  1. My name is Karen on This is my English 13.
  2. 01 overview for Miss Gonzalez class the first few weeks
  3. into the semester was very confusing and difficult.
  4. It was nothing like I would thought it would be.
  5. My thoughts come into this course or based on my
  6. high school experience, I figured it would be the exact
  7. same, just different greeting.
  8. Yet it was nothing like that, considering our first few
  9. weeks. The first few was Sammons, like our carnal notes
  10. took me by surprise because most of the time in
  11. school we would do Cornell notes.
  12. But I guess it was just easier once we receive
  13. the assignments, including our new partners.
  14. Toe work with Those were nothing like I thought I
  15. had done before.
  16. I struggled to understand what exactly Miss Gonzalez wanted us
  17. to put into the documents even after reading what to
  18. do. I still don't understand what she wanted.
  19. It took my burger and I three times to fully
  20. understand. It was so much for me to take in,
  21. and it was hard, since I am not used to
  22. learn without a teacher or a professor in front of
  23. me and showing me what exactly to do.
  24. I also did not want to communicate miss consults because
  25. I felt that I would either annoy her or she
  26. would just be flat out rude to me, still struggling
  27. with everything that was being added into my Delmar canvas,
  28. my gradual slipping extremely at first since I was struggling,
  29. I was too nervous and scared to speak out to
  30. Miss Gonzalez.
  31. In our first quiz, Chapter 17 Strategies for Drafting in
  32. our Textbook, the Bedford Guide for College Writers.
  33. I made a 70 out of 100 which some may
  34. say it is not bad, but I, for one, say
  35. it is Chapter 15 strategies for generating ideas and temper.
  36. 16 Strategies for stating a thesis I'm planning the corner
  37. notes was one of my lowest grades since I made
  38. a 64 which is just horrible to me.
  39. In my essay.
  40. One final undocumented immigrants human beings, not animals, was another
  41. one of my low grades Ah, 63.
  42. But that was before she had a five point extra
  43. credit, which made it be a 68 which is still
  44. bad to me.
  45. So that was my first essay I had to re
  46. first review what I needed to be done.
  47. I hate and how to use beacon sources.
  48. Beacon was very difficult because I had never used the
  49. site before.
  50. After turning in the essay and getting back my feedback
  51. for Mr Gonzales, I did understand why she gave me
  52. the great that I had.
  53. I had plenty of errors and compared to what she
  54. wanted, it was not exactly what she wanted.
  55. I would add comments to some of my assignments to
  56. make sure some issues were being known to Miss Gonzalez,
  57. which is the all the way I would communicate with
  58. her. Balancing both my high school and college classes was
  59. difficult and hard.
  60. I would always we, uh, play and studying.
  61. I knew this from the start because it was my
  62. senior. This year I had nine classes, frequently ascends for
  63. every day and even sometimes weekends, which made me stress
  64. a lot.
  65. I would try to finish everything, every class, every single
  66. assignment that had to be done, which is why I
  67. would only get 3 to 4 hours to sleep, sometimes
  68. during the day, had a virtual online high school classes
  69. and started at 8:50 a.m. and did not end till
  70. four PM every day.
  71. But when I was not in class during the day,
  72. I was helping my grandma and my grandpa, My mother,
  73. with my wife and watching my niece was four years
  74. old. These family issues did make me fall behind the
