Avid Speech

This was my first year of participating in the avid program, and to tell you the truth, I wasn't sure what to expect. However, I feel that with the help of Mr. Kaiser’s freshmen avid class, my first year of highschool will become one of my most memorable. From field trips, to tutorials, our class has been extremely interactive with one another. We have gone on a total of 3 field trips. One to Pacific Lutheran University, one to UW Tacoma, and one to Evergreen State College. Each trip has opened my eyes for possible future options. During each trip I learned of the college campus, the history, and the programs within the college. While learning these things, I had to ask insightful and specific questions. This really has

Although I was nervous, staff and students did their best to create a positive learning environment. Going into my sophomore year, I received the same positive energy from the staff and my peers. My guidance counselor, Ms. Hunter, helped me to prepare and offered me the opportunity to enroll in…

    Imagine yourself waking up every morning and realizing that you have to literally avoid death from the moment you wake up till the time you are supposedly safe at home. Imagine that you’re told by many people, who you love, that you’re a sin and that you will burn in hell. Imagine that everyday the people you thought cared for you turn you away and threaten you if you don't change, for some people that is something they can never even begin to understand, but now imagine it happening to someone for their entire life. Laverne Cox, a transgender woman and actress, gives a powerful speech during ‘Creating Change 2014’ (an organization that brings awareness to the LGBT community) she talks about the violent injustices and police discrimination against the lives of transgender women of color as a way to spread awareness of the inequalities of transgender within the LGBT community to those who feel the T in LGBT isn't as important. Throughout her speech she appeals to the viewer's empathy to those in pain through personal anecdotes and asyndeton sentences.…

    Although I see why Avid is a well-recognized program, I’ve personally had no benefit from it. It’s because of this that I predict exiting from the program won’t affect me. I know Avid will look good in my college transcript but I don’t worry about that since I have pretty good grades and keep them that way. When I need help, I can always go to my teachers for tutoring, as I already do. I’m aware that this is a new year and a fresh start but if it’s the same thing all over again, I know I would regret staying in the program for yet another year.…

    Not only in my UCOL class have I learned more about how to accomplish things in college, I have also learned a lot from my communication professor. I had an interview with her on choosing a major, how to do better in college and on how to figure out where you want to be and what you want to be. Also the friends I have met have helped me realize what I really want to be doing in my four years of college and where I should go to do it. One person who has helped me the absolute most would have to be my teacher assistant for UCOL, she from the first day has went out of her way to help me. She still helps me constantly with problems I have at school. I am very lucky to have so many people to encourage and push me to do…

We are learning to understand the “instantaneous” change, by which we mean changes over tiny intervals of time. First, when I saw the class’s description I guessed that it would be a really interesting class. But this one is sort of boring because of the professor and some students.…

I never put much thought into the fact that high school is a mere four years of my life. In the grand scheme of things, it’s hardly any time at all. Although it really did fly by, I have enough memories to last a lifetime.…
