Accelerated Math

this changed in ninth grade when I was placed in Accelerated English class because I had joined the Avid program. This made me nervous because I thought I would fail Accelerated English quickly but as I was doing work in that class, I found it quite easy and passed it with an A. This made me feel proud because it felt like I had improved but later I became nervous for starting Sophomore year at Borah. The counselor had put me yet again in Accelerated English class, which I thought it would be harder

Although my life to date has been focused mainly on my academics, I have done the best I can to keep myself well rounded. Growing up I was fortunate to partake in team sports, learning to play a musical instrument, and learn the martial arts of Taekwondo. One of my greatest pastimes is ice hockey. I was particularly fond of the goal tending position. I was a goaltender for 10 years until I started college, then my goals and priorities seemed to change. Overall my experience playing a team sport

As a result, in the 8th through 12th grades, strong emphasis was placed on STEM coursework; Kaitlyn followed an accelerated, demanding math track of 5 years of high school and college level math and an equally rigorous science curriculum with 4 years of high school and college level science courses. Every science class

career in business, however, I began to doubt my future in that field. I despised math with a burning passion. Pre-AP pre-calculus was the death of me academically. I, who had taken nothing but Pre-AP and AP courses where it could be taken, had intentionally decided to take a regular physics course rather than an accelerated course because I knew the involvement of math in the course. I could barely handle the amount of math courses I had to do in middle and high school, forget doing it for the rest of

I was assigned to Ocean Bay Middle School. I observed four different 7th Grade Math classes. Two classes were General Education, one was an Accelerated class, and the other was an Honors class. The school culture was positive. The students respected their teachers and the teachers respected students. The first class I observed was Mrs. Lepperts class. Mrs. Lepperts class started with going over homework and finished with a notes worksheet with examples for students to try. Mrs. Leppert effectively

The school subject that I have always loved was math, so I cannot really pinpoint a time when I fell in love with it and thought it was fun because I have always loved it. However, there were times that teachers went beyond expected, which one teacher that did was in 5th grade. He taught the concepts in an engaging way. Yes, we did have the 1-31 odd, even, or all of the problems, but the way he engaged us was in class. To help us learn it more, he had us do competitions with teams, by yourself, and

As a current sophomore at the University of Arizona (U of A), enrolled in the Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) program, I seek to continue my education to the master’s level.

I started third grade at a new private school thirty-five minutes away from home. My challenge with reading and math continued through my next four years at the new private school. At Annie Wright School I had a reading skills teacher helped me in weekly sessions to improve my reading fluency. During sixth grade, my parents thought that enrolling me in Kumon would help me improve my math skills. Kumon helped me up until the end of sixth grade when, yet again, my family moved across the country to
