As a student I have grown a lot this semester. I have grown as a student
because I have tried not to get a lot of red stamps and turning my assignments on time. I have also cared more about my grades, especially because they count for high school. When I had Ds and Fs I have tried to raise them up to a C or B. I have also matured and looked at things more seriously. I have also grown as a global citizen because I care more about the environment. It is important to be a global citizen because its good to be educated on other environments and of others peoples cultures than only what you are used to seeing. By just researching other parts of the world and people its like you just took an adventure because it captures your attention and its very interesting.
In my English class we were assigned a spring final project. It was a four page newsletter. In my class I was able to work with a partner. I researched the world in terms of prejudice against people because in the Newsletter we talked about the Jewish Holocaust and the Japanese Internment camp. I had already a little knowledge on both. We had to investigate a group of people going through prejudice in 2014. There are many forms of hatred people can do to one another; they are: bias stereotypes, racial discrimination, racism, and prejudging. Ive learned that prejudice can happen anywhere and to anyone, but you choose whether to stop it or keep on letting it happen.
In my science class I identified or interpreted an experimental error by looking back at my observations. I also identified outliers by noticing some negative or positive pattern that then breaks because an outlier like in graphs or charts. When we start a lab we have to make an educated prediction, hypothesis. If we were to get new questions in our lab, we talk about its important to find these new observations because it can change our hypothesis. Its also important because we need to include these new findings in our lab report.
In my math class we had a project that allowed us to survey people. The two driving questions were how many times you have tried an electronic device or electronic cigarette. The other question was, how old you were the first time you tried marijuana. After we got our results with our survey we showed a visual representation with charts. One of our charts was on a graph, it was a scatter plot. Our scatter plot showed us our hypothesis was wrong because it had no correlation. The points were all over the place, a cluster and it didn't make a line. It also meant our driving questions had no association.
I reflected on the experimental findings in the conclusion of my lab report to check if my hypothesis matched my findings. For example I did a project that was on an GlPO ESSAY BY:Genesis vELIS
environmental issue. I did a presentation on Oil spills. We used a lab report to help us and guide us through it. The project influenced my thinking because it made me be aware about what is happening around me. It also influenced my choices because now I recycle plastic and metal. I know you can take action with your friend and family by volunteering with organizations or just doing things at home. I also reflected on the experimental findings because I checked if it was correct.
I have grown as a global student over the past semester because I know more about the world. I also take action to help the environment by recycling. I think having these skills of being a global student will help me in my future education because Ill not only have knowledge on where I live but where other people live too. In order to continue to grow as a global student I will keep on learning about our environment and our world. I will also learn more about peoples culture outside my neighborhood.
