First Exam

Margo Gould

The first major exam today was kind of confusing to me because I didn’t know how to put my thoughts into a sentence to make sense. However, it went ok today I know that I could’ve done better on my sentences. It met my expectations because I knew that I would have to write a lot but not on every question. I would like to have multiple choice questions on the test or maybe two short answers at the end of the test. I prepared for the test by writing down all the definitions down and reading them out loud so I can remember them good, I also close my eyes and quiz myself or I ask my mom to quiz me so that I can be prepared for the questions to the test. One of my techniques of studying is writing my notes down repeatedly and saying them out loud it helps me remember. The part of my preparation that was successful was that I remembered the definition of the words and I remembered what I wrote down. The other part of the preparation would be quizzing myself and asking and answering the questions that I think would be on the test. I would change my studying time for next time because I really wasn’t prepared for this test. I studied at the last minute and that’s probably why I wasn’t so sure about my sentences. I’ll know to study and read more next time around.

Dear Rollins,

I agree with the first quote at the beginning of the video because it’s true that some people come from nothing but still get ahead in life. They usually don’t really know how to earn money because they always were given the money. They’ll just have to learn how to earn the money and work hard at how to survive in the world. If you do come from nothing you shouldn’t let that hold you back. The suggestions that he gave us in the video were very good. We should be very single-minded because you wouldn’t have to worry about anybody else. Being single-minded means that you are set on one goal and that’ll be your own. Putting your mind to whatever that you want to succeed in life can set that goal of you being successful.  There are a lot of people that come from the bottom and goes straight to the top because they are single-minded. People need to realize that you’ve got what you got and there’s no turning back. I personally disagree because you can always fix your mistakes and never do it again. The younger you are the more single-minded you are. You should achieve your goals while your still young and have monastic obsession stay motivated and stymied while achieving that goal.

Introducing my life

I’m Margo Gould I’m 18 years of age and I come from a large family. I was born and raised in Bryan, TX, I grew up with a family of two. There was my mother and my sister I was the youngest in the family. My mother and my sister is my whole support system. I’m very energetic and a family oriented person. Although I’m young and I’ve had a lot of life challenges, however, I am a person that likes to be in a positive environment. In my spare time, I like to play basketball because I enjoy it and it keeps me active. It matters to me because it calms me down from all of the stress that was given upon me. I am very good and competitive at playing basketball. In spite of the challenges I’ve faced in my life there are two goals that I’m aiming to achieve. Nursing is the main goal that I want to achieve because that is the major that I have chosen to come to college for because I want to learn more about the human body. I have recently started classes college class and I am looking to take prerequisites for nursing. The other goal is to produce music because I enjoy playing and listening to music. I come from a music family who loves to sing and play instruments. At the end of all of my accomplishments I want my whole entire family to be there to help celebrate my achievements. There are ones that I’d really appreciate to be there and they are the ones that inspired me to achieve my goals. They are the reason why I made it that far in life because they kept me motivated.
