My Educational Experience Analysis

What I learned from my past educational experience, is to be organized and be ready for anything. All throughout high school, I took many college courses, and online courses. The college courses we very tough. Since they were college courses, they were a little more advanced than to what I was used to. In the classes, I would be forgetting assignments, and what was going on in the classroom. For example: we had to turn in an assignment (3 page essay) about yourself. I was very shy during my first two years of high school. That was another problem that I faced in my life. I struggled on this assignment because I really didn't know myself very well. I didn't know what I liked, and what I was good at. For those reasons, I stayed to myself during most of my high school
years. Over time, I started to open up more in class. I started to raise my hand more and participate more frequently. The other problem was the online classes. I had a problem with online classes because I didn't have a teacher in the classroom like i was used to. Every time I needed help with an assignment, the teacher was barely there to help me, or the other students with it. It took close to three days to get in touch with the teacher. Once you get contacted with the teacher, you've already moved on to the next assignment. This experience was very tough on me as well. I am the type of person who likes to get stuff done on time, and soon as possible. I don't like to wait until the last minute to do something. I believe that "punctual is key". I am also the type of person who doesn't like to be late for anything. If i'm late for any type of event, or late turning in an assignment, i start to feel bad. The educational experiences that i faced, changed me for a long period of time.
I started to become introvert, quiet in class, and very anti-social. All of that changed my senior year. Since I am an ambassador at my school (North Edgecombe High School), it allowed me to speak up more, participate at events, and turn me into a better person. It was one particular event that changed my life around. The event was the: Teach For America Event. At the event, teachers from all around the world, came to my school to learn how to become a better teacher, and how to get their students more active in school. During the event, all the student ambassadors, including myself, had to be a part of it. At the beginning of the event, me and another ambassador had to open the event up by telling them our new mission and vision statement that the students ambassadors created, and why we created it. I was very nervous, but I did very well introducing the event to everyone. This event changed me for the better. Now, I am very sociable and out-going. This event prepared me to be a successful member of this community because it showed me to be true to myself, and if I believe that I can accomplish anything, I can, and I
will.
