Major Exam 1

My first major exam in READ 0304 it was hard. My expectation was that we could choose or on vocabulary to write the definition like the quiz. Also, I was thinking that we were going to have the true and false questions and that were going to use the articles from class. It didn’t meet my expectations but I worked it out. It took a lot of time but I did it. I prepare for this exam since last week I think I started to study the vocabulary words and the things that I didn’t understand. For the vocabulary words, I did make flash cards and study them every night.  The logical and illogical I take some examples from the book and do logical and illogical. Mostly I did it when I had a free time. The study plan that I use was beneficial and at the same time was not. It didn’t help me at the logical and illogical I totally will switch it up next time and find something better that can help me. When I saw the full short writing answer I was like scared and nervous at the same time. The most difficult thing on the exam for me was the critical reading and inference. The hard thing about inference was defined it was hard to remember the definition for me but I made it.

My Relationship With Words

          My relationship with words is not good. I have a hard time pronouncing and writing some words. English is my second language it's harder to pronounce and write words. I continued to practice and know is a little easier for me to write words. Words have a good side and the bad side. The good side from words for me is that I can express my feelings. The bad side from words is that they can hurt people feelings. Basically, the word for hurting people feelings is Bulling. Words have failed me when I was in 4th grade when I came to the U.S. I started school and people bullying me because I didn’t know English. My classmates, they did know that I didn’t know English but some they did know Spanish. They asked me a question in English that I didn’t know what they were talking about. But because I wanted to be nice I always said yes but they always started to laugh when I did say yes. I got tired of the laughing and I tell them thinks that I’m not proud of. My words that failed me is that I should be more patient. The words that make me proud of myself is “Yes, you can”. Those words mean a lot to me because sometimes I just want to quit but my mother and father they are When I'm trying to help to benefit someone I will find good words to tell them to stop or if they don't listen I would find more aggressive words. I would not like to find that aggressive words. The artist that I really like wants words he uses is Colin Powell when I'm about to quit I look this quote and I don’t quit Instead I tried until I get it. This is the words that inspired me “There are no secrets to success. It is a result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure. This words inspired me to not quit and to continue to work hard to get my goals.
