Transitioning To High School
Transitioning from the middle school to the high school was definitely a hard task to do. I was constantly worried about getting lost, and not being able to find my way around. When I first arrived at the high school, I was very intimidated by the size of the high school and a number of hallways and classrooms in the building. It took me multiple days to actually get used to the building and where my classrooms are located. But, now it has been a few months since transitioning the to high school, I feel like I know the high school very well and where everything is located in the school. Being a freshman in the high school, I have not yet joined or started any activities outside of the classroom. One reason for not joining any was because I was overwhelmed with the school and the amount of work that I was going to receive. In the rest of my 3 years of high school, I am planning on joining some type of club, or …show more content…
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. Procrastinating makes a huge impact on my life, it stresses me out, and it makes me rush my homework and projects. Procrastinating my projects usually lead to a lower grade, which usually just leads to more stress. Every time I get a new project, I try my best not to procrastinate, and to ensure I don't procrastinate again is to plan out my project efficiently and plan steps to complete my project without rushing. No matter a number of failures or successes, I will keep trying to obtain my

    From personal experiences my definition of success has differed greatly from time to time. This is similar to how success of a gang member is dependent on where they currently happen to be in their lives. On one day success was defined as getting out of bed and staying awake for me, just as how a gang member thinking about changing his life. Getting out of bed is quite an insignificant act on its own, but in that period of my life I was not able to function and this was considered to be quite successful. A gang member simply thinking about his life may not be a significant act on its own, but when he has…

    High school will definitely be different. I find myself often wondering what it will be like. Not knowing what to expect is what scares me the most. I have gone through school always being the little kid. Finally for one year I get to be the big kid and then after all of the wonderful things that have happened this year it is all taken away. Starting high school I will once again be the little kid; the one who doesn’t know how things work. I do not look forward to another three years like that.…

    One important thing that defines success in our lives is our careers. With different careers, we will have different goals and measurements of our success. If you are an athlete, your success can be measured by lots of things such as wining tournaments, breaking records, playing in the top league or competing in the Olympics. If you are a scientist, the success in your life will mostly depend on your researches. One line of formula that can prove your theory is true can be the great success in your life. If you are a writer, you will probably succeed if your book gets on the best-selling shelf in the bookstore or if your works get published in a magazine. If you are a musician, playing in the country’s orchestra or a number of your CDs that have been sold can be counted as the measurement of your success. So we can see that another measurement of success in your life besides money is how much you have succeeded in your career.…

    There are many ways for young people to become successful in today’s educational paths within the workplace and even with personally set goals. Success is the favorable or prosperous termination of attempts or endeavors; the accomplishment of ones goals. The American essayist, teacher, and poet Ralph Waldo Emerson once stated “success is to laugh often and much to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children, to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends, to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others, to leave the world a bitter, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social conditions; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have to lived.…

    The failure that later led to my success was failing to get into my high school of choice. When I was in middle school, I lost my priorities and goals. My grades fell in middle school. Baltimore Polytechnic Institute(BPI) was known as the best school in Baltimore City. Both my siblings had gone to BPI and it was expected of me to attend. When I received my acceptance letter, I was put on the wait list. The deferral brought a shock to me as I just expected it to happen. That experience was the first time in my life that I realized I wasn't able to succeed with minimal effort . The feeling when I was denied made me feel insignificant. I was then told I had to go to a private school, my parents believed if I wasn't going to the best school…

    The greatest battle I’ve fought in life has been within my own fears. Growing up, my parents always emphasized the importance of doing good in school, being involved in the community and of course going to college to break the cycle in which we lived. At a young age, I never really gave much thought to what they said or even thought about growing up, especially not in the community in which I was raised. I am originally from a very small town in the Central Valley. Our population consist of over 90% Latinos and agriculture workers from low economic backgrounds. The small percentile of students who make it to high school graduation mostly decides to attend a local community college, but only a small percentile will actually finish or transfer,…

    But what is success? The answer varies depending on which person you ask. You can have success in education – like, getting good grades. Some people chose a life with business career over family. Those who are doing that often get children very late in life – or never. Here is the working life simply so important, that there is no time to have a family. But they have still success – just with work. Others have success with a family and some have a life with both business and family. I think that life is a lot about success – in all possible ways. Success is also having a partner/family, steady economy, a working day, good look, good friends –…

    With this publication, the Directorate of Research and Innovation is proud to introduce TUT’s 2012 rated researchers to the research community in general, prospective postgraduate students, other academic institutions and research-related industries. TUT has 39 rated researchers. Their profiles will give the reader some background and understanding of the researchers, their specialisation areas and the difference they make in numerous fields of science, humanities, the arts, information and communication technology and engineering. The former Foundation for Research Development introduced the evaluation and rating system for researchers for the natural sciences and engineering disciplines for the first time in 1984. A new system was implemented in 1999 to cater for research and scholarship in the fields of humanities, social and natural sciences, engineering and technology. The system is a benchmarking system based on the opinions of national and international peers about recent research outputs and the impact of each applicant’s work. Reviewers assess each applicant’s standing as a researcher based on the quality and impact of his/her recent research outputs and contributions. It also provides independent and objective information about the quality of research and South African research capacity in different fields. As such, it is a national benchmarking instrument, as well as a tool to identify strengths, weaknesses and trends in the South African science arena. These 39 rated researchers prove that this institution is well on its way to becoming a research institution with excellent leaders, world-class expertise and outstanding knowledge to make a difference in numerous fields of much needed research in our communities and our country and even on the continent.…

    First, let us look at the idea of success. Success can come in many forms, depending on the individual. Examples include success in one's career, but success is not just limited to the earning of money and power. People can also have a successful family life, or successful friendships. An environmental awareness project could be deemed a success, yet the success may not even be tangible, since it is difficult, or perhaps even impossible, to measure the growth in environmental awareness.…
