As Hannah knows, I had to take my car in for some unexpected repairs today so am a little short on money at the moment.…
Walking into the locker room about to get ready to go to our last football game of the season. I could smell the sweaty equipment from the kids who never take their pads home. The Hempfield Spartans 7th grade team would be ending their season 0-7 if we didn’t win today. As I was changing into my pads my friend mike walked in the room. I said “you ready for tonight”. “Heck yeah” replied Mike.…
In chapter 12, the key event to me was when Claudia and Finn talked to each other through the keys. I felt many emotions when reading their interaction one of them being happy. I felt happy when they talked to each other because it was a turning point in the story in my opinion. I also felt surprised because at first, I thought by having two keys, there would be a lock that would need both keys to hear and speak to each other. I also felt confused by the way they conversed; How could they now hear each other but not before. I think by having one key being touched, the other key can hear because on page 153 Claudia says she breathed and rubbed on the key making it warm and on page 154 Finn says when he touches the key it's warm.I like the way the author wrote the scene from both perspectives, it gave us the readers a clearer understanding of how both Finn and Claudia felt. I also like how the author described the way both keys affect each other and have a "key" connection.…
In life, failures occasionally happen. It befalls on everybody. However, failures don’t label us as a person but can build you as one of those experiences. The person who succeeds without first failing hasn't truly learned anything. In failures, there can be a learning experience and an opportunity to develop. Throughout my seventeen years, I've encountered my own share of blunders, each teaching me a new lesson.…
Everyone is bound to make mistakes and I’ve seen each one of my coworkers make mistakes and errors including myself. However, I’ve learned that its not about what mistakes you’ve made or how you made those mistakes, but it is about what you do after making those mistakes or errors that really count.…
Albert Einstein, a wise scholar, once stated, “The only mistake in life is the lesson not learned.” Furthermore, I have come to comprehend that I have learned a major lesson throughout my teen years: the importance of responsibility.…
My objective was to give students the opportunity to refine their fine motor skills, recognition of shapes (specifically the circle), recognize colors and finally to use their own creative thinking in creating their individual pizza. I thought you should state your objective(s) so teacher would know what talking about when say you met them- see if the objectives I wrote are correct????All of the students met the objectives for cutting and gluing; the fine motor skills. I ended up drawing out the circles for the pizza crust for the whole class, instead of only for the 1st grade students. Was second grade the others?????? They were able…
While it’s not easy to admit that you’ve made a mistake, personal responsibility means admitting when you’ve made a mistake. The definition of personal responsibility is “the quality or state of being accountable; especially: an obligation or willingness to accept responsibility or to account for one’s actions.” (Merriam Webster’s Online Dictionary, 2012) Everyone needs to accept responsibility for their own actions or inactions, after all no one is perfect. Even I have made numerous mistakes throughout my life time, but I have never been afraid to admit to any of my mistakes and after I admitted to the mistakes they were easily corrected.…
Everyone makes mistakes so something positive is bound to come out of a few of them, right? Every single person makes at least one mistake everyday. There is no way to avoid it, whether it is spilling your morning coffee on yourself on the way to work or accidentally cutting someone off in rush hour traffic, even the smallest miscalculation is still a mistake. It is impossible to avoid a misstep here and there so why act like it is the end of the world? Just pick yourself up and embrace the land of mistakes with as much pride as you can because after all, mistakes can lead to the best things in your life to happen. If you can’t move past it, at least ignore it, you will find yourself so much happier if you no longer dwell on your past faults.…
My friend slapped my face screaming words I would forever live by, “ You may try and fail, you may try again and fail, but you only fail when you stop trying. Get back up and don’t let it weigh you down, you can only learn from failure. If you think you are at rock bottom it's all good because the only way you can go is up, I can help you let's go up together.” At that moment I realized that failure can provide learning opportunities, if I let it . I then tried to look back at my mistakes and the biggest one was not practicing for my…
Mistakes in life are like the first time you jump into a pool without knowing how to swim; it allows you to realize it’s not a good idea and learn how to correct it before you end up drowning again. You’ll never learn anything in life without making mistakes first because they are the best learning experiences.…

On Monday I turned in my journal which bought up my grade. Mrs. Rado, Krogstad from A Doll’s House, Beowulf from Beowulf, Hamlet from Hamlet, and Elizabeth Proctor from Crucible changed me for the better not only did I pass English with a good grade, but the lessons I learned were invaluable. I have learned to be patient, a hard worker, selfless, to pick your friends wisely, and don’t cheat or lie. This overall experience has taught me that life has many hidden lessons we just have to be willing to accept them so we can grow as a person.…
Needless to say, that changed very quickly. I learned to always consider about the possibility of failure. I learned to look ahead and see where my actions were taking me. Whether I liked the path or not, I had the ability to do something about it. I will never let my situation get so bad that it ends up like it did before.…
The lessons we take from obstacles we encounter can be fundamental to later success. An obstacle can be a setback and anything that challenges you. I have faced many of challenges, but all of them have made me stronger. For example, when I was in 7th grade I broke my ankle at the beginning of football season. Another example is when I was in 8th grade I found out I had ADD, which makes it really hard to stay focused. Also this past summer I gained 30 pounds, which was really hard when football season came around.…
