Exhibit: English papers

Skills: English/Language arts
For my English and language arts I chose a worksheet on proper grammar and a paper that I had to type for English. English has never been a struggle for me and has always been fairly simple. Learning the rules of the English language has always been something that I seem to just know, so learning it and being tested over it isn't very tough.
This worksheet shows that I understand proper grammar and usage of the different forms of words. The paper I wrote for my English class had a topic of “E-readers or textbooks”. We had to choose which one we are for and write down why we are for it and what the pros and cons are of each. I chose this paper because it was a short paper we had to write but it was also graded strictly. Not only was it graded on what we chose and that we had proper arguments but since it was for English class we were graded on grammar and correct forms on speech.
These assignments fit this subject best because it shows that I am good English and I enjoy the subject. It’s much easier to enjoy something that you are good at. Writing papers and learning proper grammar is something I enjoy because I use it daily. This can help em for my career for when I write up something for my client to work on or practice outside of my class; I won’t look as if I don’t know what I'm talking about with incorrect grammar. People respect and will take you more serious if you have correct grammar and use the correct form of speech.

Exhibit: Geometry quiz and test
Benchmark: Academic
Skills: Math
For my math portion I have two exhibits and they’re both from geometry. I chose a quiz and a test from geometry because the logic used while identifying the shapes, the measurements, and the different angles is making my brain work. I chose a quiz from chapter 6 which is identifying the properties of trapezoids and kites. I chose my test from chapter 6 which covers the bases from proving quadrilaterals and parallelograms to identifying the properties and ways to prove them.
The quiz that I chose was a daily quiz reviewing the lesson we were taught the previous day. On the quiz we had to use definitions and theorems to support why we thought a specific shape was that. I chose this test because there are a lot of theorems and postulates that are tough to remember. On the test we had to know why each shape was called its specific name and the reasoning behind that.
From this quiz and this test I learned how to practice critical thinking and used logic. Although this example was fairly simple compared to others, it shows that critical thinking can be important in many ways. These examples of critical thinking show that when I’m under pressure taking a math test over information that I was taught over a short period of time and still get a good grade. Having these skills will help me in the future for when one of my client’s needs help trying to figure out what club he needs when taking a shot or what is needed to achieve a goal. I’ll know the answer right then and there because of the critical thinking practice I have had while taking this math class.

Exhibit: Chemistry homework and test
Benchmark: Academic
Skills: Science
I chose my chemistry homework and test because it was hard for me to get a good grade in chemistry. Chemistry was one of my least favorite subjects I have taken simply because it was tough. The two assignments I chose were both tough for me. The review I have was over matter. I never fully understood all the technical terms of the chapter so when we got the worksheet I brought it home and took my time on completing it. The test I have was over kinetic molecules. That was also tough for me because there is so much to know in just a short period of time to learn it.
These two assignments gave me a boost of confidence after a long night of studying. I knew right from the start of each of these chapters that I had to work extra hard to get the grade I wanted on the test for them both. Chapter 3 review is what helped prepare me for the test and gave me the confidence I needed to get a good grade. Chapter 10 test is the outcome of me completing all of the assignments prior to the test and preparing myself well enough to get the grade I got.
Although chemistry isn’t something I will need for my career it gave me a nice practice and the knowledge to never give up on something that I struggle with. Regardless of how hard something is, if you practice it and study hard enough you can achieve whatever you want. Someday I may want to do something that chemistry is involved with and having some prior knowledge can help me out.

I chose two worksheets from geography. They are both from the same chapter and during this specific chapter; I didn’t understand one thing until I studied long and hard at home for continuous nights. Geography is my least favorite subject; understanding all of the systems and features of the world is one thing I’m not that good at. One worksheet consisted of The American Party System and its functions. We were given thirty questions and had the choice between five different functions as to which one was what. The other worksheet consisted of Eastern Europe and everything that it had to offer.
Not being good at this subject makes it much harder to focus and want to study for it, but at the same time I need to study and spend my time focusing on a class like this. I disliked it only because it didn’t come to me as well as some other classes did. The paper I wrote proves that I took the time to do enough research and learning about what I had to write about and translate it into my own words. The worksheet just states that I paid enough attention in class to complete the worksheet and get a good grade on it. These two assignments show that although this wasn’t my strongest subject I still tried my best to get the grade I wanted and achieved my goal. Geography can be very important throughout life; understanding how things work in not only the United States but other countries as well. Knowing and understanding will help me when watching the news or trying to keep current on world events. It won’t necessarily help me with my future career but understanding what is happening around me in the world is very important.

