Evaluate a Significant Experience, Achievement, Risk You Have Taken, or Ethical Dilemma You Have Faced and Its Impact on You
I would like to tell you about an achievement that had impact on me, is learning English language. I that that would be easy but I figured that is very hard to learn a new language, learning English helped me a lot. I can understand better movies, songs even people speaking in English, and knowing this language is going to help me to have a better education in university, and in English course I made a new friends. Now I can understand much more English.
Knowing English helped me a lot, now when I watch movies I understand better than before. Also songs that I listen I can understand what the singer is trying to say. When I travel with my parents in a different state that don’t speak Albanian I can talk with people in English and it help me a lot.
A lot of my cousins continued studies in other countries and I always wanted to go outside of Kosovo to study. Now that I can learn in English I also can go somewhere else. Or I can stay in Kosovo but study in a American University and someday I will have a chance to go outside the state for masters. I can do this thank to English course.
In that course I also made new friends, some of them maybe where going to be in same University so when I go in university I will have friends from Peja. And that will help me in first days in university where I’m going to be in totally new city and my life will change.
My life change a lot when I learned English, which made me possible to understand better, to have a chance to get a better education, also during that time that I learned English I made new friends. So all those change are because I learned a new language which I can say was hard but had a big

    Because when I came to the United States at a young age I faced a lot challenges and hardships but I decided to keep going and stay resilient. One of the challenges I faced was learning the English language. At the beginning when I arrived the U.S I did know any single word in English and that was upsetting and sad to me because everybody in my school knew how to speak it. English language has always been a difficult language to learn for me. But, I try to not give up and I am improving in it through my diligence. Nevertheless, I was dedicated to develop my English skills through learning and studying new vocabulary words and tried to use them in my daily life dialogues. My growth mindset was pushing me every single day to learn and face my obstacles. I also liked to read a lot of books which improved my reading skills and correspondingly gave me new words and notions. Despite, sometimes I do not understand the senses of the words while reading it I used a dictionary. I listened to music and read the lyrics of the songs because I have told that this is one of the effective methods to learn a language. On the other hand, I have taken plenty of workshops, programs on how to progress in pronunciation, vocabulary, and grammar. I know learning a language is hard but what it is harder is to not give up and stay focused on my own work. I have failed a lot of times in the past but once I fail I…

    We were given the assignment to create toy for a baby from things available in a home. I chose to create a toy for babies in the late infancy stage. My toys are “Noise shakers”. I took three water bottles, took off their wrappers, and in each one I added different things to create different sounds. In one bottle I put bells, in another bottle I put rice, and then in my 3rd bottle I added colorful craft beads. I filled all three bottles half way so there was room for the objects to move freely and create their different sounds. I then used something called Gorilla glue to attach the bottle caps. After that I covered the cap with two layers of colorful duct tape, so that it was extra secure, as well as adding color to the cap area. The age for this toy is 12 to 36 months. It falls in Piaget’s sensorimotor stage and the early part of the preoperational stage. Although this toy would not be for under 12 months or above 36 months. During the sensorimotor stage between 12 and 18 months “infants develop new behaviors that allow them to achieve their goals. Although the child still repeats actions over and over, now he does it with a planned variation to see what happened when I do this!” (P, 235/Levine). For example, the child will think, “when I shake this bottle I hear the sound”. This toy will stimulate the child’s senses; when the baby shakes it, it makes a sound. Also, these bottles have a soft but bumpy texture to the touch. This is important, because infants/young children take in information from their sense. This toy will encourage their growth of symbolic activity. When shaking these bottles, the young child will pretend they are different musical instruments; this is symbolic because they use one object to represent another. Piaget states that “During the Cognitive Development Theory stage 6 (18 months to 2 years)…

    There are many accomplishments in my life of which I am proud, however there are two for which I am especially proud. Those being, having the opportunity to play varsity shortstop in high school, and having good enough grades to be nominated for, and to be admitted into, the National Honor Society. These accomplishments make me proud because they are goals that I was able to set and accomplish for myself. These are successes that not everyone can say that they have achieved.…

    My English has improved dramatically because we communicate in English everyday. I spoke differently when I was around my American friends and my Chinese friends. While I was talking to my Chinese friends, I will be mixing some Chinese language in my dialect. However, I speak more proper English when I am with my American friends. When in the Chinese group, my dialect just automatically changes to Chinese language because I feel more comfortable by talking that way.…

    We as English as second language students, frustrate at the beginning due to the lack of communication with others and for instance, most of the time, we feel the impulse to connect with other people that speaks our language. For some of us who came from countries where the Gregorian alphabet is not used, the learning process becomes even harder. Pronunciation or speaking is a challenge too because most of the time we are betrayed by our accent. However, once the English skills start improving due to the acculturating process, we assimilate that there is no going back and we look forward to master our English skills. Learning foreign languages opens our minds to new ways of thinking. While there are some people that learn a language because of interest or they want a challenge, we have to learn in this case English because of a practical need for…

    An accomplishment that has helped me understand myself better was learning how to ride and do tricks on a skateboard, it taught me how to believe in myself, how to keep trying without giving up and it also taught me that pain is only temporary. Learning how to ride my skateboard taught me many essential life lessons by falling and failing each and every single time and still getting back up to continue trying. Although it may seem like an easy task, it was not as simple for me. All of the times my skin bled and my bones hit the ground taught me how to keep pushing myself to reach my goal.…

    Only being in the 11th grade, there are not any groundbreaking achievements I have made so far. One accomplishment that still stands out to me is when I was the only freshman to be interviewed and picked to be Bio-Med officer. This still holds a special place because it was defeinly one of my proudest moments. I am not the smartest person, or the best. I make mistakes, but I always try my hardest and put passion into everything I do. I was competing against 25 other freshman, and I was able to be the only 9th grader picked. My comeption wad tough, and some of the most intelligent people were also competing for this position. This definetlyl made me realize that being the smartest person is not everything.

    I have no major successes that impacted my life in a huge way, but in general, I would say a great success would be getting good grades, and test scores. When I first advanced to the high school, I was afraid of it being really challenging and I would be failing all my classes. But, It wasn't that hard, I just had to study, do the homework, and pay attention. Getting good grades was a huge success for me. I have one failure that always keeps occurring no matter how much I try.…
