My biggest academic challenge

Dear Karacr:

How are you? Last meeting, I felt so happy. I had a good time at that day. How about you? OH! I felt the SAT test was very dad, I thought I just finish 50%, because this test was so special, if you had wrong answer, you will lose the point. So, if I didn’t understand, I would not to answer.

 

   We also will have many challenges in our study. If you have challenge, you will not to solve. You will not only can’t learn something, but also stupider than before. Furthermore, I feel I have a lot of challenges. Like: new words, , talk to each other…One of my biggest academic was take note in the class. I usually can’t finish note in some class, because that teacher didn’t write all the knowledge in the board. Last time, the teacher told us to do homework. When I heard that, I thought how I can do my homework. I had no note. From that day, I as soon as to fond the nice teacher and my best classmate; ask them: what was their way of take note. From that select one way for myself. One of my classmates—Ting said to me “: you may not write whole thing what teacher say, because you must save the time, if you wrote whole thing, you will not have enough time. That will make you lose some knowledge in that class. She said to me that I must remember this way. Finally, she helped me to practice the way of take note after school. After school, I went to her home. She read some easy for me, then told me to take note about that easy. She helped me to practice this way for long time. Finally, I got this way to take note. I learn from this academic challenge was if you don’t understand, you must ask, do not keep it don’t understand. I think I will have more academic challenges in the future.  In the same way, I think it is: read the book; distribute the time; listen to different professor and learn from different professors teaches way. My dear imentor, can you give me some ideas for these academic challenges, how to find out these academic challenge?

I will wait for your idea, because I think you can help me. I want to know about your academic challenges, too. I want to know, how are you solve the academic challenge.

Goodbye!

    Hi! My dear imentor how are you? The time was change, is it good?

 

     I think I will graduate in June 2010. If I can graduate, I will go to the collage, because I want to find a good job for myself in the future. Does my school have majors?   Honestly: I not really know, because I am not really known major means which. I think I am very bad; I just have a little information about my school; but many classmate not sure what major means, too. Before this term, I think my GPA is OK, is more than 80; but this term I feel I have many subjects do not understand. So, I think my rank is in the middle of the class. This term’s first marking period GPA is very, very bad; just have 67.When I get the report card, I want to cry and I don’t want to study more. When I am form U.S. I never got the award. In China, I have been got it; it was about good student, that means go to school on time, not do the bad thing, listen to the teacher all the time; another was teacher’s helper, I think this one you will not understand, because in U.S. do not have this one. The other was about rank, in the class, I have been got 3 and 4, but that was not in the best school. In China, I was involved any kind of activity, but in U.S. I usually not, just a few time.  Like: some dance, sport, some kinds parade…Now, I have not taken SAT and PSAT, yet.  I will take SAT on this Saturday, but I do not understand many words, I just try my best. From now, I have been taken: glob history, math A, living enliven, earth science and Chinese, almost was pass, just history has 55, so I need to take it again. That is so bad, but I don’t know why I can’t understand and remember the history, I don’t know how I can study at this. I participate in after school; that is: gym, reading, art, yoga, health… Some are not this term, was before. Yes, I have part job, now. And in China, I have been work in the company for 40 days in the summer. I felt my work experiences is work hard, do any thing what your leader tell you, in the free time, to find  something to do, do not stand over there…

     I am not really known which my biggest strength in my student profile was, because I feel my student profile is not good, not bad. I think my biggest weakness in my student profile is history, because I can’t remember and not interesting that. If I could change one aspect of my student profile, I would change my memory, because my memory is very bad, sometimes the teacher just say something, I will forget too. I must take note when they say. This is my student profile.

      Bye-Bye, my bear imentor, chat with you next time. I am waiting for your feedback on my student profile. If my writing is not good, tell me. And if you can, you can help me correct them, because my grammar and writing is very bad.
