When taking a test, remember that it is just a test. Many people get intimidated by tests thinking that they are more than they really are. They are supposed to be a review of what you have already learned in your class. Having confidence in yourself and studying well can help you do well on them.…
I got a bad grade on my test because I did not take the time to study.…
One of the professions I have a lot of interest in would be marine biology. I took the high school course on it last year and I had a lot of fun in the class. The critters were adorable and I was able to play with all of them, whenever I wanted. My favorite, honestly, would have to be the brittle sea star. It was so cool!…
There are two instances in my life that has inspired me to gain interest in medicine. My grandmother when I was around the age of twelve received double bypass surgery and I fell in love with the physician who took care of her. The physician was a middle aged woman who was one of the kindest person I have ever met, and she gave us the news of how everything went fine during surgery. She also gave us great confidence in how my grandmother would return to normal soon. The look on my parents and aunts face when she gave the news gave me goosebumps and to this day I feel the same goosebumps when I think about this. I just wanted to one day be in a position to deliver good news to a family and to see that “look” of relief on their faces. Another…
The sun was bright and high in the sky. The birds were dancing and chirping! I was in my friend, Sudeep’s house. We both were watching our favorite TV show is called Lab Rats. We really enjoy watching Lab Rats! When the commercials were going on Sudeep got butter popcorn with extra butter! My mouth was watering as soon as I saw it. Sudeep came just at the right moment the commercials were finished and the show was going to start! Suddenly, a bright yellow light appeared! I could here sounds like thunder cracking. Sudeep and I didn’t know what was happening! I couldn’t see a single thing. Then I smelled an elegant smell! It made me feel drowsy and sleepy. I didn’t know what happened next……….…
Have you ever attempted to do something or get into a program but failed miserably? This past semester I have experienced failure at its best. Last October I was able to attend open house for North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University. Being a member of the Columbia Urban League helped me find North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University. I was able to attend a tour for North Carolina A& T which led me to the open house last October.…
“We all stray from time to time….and when you do, OWN IT! If you deny it….you are giving up control again.” This can teach a lesson to people struggling with drugs and alcohol. If you deny that you have a problem, you will continue to let these things control your life, but if you own up to it, you can help yourself or get help from others. The quote, from the “I don’t know the Bible…” paragraph, “‘Well done, my good and faithful servant,”’ reflects what I believe in and what I have learned. Growing up I heard many people tell me, “God first, others second, and yourself last.” First of all, these two quotes are telling me to live a faithful life by putting God first. Also, to put others before me and serve them just like Jesus did.…
As a kindergartener, when I grew up I wanted to be a princess, or own a hamster farm, or never really grow up at all. In second grade I developed an obsession with the ocean and what lives in it, specifically sharks. Because of my love of sharks I decided that when I grew up I wanted to be a marine biologist. When I made this decision I never knew what a big part math played in this profession. Math has always been my biggest weakness when it came to my education. I would spend hours trying to understand all the numbers and what to do with them. I know now regardless of my love of the ocean, I would have ended up being miserable having to spend the rest of my life constantly feeling confused and idiotic.…
During my first semester as a college freshman I have grown a lot not only as a student, but also as a person. At first I thought of myself as a good writer, but throughout the semester I learned that I had a lot of improvements to make in my writing. Already I have made a lot of progress and will continue to improve throughout the rest of the year in core.…
It was a ferociously gloomy day in the heart of Center City. The time of the observation was from 11:43 am to 12:43pm. Sandwiched between 15th street and John F. Kennedy Boulevard is the Philadelphia's Municipal Services Building and within the plaza of the building lies Board Game Park. Even in the rain, the park was festive. Upon arriving, it began to drizzle. The drizzle was light enough for me to sit by a statue that was composed of multiple bodies piled on top of one another. The noises heard ranged from rain dropping, to horns honking to people laughing or shouting. In the surrounding area of the Board Game Park is Love Park with its remarkable LOVE sculpture and fountain, which was spewing pink water in support of Breast Cancer Awareness…
So far, Genesys Works has been an amazing, fun experience. It has taken me out of my comfort zone, since I'm very shy, and it isn't as bad as it seems. I'm looking forward to expand myself and just willingly socialize with new people. Also, just have fun and have a memorable summer.…
When I was fifteen, my mother hauled along two of my friends and I, to a reunion in Phillips, Wisconsin. The whole way to the reunion I was thinking about how thankful I was to have friends with me, to help me escape from the cheek pulling and "cutesy-wootsing", I would receive from the relatives. At the reunion the adults talked among themselves and the children played together. If at this time I would have realized how important my ancestors were, maybe I would have chose to listen in with the adults? I do not think so. After returning from the reunion my mother showed me an old picture of a man that she said was the Czar of Finland, and that I was in fact related to royalty. After some research I figured out the facts for myself.…
I often ask myself what my purpose is in life; am I here to help others or to write a book? Maybe to sing the most somber song, but then again I do have a dreadful voice. One thing that has always caught my attention was how prodigious the human body is, so I wanted to follow a career in the health and science field. I came to admire dentists because of the experiences I had with people in the particular field. Some skills I have to help me prosper are my analytical thinking and how I relate and connect with others. My ultimate goal is to help people feel and look better, a happy smile can make a difference.…
I’m impressed by the speed of it, of drawing it across the page. As long as it’s steady it doesn’t get blurred. I’m scanning books, my grandmother, the one whose books I want to scan, she was an observational biologist and has books filled with notes and beautiful sketches. I got the Fujitso to scan them, but I don’t want to cut off the…
I did not learn my communicating skills until I took my microbiology class. I had to do a project on sexual transmitted diseases (STD) and it required meeting after class. Being shy and not confident enough, I didn’t want to meet my group. Dr. Nande called me one day because some of my group partners complained to him. I stood in front of him looking down nervously on what he was going to say. He read my body language and just said that I can either tell him what the problem is or I can take a zero. At the moment, I had a flash back of my classmate when he was expressing his problem to my English teacher in high school. My first word that came out of my mouth was to Dr. Nande that I want to do the project on my own. But he said that it would…
