Ucd Reflection

Fortunately throughout the rest of middle school I worked harder to make sure I didn’t receive a “C” again. The hard work payed off because I didn’t receive another “C”.Seventh through eighth grade I changed my demeanor, I started to actually have to put effort into learning and studying. I started to ask for help from my peers and teachers. This also was the beginning of me having to juggle playing a sport and schoolwork. I added an extra workload on me, in hopes that my grades wouldn’t slip. Playing a sport and keeping my academic grades up showed me that I could do anything I put my mind to.

This is actually the first time i've felt welcomed in a school. Almost all the teachers are there to help and answer your questions if you have no clue but most importantly they are all there for the same reason and that reason is to help the students. All the teachers want to see the students succeed and improve. Honestly the location of the school is not the best but the teachers make the best out of it. The school recently invested in a safe security system and the school has many beautiful cesar chavez

Chisholm middle school has been the best school so far. I've got so many new friends that I can't keep up with everyone. The only bad thing about, it is that I have to see my cousins all day. They always try to embarrass me, but sometimes I can get away without them knowing. There are a lot of people here who support me, like Mrs. Reed our counselor at Chisholm. She helps me solve my problems, and we get to have really good conversations that we some times forget what the real problem is. There are other people who support me, but I like Mrs. Reeds help the best.

World War One was a time of death, destruction and was in general a conflict of monumental proportions. However, as the cliché goes, there is a silver lining to every storm cloud. In the case of the Great War, the silver lining refers to the great leaps forward made in women's empowerment and involvement in society because of the advent of the war, which forced them into positions previously never considered by either gender. World War One provided women with the perfect opportunity to demonstrate to a male-dominated society that females were there for more than simply domestic chores, and this proved to be beneficial for both women and men alike. Women became involved in the army on the frontlines, were nurses and medical aids, played

Right when I became into knowing the school better, I had to transfer to another middle school. I was happy and sad but mostly sad. Happy because I was going to meet new people but sad because I had wanted to graduate with my friends. And the mixed emotions started all over again. I could tell you from my personal experience that making an identity from scratch takes a lot of time and courage. But tell you the truth I liked the new middle school rather than the earlier one. I made lots of friends and even joined the student council. I had also joined the basketball team. Helping the school and the community is my type of thing.

How am I doing in school? Well … As Carl Bard once said,” Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.” When I started high school I didn’t want to take on more responsibility, in sports, clubs, extracurricular activities, or even homework. I was lazy, and I didn’t realize everything I needed to do before I could graduate and do everything I wanted in life. So I’ve decided to start getting more involved with my school, through sports, extracurricular activities, and clubs.

I like serrano a lot this year. I was expecting it to be a lot of more work and being harder. This year has gone by so fast already and it's been fun. I was expecting the teachers to be a lot more annoying or strict but it's my teachers are nice. The first three months of serrano have been really good for me and it has been such a good expierence.My biggest surprise this year is the eighth grades, most of them think they are really cool and they just make fun of seventh graders. I think it's messed up but they don't talk a lot of trash anymore because they got bored of it. Everything I have planned went right it's a good school and I haven't gotten in any trouble. Another plan of mine was to meet more friends and I did, I met a lot more. I

I am the founder and president of the SADD (Students Against Destructive Decisions) Chapter at my school, and I've helped create SADD chapters at other middle and high schools in multiple school districts. Currently, there are about 40 students in my SADD chapter. I started my SADD group my freshman year, so I have been involved with my SADD group for almost three years now.

Reza Aslan publishes a book about the war on terror. He says it is a cosmic war. This means the war is a battle between good and evil, fought for religious reasons instead of for more land or better economy. The war on terror has been fought since October 7th, 2001, after the nine eleven terrorist attacks for the US. Back then, the enemy, al-Qaeda, wants to control how people think and worship Islam. Now, we are dealing with ISIS, which is another enemy in the war on terror. Reza Aslan thinks that the War on Terror is a “Cosmic War”. I agree that the War on Terror is a “Cosmic War”. Not only because the goal of the terrorist groups isn’t not to have economic nor territorial gain. Also, the terrorist organizations can’t be stopped if we only used weapons against them.

To begin this assignment I began to explore Theme 2 of the Jones International University database and an EHow website to get a better understanding of the style of conflict experienced between the Lockheed Martin Corporation and the Pentagon. I began to get a better understanding of the conflict styles by reading Theme 2; coincidentally I looked for the specific one that I thought fit the conflict style read in the article from the Washington Post—it just so happened to be 5 categories of conflict styles present. Next, I focused my attention toward the article

I have been on the UTD School of Natural Science and Mathematics Dean's List for every semester I have attended UTD. This is awarded to full-time students with a GPA in the top 10%.

My Junior Year of high school just recently started. I have learned so many different things while attending high school, and still have over a year to learn even more. As Matthew Kelly said, “whether you are sixteen or sixty, the rest of your life is ahead of you. You cannot change one moment of your past, but you can change your whole future.” This means while I have done a lot in my past, I cannot change anything that has already happened, but I am able to change my future. One of the most important things that I am involved in right now is school. My first two years at CBHS were good, and I made decent grades. Some of the grades that I made I am not very happy with now but I cannot change that so I need to focus on my grades right now because those are the ones I can change.

UIC is an incredibly diverse community with a plethora of different people across the country attending this school. However, even though UIC accepts a wide range of students from different backgrounds many have come from title 1 low income schools where they have faced adversity either because of their race or financial status. I have had an experienced with both. My family used to live in a small town near St. Louis called Collinsville, a town that consists of mainly Caucasian whites. In my school, I was 1 out of the 4 only Hispanics in the whole school. A lot of times many teachers told my parents that I wasn’t able to strive for success due to my background, that I learned Spanish instead of English first and in other subjects because my

The transition from middle school to high school was difficult for me. I’d gone to very a progressive middle school where the students basically got to choose their own curriculum. I’d never had grades or a standard structure of any kind to measure my academic performance. Saint Mary’s, my high school, is college prep so the teachers move quickly, I am graded on everything, and expectations in general are much higher. For all of ninth grade I felt like I had been tossed into the deep end without knowing how to swim, and my grades reflected that mentality. Summer before tenth grade, I knew I couldn’t continue performing so poorly, so I began to study and to try and get a jump start on the next year’s curriculum. When school started I put much

This year my grade has been good besides music, but I do not know why or how I had a C. My grades this year I am pretty impressed by because they were good.
