Disappointing Myself
In my first year of high school, I was felt striving and passionate. My friends and I had been enthusiastic to try different clubs and activities. One of my choices was robotics. The class seemed interesting and had caught my attention form the moment I had heard of it. But it required a lot of work by hand and passions.
The demonstration day which students represented the work they had done in each club. This was a very significant day for the entire school department. My teacher had randomly selected my robot to go first. I felt prominent and panicked, I had tired my robot and it worked but I also made a few changes to the light sensors and attached few more pieces for more precision. My robots purpose was to trace a black line in a white surface, this was possible due to he light sensors that just detects the light’s intensity at a point. I placed my robot on to the white board with a circular black line. While my teacher was lecturing about the mechanism of my robot, I attached the battery. Expectedly waiting for it to work, it displayed no indication of movement. Nervously I played with the battery a few more times. But apparently I had no luck and the robot did not start. The principle and a few teachers were watching and observing my project very attentively. I was trying my best to maintain a relaxed expression on my face, while hands were trembling. The gazes of others were taking away my ability to speak, my mouth turned dry and my muscles felt motionless and inert. Finally my teacher stepped in and suggested to try another robot. No
Looking back on this year as a whole, it's been a mixed bag for both the club and myself for obvious reasons. At the start of the year, we managed to improve our form for the run in to the end of the season. Unfortunately, the damage was already done. It's never nice for anyone involved to get relegated, especially when you do it for your job of work. Ultimately, you get reminded that you've failed. It was a hard one to take and that was part of the reason I wanted to stay here – to put that…
UTC Response to Literature I think that the morale of the story is the importance of perseverance. Also to keep hope and faith through difficult times. Julilly and Liza had tough times trying so hard to get to Canada but they made it. This lesson of “not giving up” also relates to Nelson Mandela. He wrote famous quotes about failing and not giving up. He had a very hard beginning getting arrested and going to jail for a long time and just like Julilly and Liza, he had to struggle to find a way…
right back to my audition, almost as if I had never landed on my ankle the wrong way. My second option was to go home, elevate my ankle, and stay off of it for a couple of weeks. Without delay, I chose the former. I had trained for months, and worked myself like a dog in preparation for that audition, so there was no way I was going to turn back now. Before I could leave, the doctor clued me in on the implications of my decision. He said that returning to the audition would only make the sprain hurt…
I’ve had to teach myself. The energy spent on hate and despise isn’t worth the stress and negativity. I was left out on my own to figure everything out and through trial and error, I grew a tremendous amount. Not only did I mature into an adult, but I turned my life around by making life-changing decisions and come to accept who I am as an individual. Although I grew up attending mass every sunday and attending a catholic elementary school for 7 years, I no longer claim myself to any religion nor…
to my team that even if that person is under the weather that is no reason to slack off and makes excuses. In adulthood I have learned that in order to succeed it is important to be responsible and be dedicated. Same way I was dedicated to not disappointing my team and responsible enough to show up. In order for me to become the mature women I am today it major…
solely blamed yourself. Shree: Are you trying to say that it is someone else’s fault. Wasn’t it I who was taking all my decisions. I am to be blamed for whatever has happened because I was not a teenager, I was an adult. Why shouldn’t I blame myself because as soon as I got the acceptance letter from the pharmacy school I took the decision of attending that college? I never thought how my parents were going to manage to pay my expenses. My parents never forced me into a specific field of education…
morning and combed the internet for listings and applied to everything he felt qualified for with the hopes that not too long after would he hear from one of them. He waited patiently for a response but, as time stretched out longer, was met with disappointing results. With the need and desperation to get a job, Mr. Zamora did something not many would think about when it came to their resume. He dropped the S from his first name. Jose was Joe now and as mentioned on the article, a week after he did…
numerous of grammar mistakes (no offense), incompetent facts and irrelevant remarks on our schools financial and academic system. Contrary to your popular belief, our schools have not “failed” everyone nor teachers nor students, coming from Simi Valley High School myself. Despite our nationalism against Royal, we still consider that high school to be one of the best schools in Ventura County. In my own opinion, I can say that Simi Valley schools do not suck. Why? The reason being that there are many students who are excelling in advanced level classes…
Myself “I have never found a companion that was so companionable as solitude. We are for the most part more lonely when we go abroad among men than when we stay in our chambers. A man thinking or working is always alone, let him be where he will.” I find common ground when reading this quote from Henry David Thoreau. As quoted by many, solitude is bliss. Stepping out of the hustle and bustle of the world to be by oneself for moments in time are quite beneficial. When people are alone, there is…
same time, I knew that my actions in the classroom were a whole lot more important. My vision of becoming a baseball player seemed more like a dream after not hearing from a single college coach going into my senior year of high school. I then told myself that no matter what I will continue to work hard and focus on becoming better. Due to my ambitious attitude, a coach from Georgia Perimeter College selected me to play on the team as an outfielder. After hearing this wonderful news, it hit me. Most…
