Jan 14- trajectory through school

I expressed my experience in school through a timeline of pictures using my facial expression to show how much a cared/worried about school work. The first face I drew showed how I felt about EOGs and projects in elementary school. I was always worried I would get a bad grade and tried my best at everything. In middle school, I became less stressed about projects and tests but still studied a lot. In high school, I didn't really study or read anything. I was pretty much coasting by in school. After getting accepted to UNCC, I didn't study at all for any tests or projects. I quit every club I was in because I had the mindset "I've already been accepted to a school, I don't have to do anything now." I studied the night before my AP exams and, luckily, passed 2 of them. My first semester of college has brought back so much stress and anxiety because getting good grades is my main concern and I know I have to put forth effort to succeed.


Throughout my path through school, I discovered that I need to study and keep up with my homework to succeed and make good grades. I also discovered that I am a visual learner. I learn best when I see things and write them down rather than hearing them.

I believe my mom affected my path in high school because she always pushes me to get good grades and would reward me with money when I made A's.

My parents were definitely the biggest influence, like most students. They are both educated and it makes me want to be like them.

 I discovered from my timeline that I never lost my worrisome ways and I stayed the same person I always was when it comes to assignments in school. Although I diverged a little throughout my high school years, I got back on track when I came to college.

My groups trajectories were different from mine because some people focused on what was their main priorities in school, like sports, which I didn't participate in. They were similar because we all talked about how we slacked off in high school or stayed up later. The differences and similarities occurred because we are all different people and have different situations but we all had to go through high school and are all now enrolled at UNCC.
