...like stress, money, and making time for my family are my three biggest challenges that I personally face. Think about where you are at this point in time. How many challenges have you overcome? The biggest of my three greatest challenges that I face as a college student is stress. There is stress coming from every direction. It comes from places like class, work, home life, relationships, and unexpected setbacks. For me, I do not deal with stress well. There is so many ways to cope with stress, but some people are better at it than others. You just have to find that one thing that you can do to escape from reality for a little while. The reason why I put stress first on my list, is because all of my challenges are directed to stress. I have faced this challenge for a while now. It has seem to become a part of my daily routine. With that being said, I have learned to control it but not to completely erase it from my life. If you figure out how, let me know! One suggestion that I have come up with is putting yourself in a setting where nothing can cause more stress. For me, I like going in a quiet room and finding out interesting facts about random things. I look for silly little books, internet articles, and fun facts that have un-useful information. For example, who invented video games? Though this may not but useful academic wise, it is useful for my stress relief. This information provided for stress management was found in my essay for module three. It explains that there...

I had been going through the same process when I was undergoing all my graduation. I had many questions and concerns when I was graduating at the time. I was thinking about where I am going to be at after graduating from my high school because I didn’t had any idea what majors to select and what school to go to.

...person who doesn’t work and we based it on the clothes they are wearing to explain why we think that way. In the essay “My Essay Hector” by Michael T. Kaufman, the author misjudged his Hector when he thought he was a longshoreman because he would wear a knitted watch cap. He also misjudged Hector when he saw that he was not in the Special placement and Intellectual Gifted Children class but Michael was; therefore he believed Hector was not going to be successful in his career since he wasn’t part of that class. I agree with the author, misjudgment is not acceptable in any way even though we might have the foundation of why we believed in that way. This essay is about my Achilles heel, except I was able to solve mine. When I entered Third grade, I was a simple and respectful kid for the most part. Everyone liked me but I was no one’s best friend. I was reliable, but when something new and exciting came along, I felt like I have went investable to everyone else. There was this boy in my classes from third through fifth grade. He was a wonderful person with an amazing personality to go with it. He was the pride and joy of all the teachers. He was the coolest guy with the closest friends. He had the nicest clothes, the nest tech, and was good at sports. Mr. Extravagant could be caught being nice to everyone and always going to church on Sunday. He appeared to be, what my teacher use to say, “Sweet inside and out”. I hated him instantly. I envied his amazing aura he carried around...

...Project 1 – Academic writing Personal Essay If there's one thing you've had a lot of experience with at this point in your life, it's our class topic—education and personal development. You've been through at least twelve years of formal schooling working towards your development, and you've probably had plenty of other life experiences that could be considered educational with development as an end. This first piece is informal. Think of it as a chance to reflect on one of those experiences by writing about it.

You're answering the key question for an audience you identify. You might write to your classmates, in which case you could think of this piece as your contribution to our conversation on the topic of education and personal development. You might write to friends who are still in the high school you graduated from recently, in which case you'll need to remember that they haven't been reading and talking about the ideas we have in this class. You might write to a relative or close friend elsewhere, perhaps someone who shared the experience with you. Keep in mind the kinds of things your readers/classmates will understand already and what you'll need to explain and/or describe in greater detail. Please note your target audience at the top of each draft as you revise. Your goals as a writer...

...It is now the end of my first official quarter in college. I could act as if I now know what I am doing and say that I am an expert at college survival, but I am not. I walked into this experience with a countless amount of questions and three months into it they seem only to have multiplied. This first quarter of college has been a learning experience in the form of a brutal awakening. The revelation of truth behind college relationships, studies, and growth has ignited a change that I hope will benefit me in years to come. A significant part of the reason for my picking Walla Walla University was that I already had a stable friend group on campus. I knew that I was social enough to make friends regardless of the college I attended, but only Walla Walla could offer me a backup plan. I had...

