My Middle College Experience

I got to say for anyone who professionally teaches, I applaud you. Helping someone understand the combined gas law for example is so annoying. Where in a substance the amount of molecules are stable but the temperature of a substance, the volume of substance and the pressure it’s under are all changeable variables. Volume and pressure are multiplied and divided by the temperature.

Now to teach this you don't have to assume your students know what you’re talking about. But you’re banking on the fact that all your students are listening, taking notes and present hence understanding the curriculum

For the most part I’ve been there in class more then most of my school. I listen usually but notes aren’t my strong point unfortunately, but I can say for sure I understand and retain most of the general concepts lessons laws etcetera. That was taught to me.

The law of conservation states that energy is neither created nor destroyed but transferred.

Mercury & Bromine are the only elements to hold a liquid form when in room temperature. Hydrogen is composed of 1 neutron 1 proton and 1 electron and has the atomic mass of 1 si. nitrogen is the most common element in the atmosphere.

The president of the United States runs the executive, has the power to approve or veto a bill. Federal courts such as the Supreme Court is the judicial branch in which they interpret constitution in law, deeming what is and is not legal. Congress and the senate together are the legislature. This is called checks and balances used by the United States.


Everyone should know this, Should they not? I recall much of my class time listening to the teacher while watching other people seemingly not understanding anything and these were my friends.
At one point I had 3 papers overdue for the longest time; A sign language paper, an American Studies paper overdue 2 semesters ago and I have to interview my role model. I chose to talk about ASL culture I barely have a page done. The Manhattan project was at 1 point in my life vastly interesting, anything to do with espionage I adored now not so much seeing as i have to write a detailed account about it. I had 3 weeks notice about my role model assignment and I hadn’t conducted the interview yet.
I don’t know how I got though anything in school certainly would not have had I not met Lisa every day for my classes. Her stern look over my shoulder, checking me weather or not I’m doodling or really taking notes. I owe much to her.