In 10th grade I took an online math class that took a lot of focus and determination to get through. It was the first online class that I took and it challenged me greatly. Throughout this online class I had to take my own notes that I thought would benefit me when I took the quiz and test for that chapter.
The math class was for financial math and it taught me a lot about taxes and how the government works when paying for things on your own. It showed you how to calculate the federal and state taxes for your paycheck when you have a job and have to pay for taxes. If it wasn’t for this online math class I wouldn’t know a lot about how the government works and how to budget myself for when I’m on my own in the real world.
In my future career as a sports instructor, taking this online course will help me because it taught me how to choose the correct and important information and record it at my own will. It taught me the right decision making and gave me confidence in myself. In just, when I have a client taking swings I will know the right things to look at and what to record to help improve my clients game.

Skill: Health/Physical Education
During weight training we are assigned to record what we do after each exercise. We have to write down how many sets and reps we did, the amount of weight we used and the level of difficulty during the specific exercise. Weight training has taught me many things. It has taught me responsibility and taught me more about my body and how it works.
Each year we are assigned to make up a workout program that is personalized to fit our own body. We include various exercises that would help benefit our body and get us to reach the goal we plan to achieve. Not only do we make up a program for ourselves but we also have to do research about the whole body. We learn all the different muscles and everything we are working when we work out. We have to figure out the correct amount of repetitions and correct amount of sets that will help us reach our ending goal.
Doing this and having to do research about the human body; how it works and what can benefit or hurt it was very helpful for me. This can help me in many different ways in the future. If I ever want to work out or get myself in shape I will know just what to do and I won’t have to pay money to have someone help me or set up a program for me. This can also help me if any of my clients want to get in shape or want to lose weight or just get healthier I can help them. Knowing extra things like that will make me a better golf instructor.

I chose the checks and balances system and the 27 amendments worksheet. I chose these two worksheets because I felt like these two would help me out the most in the future. The checks and balances worksheet shows that I understand the checks and balances of the United States and how the system works. I also chose the 27 amendments sheet because it shows how the 27 amendments work in the United States.
Both of these worksheets can help me out in the future because understanding and knowing how the government works and what its based off of is very important for a citizen of the united states. These two worksheets might not directly help me in my future career but will help me when it comes to being an adult in this country. The amendments sheet was tough to learn because there is a lot to understand to eat amendment. The checks and balances worksheet was tough to understand because there is a lot to know to each three of the branches.
I learned how to teach myself to memorize each of the amendments and how the check s and balances system runs. While studying both of these I taught myself different techniques to studying both of them. Both of these worksheets taught me different techniques to memorize information and it will help me in my future career as a golf instructor when thinking of the different rules on how a golf swing should work. Learning these new techniques will help me in my college class trying to learn all of the new information that goes along with being a sports instructor.

Skill: Elective
For my next two electives I’ve chose two worksheets from my film study class. The first worksheet is about Cinderella which is one of the movies we watched. This worksheet was testing whether I’m paying attention in the movie and if I’m catching all the details from what we were learning in class. I chose this worksheet because my listening skills are very well and I pay attention to great detail throughout movies or just from someone talking. The next paper I chose was the history on movies. I chose this because without knowing this information I wouldn’t have been able to complete any of my assignments going through this class. All of the worksheets for this class reflected the history of movies.
The first worksheet I chose can help me in the future for when I get a new client that I am unfamiliar with and when trying to figure out their issue as to what they need help and what they need fixed, I can listen to the detail they tell so I can get it fixed. Not only will it help me in my future career but it will also help me during my personal life.
Being able to listen to people and understand what they are saying is a very important skill to have. The worksheet defining the short history of movies may not help me in my future career but learning something like this shows that I can take in information and can apply it when I need. This can help me in my career because not ever client is the same, but everyone will have different issues involving golf. Although their problems will be different ill still have to use the knowledge I gained while going to school. Practicing this in high school will prepare me for when I need to remember it in college.