...runs smoothly and feels less complicated. Although some goals have obstacles, I try my best to work hard and challenge myself. By challenging myself, I can conquer the goals I set. I have many goals, but some have more importance than others. My semester goals include making good grades, making new friends, and getting involved in extracurricular activities. My main goal this semester is to make good grades. Grades are definitely the most important factor in my life at school. I strive to do my best to retain as much information as possible. Grades determine many things, such as an average for a class or whether one can get into a certain college. Making good grades challenges me because some classes are more difficult than others.

...Dorsey July 24th, 2013 English 101 Joshua Thusat Reflection Essay When I enrolled into my English 101 class I thought passing the class would be very easy. Previously, I had taken an English 101 class at my old University and received an “A”, so I was highly confident that I would excel in all of my assignments without concerns; I was very mistaken. Every essay that I have done, (except learning logs) I had to re-do because of flaws in my writing. I didn’t believe I had any flaws in my writing when first starting the course, which made me oblivious to my errors. I am so relieved that I didn’t proceed to English 102 without taking this course. Enrolling in this class has helped me grow as a writer. By understanding my strong areas and what areas I need to work on, I feel more confident writing my essays. Not only did I grow as a writer, I really enjoyed the environment of the classroom. I always felt positive energy from not only my teacher, but my peers as well. It made my learning experience enjoyable yet very informal. I absolutely loved that the classroom is very diverse; full of people from various countries with different outlooks on life. I appreciated hearing everyone’s opinions about certain topics, and the respect everyone showed one another when speaking about sensitive subjects such as racism. Having a respectable teacher and classmates really made the tone of our class worth being a part of. At my previous university I had classes with at least two hundred to...

...a child’s starting point is essential for a teacher so they can plan the right way to help move the child through their zone of proximal development. It is a teacher’s job to promote thinking abilities in their students. By asking higher order questions a teacher will help in their cognitive development. A child’s development of personality and self-esteem is important to not only their schooling, but in their whole life. A teacher can help their students establish this personality and give them multiple ways to develop their sense of self. My purpose in this child study is to be able to analyze an individual child’s physical, emotional, and cognitive development and determine how the changes she is going through will affect her learning and behavior. Making my decision on which child to study was not an easy one. I sat with Kimberly Mach, a sixth grade language arts teacher at Memorial Middle School who has become a mentor for me in my internship. We discussed the child study project and the specifics it would entail. We discussed several students that could be used in this study; all of the choices were middle-level, average students, that...

...It was one rainy day in Southern California. I was on my way to school riding shotgun, my day had started off right. I did not mind the rain until I got off the car. All you hear is a big splash. My feet were soaked. I could feel the cold water seeping into my socks. “Well this is a bad start to my day,” I said out loud. I walk inside school and rush to class before I got another tardy slip. That would have ruined my day. Finally, I sit down in my favorite desk and wait for Advisory to start. I loved Advisory because I could finish my homework or talk to my friends. The next bell rang for first period. I had AP English Literature with Ms.Wyatt who was also my basketball coach. As soon as I walked into the classroom I felt a cold air hit my...

C. 1999 2 3 How to Use this Complex Course Частные уроки Английского Языка 387-1231 MIND Speaks to MIND – Selected American Essays 4 Preface Some years ago, a visitor to our office, a professor of English at a large foreign university, asked if the English Language Programs Division had published a book of American essays for foreign students – especially students at the advanced level. Having to respond in the negative, I was, nonetheless, “intrigued” by the idea of a collection of essays that would form a source of stimulating ideas or thoughts that could be thoroughly examined in the EFL classroom, discussed and debated in free conversation, and perhaps, ultimately, lead to a significant growth in the exchange of information between cultures – via the printed page. From this rationale, then, there issues an explanation for the title, Mind Speaks to Mind, which itself is an “exchange of information” between the editor and Edward Hoagland in his essay, “On Essays”! And, readers are encouraged to study this essay first as a type of guideline concerning the nature/purpose of the essay. It is found on page 26.
