Bad Experience at School
In the world humans can easily retain the good memories that happen in their lives. They can easily remember those sports trophy, honor roll award, and even just beating a friend in a friendly video game, is left as positive memory in their brain that can be easily shared information. However, the real question is, what do humans do with the bad experiences? Do they just store them in their memory bank and never talk about it, do they just forget about, or do they share the experience? I can’t speak for everybody but, I feel you should express your bad experiences, just like you would for your good ones. Now I’ll begin.
In my lifetime I have always been able to grasp things and excel at them quite fast. However, as soon as I got into the pre-engineering program at the Academies @ Englewood, that whole grasping things quickly was thrown well and beyond out the window. In the beginning I found my engineering class to be simple. I didn’t find it difficult to understand, everything flowed in my brain pretty easily like things normally did for me. Then I was introduced to auto desk inventor, the bane to my existence.
Auto desk inventor was software that allowed you create all types of objects digitally. It seems cool but I quickly realized that I was not able to get an understanding of how to use the program as fast as I understood other things. I wouldn’t understand what part of the shape I was supposed to extend, rotate, change, resize, crop, it all just became too difficult for me. Now usually the normal student would go ask the teacher if they are having a hard time with something, so I spoke to my teacher for help.
Although, when my teacher explained it to he wasn’t speaking a form of English that I could understand. I did not at all understand what he was saying; honestly he could have been speaking pig Latin for all I knew. For the first time in my life I became that student in the back of the classroom that gets made fun

    Learning to deal with, and share the memories from a lifetime ago is important. “The communities of memory that tie us to past also turn us toward the future as communities of hope,”2 Bellah explains. By remembering the past we see the pain, the misfortune, the danger, and the list could go on and on; but we also see hope for a better tomorrow. Recalling the bad, while looking at a problem facing the present, reminds us we are stronger than we think. Just as the communities each of us live in faced hardship to get to the place they are now, they will face even more, but are stronger now than they were at the beginning. This is because, “… collective memory is a source of social strength.”3 The strength of the nation, city,…

    During the CAD/CAM lessons at university I had really struggled, firstly with getting my head around using the computers so prolifically, as they were pretty much alien to me as a dressmaker and then secondly, learning a whole new world of designing on 2d Design and Solidworks. However, I was surprised at when push came to shove and I was in a KS3 classroom, with children needing assistance, sparks of useful (well, sometimes, useful) information would come to the fore and help out. I realised that sitting one-to-one with a pupil we could, through communication, analysis, trial and error and stamina work through the process to get to our goal. I would have been happier in these initial cases to have provided a perfectly succinct solution to the pupils’ problems, but I believe it was actually enormously beneficial to be so lacking in subject knowledge, as I built relationships with many of the pupils and became more aware of their learning styles, needs and also shared their sense of achievement.…

    Failure is the state of not meeting an objective, and is normal for people to face throughout there life. I can speak on experience an event that had happened this past summer. After finals when my school had sent out final report cards, it was sad to see that my final average in my US History course did not meet the requirements to continue to the next grade. From there I had two options: to go to summer school and pass so that I may continue school at the academy or transfer schools and repeat my junior year of high school.

    Failure, when pertaining to human achievement is the act of not reaching success. Failure, though, in its own right is just an idea because as Winston Churchill once said, “ Success is not final, failure is not final; it is the courage to continue that counts.” This is a lesson I learned at the end of my freshman year of high school. Freshman year wasn’t my best year academically, athletically, or socially. I wasn’t specifically failing in any of those areas, but I released at the end of year how strikingly mundane I had been when I thought I should have been exceling. I beat myself up, considering anything less than my expectations a failure. I wanted to give up and not care. The weird thing is though, is that this mishap I had didn’t detour…

    Repressed memories have been a large topic in the past. They sometimes still form stories even today that can, at times, create a great deal of damage towards the families involved in the ordeal. At the same time, it is also not helpful to discourage children or youth from informing adults about their struggles. This paper will discuss an article written in 2012 by Scientific American about memories in general. Then, the paper will delve into my own understanding of the how and why of repressed memories and what I think about it.…

    For example, while growing up I remember not being able to trust people. I always saw people do different than what they said and never kept their promises. This brought me a great deal of trust issues. After the feelings of betrayal and hopelessness my behavior began to change, I became more conservative, lonely, and doubtful of people. Any events that are traumatic enough can trigger the time perspective our mind focuses on, and of course our attitude. Past negative people will remember the most negative and traumatic events they lived in the past and tend to dwell on them for their entire life. Meaning, they will always remember feelings of trauma, failure and frustration. Fearing they will experience the same circumstance past negative people become conservative and focused. Being high past negative also has a positive side, Dr. Zimbardo states that past negative person has a sense of personal continuity or a stable sense of self…

    Life is a balancing act between the past, present, and future. Expressing guilt and regret about the past is almost instinctual, but we accept that it is unchangeable and we put it behind us. However, there are some, who so desperately cling to the idea of the past and believe that they have the power to repeat it. While an action can be repeated in order to emulate an action of the past, the entirety of the moment can never be recreated. This is due to the fact that unlike a physical action, the emotions and intent behind the action are impossible to duplicate.…
