thought it wouldn't be as bad as everyone said it was going to be - it turned out to be all right, except I had little free time. Because of this, I struggled in AP Language. I didn't give the subject enough attention and did not try hard enough. Three weeks before the end of the semester, I had an A-. On the very last day of the semester, my grade was a 95% A. In order to get it up to an A, I had to work with a great amount

The most significant challenge I have faced was when I was growing up was reading. Reading is one of the most important things it was hard for me to say some words that I thought I was never gonna learn to read ever even if they were just small words or big words I struggle so much while growing up. When I was

I have overcome lots of obstacles in my life. They weren't the easiest to overcome, but I did it. There is one obstacle I had to go through which made me a strong individual mentally and physically. I lived in New Jersey for my entire life. I grew up there, I had all of my family and friends in Jersey. I was sure my future was going to rely in Jersey. During 7th grade, I got the news that we were going to move to North Carolina. I was thrilled to move to another state. As each day passed, I thought how I would have to start in a new school and make new friends. Every time it struck me knowing that I would have to start a new life. I was nervous not knowing what would happen to my future. I wanted to stay in New Jersey because I was scared of

In the past few years I have faced many challenges. The major challenge I faced in the year 2017 was the passing of my Father. He passed in a very stressful and busy part in my life, and it was very hard to focus on my school work, volleyball team, and job. As difficult as that situation was I have learned to persevere through the hardest of times. I now can push through any situation and face any challenge that comes my way, whether that be academic or in life.

A challenge I have faced that affected my academic achievement would be getting a concussion my freshman year. After suffering a concussion my freshman year,it was hard for me to concentrate in school I would become easily stressed. Taking tests and quizzes became a problem because I would forget what I studied for and I would get anxiety because of it. Another big problem I had was note taking in class. It became hard for me to take notes in class because sometimes the brightness of the projector would give me headaches and it would become hard to concentrate.

A significant challenge that I faced that I thought I might not accomplish was in sophomore year. I believed I would not be able to pass my science class. I was almost failing the entire year but the last quarter was the worst. The teacher made a huge test that would help anyone that was almost failing and I studied every night until the test which was for about a month and a half. I was sure I would still end up failing because I wasn’t sure about many of the topics we had discussed. On testing day, we had time before the test to study even more and I had one of my friends test me with flashcards that I created; there was over one hundred of them. While taking the test, I was freaking out and ended up not answering some of the questions because

The biggest challenge for me this year was doing my work thoroughly. While on the surface this may seem like something that should be easy, for me it was the first year I was really unable to get away with only giving 75% effort on my work. The assignment that really got me to understand this was an active reading assignment we had early in the school year. When we got into class we were told to define the word “affectation”. While I had read over the article I had not taken the time to define every word and got a 0/5. This assignment was my abyss because of the fact that I missed points that I could have easily received had I spent just another 30 seconds to completely finish my homework. The majority of my challenges occurred after my abyss. A major challenge for me came in my writing. At the beginning of the year I did not realize how important it was to truly stick to the writing process and take time with my writing. In past years I had been able to get away with occasionally drifting off topic during my writing and it took me a while to understand how exactly to approach a paper. Throughout the year I went through a transformation in my writing. After a few writing assignment I began to understand how to approach a paper and my writing has grown since. This year in humanities has left me with a gift. Through Humanities I learned a couple things that I will take away with me and use not just for the rest of highschool but for the rest of my life. One thing I took away was how to approach my work. When facing a large assignment it is important to not be intimidated and procrastinate starting your work. While the first few days of such an assignment can be challenging if you focus and knock out parts of the assignment slowly and concisely the end result of your work will be much better and your last few days doing the assignment will be far less

The first obstacle had to face are my parent divorce. When this obstacle happened I was depressed and not do that good in school. My aunt had to take to with her friend that was an therapist I only went for one day, when it finish the therapy I realized that my life is not over just for a dilema. I was more relief and more ambitious to do all my work and pass all of my classes. The second obstacle is that I would struggle at school is turning in my work late when it was due the next day. Then, I had to overcome it by, making an agenda to keep my work on track and test to study for the agenda really helped me alot. My last dilemma is that I would work during school because me and my family depend on my dad sending money when sometime he wouldn't send us money. Me and my bigger sister would always try to find a job to help my mom to pay bills etc. Another obstacle is trying my best to have good grade and study in a correct way. I try to keep up my grade but sometimes it's hard. I sometimes

1) Describe the most significant challenge you have faced and the steps you have taken to overcome this challenge. How has this challenge affected your academic achievement?

The most significant challenge I have faced was balancing my academics and sports. I have been involved in the boy's soccer program at Palm Desert High School since my freshman year and each season has proven to be a test for me academically. I must say that attempting to balance my school work and soccer during my freshman and sophomore year has taken a toll on my academic achievement. It is unfortunate, however, I learned many things that will benefit me in the future. It was difficult because stress and anxiety amounted on top of all the school work and assignments that needed to be completed with the little time I had in my hands. Each season lasted around four months and during those four months, I accumulated bad habits. I procrastinated

Challenges are one of the many things we as humans posses. We learn to face challenges and how to conquer the ones that come after them. I have many challenges but my main one is a personal family issue. Recently I moved in with my mom and I have not got to see my sister and my stepsister who live with my dad. This is a challenge because It distracts me from things I need to be focused on. Another challenge is one that not only I face but a ton of other people do as well, procrastination. I procrastinate a ton and I usually do things the night before they are due or the next morning before I go to first block. I have been getting better at this by starting on the assignment the night I received it and working on it a little every night. This way I work on it and I do not procrastinate and I get my work done neatly and on time. My challenge I am least concerned about is self confidence. I struggle with making decisions and wondering what other people think about me. I am currently learning to
