Story Of Success
Good afternoon, Ms. Barrett

Thank you for the advices you gave me for my expository essay. You were right, my expository essay looked like actually argumentative essay. So, I have decided to change the title completely. Here is my new title ‘’Key factors for successful exam preparation’’. I join the new expository essay to this letter. Could you please check if everything alright with it? I hope this one is better.
I would like as well to present my book choice for the book review: ‘’Outliers. The Story of Success’’ by Malcolm Gladwell. 309 pages.

Thank you very much.
Have a great day
Oleksandra

    The four types of essay organization discussed in the course readings are expository, persuasive, analytical and argumentative. The characteristics that make the essays that I read expository are both provided evidence, examples and facts to inform about the topic with a thesis statement as its base. The information was also presented fairly and in a nonbiased manner. For example, in the essay titled “How to Succeed as an Online Student”, it informed me as the reader that to master time management I had to first determine what time of the day that I was most focused on my studies. Then it went on to explain to me how I could manage my time wisely.…

    Back when I was in Kweilin, people did not think about the fancy cars that make the putt-putt-putt sound or the mortgage on their house. Their worst troubles were their children’s moans of hunger. Most people only dreamed of their next meal. Everybody had humility, all these Chinese people bound under the same problems, all of them having to work hard. Even though they were so different, they learned to cooperate and work together.…

    My experience with failure came with athletics. For my whole life I have always been involved in sports like soccer, tennis, basketball. When I was in the fourth grade I joined a swim team and that was the first and really only sport that I stuck with; swimming came naturally to me, and it was something that I could do year round and I loved every minute of it. However, once I was in high school I stopped swimming and joined my high school’s cross country team. My dad was a runner all throughout high school so I thought it would be a good idea to give the sport my father loved a chance. The cross country team allowed me to grow, and I learned things about myself including that fact that I can’t run. It’s not that I can’t physically run, I have…

    The two essays that I chose to read were, ‘A Soul as Free as the Air’ and ‘How to Succeed as an Online Student’. These two essays showed distinct characteristics that marked them each as one of the four types of expository essays—topic, time order, space order, and informative process. Both essays used facts and evidence to convey the concepts of the essay while also supporting the thesis statement, making it obvious that they are expository essays. Also, the information conveyed in both of these essays was presented unbiasedly.…

    Every day I wake up determined to do more than I did the day before. My past achievements include gaining leadership skills, being on a varsity sport, and learning outside of school. I have been in tennis for eight years and varsity for three years, where I have received two awards for most improved player. I was accepted into the program “Trees for Tomorrow” where I learned how to manage and use natural resources in a classroom and in field studies. I participated in a new sport, a cross country ski team, where it taught me skills and strengthened my mind set about myself. My early years of high school, I was part of the backstage crew for a play, performed at my high school. The theatrical plays were terrible, under equipped, with barely…

    I always strived to do the best that I can, in everything that I do, and this especially applies to academics. In 6th grade, I joined the honors program at my middle school; from then on forward, I made sure than my work was of high enough quality so that the following year I would be placed in honors courses. These courses are what I believe prepared me for my success in high school. I got a taste of what it was like to be in an environment where every pupil was hungry for an education and for knowledge, and I grew to want to learn as much as my classmates. I entered high school with courses that upperclassmen had that challenged me more than anything else had before. It was during my freshman year of high school that I realized that I couldn’t…

    The decision to persevere can often be challenging as there are many factors to consider. One example of my perseverance was graduating from the high school I attended in Canada. Being the only ethnic minority different from Chinese made me feel isolated. I thought of transferring school many times. What kept me going was that the experience in this school matured me to become a more open minded and independent thinker. Above all, learning how to speak Mandarin was an advantage I could take in my future studies into business. I have grown to appreciate my Chinese classmates and have come to realize my decision to remain at this school was worth the hardship.…

    As I finished my work at the Success Academy, I realized that I really did not know a lot about multicultural learning/instruction. I knew the basics to it, but I did not know all of the effects that cultures have on education. Getting the opportunity to work with students from the Saginaw area at the Success Academy was very eye opening. At first I was very hesitant and nervous, but as the weeks went on I really enjoyed getting to know the students and Mrs. Baldwin. One thing I did not like about the Success Academy was the program they used to teach the curriculum. I do not think that the online class was useful, many students went through the motions, but were not learning the material. At times it was hard to tutor the students, and show them how important these subjects were when they were just skipping through the tutorials. Unfortunately, I know that using an online class program is the most practical…
