I passed Elementary Algebra

The last week. Mr Boehm sat me down and said,you can not get out of elementary algebra with out learning how to factor a quadric equation.I had one week to go, my grades were down. I needed to ace the final,to pass.I hired a tutor and explained what his responsibilities where. We met all day before the final, at about 4 pm, I got it. I showed up at the final exam cool.calm.and collected. I had my lucky #2 pencils, and my old fashion simply calculator. I was rested. My crib notes prepared. I am completely backed in to a corner,with my points, I had to ace the final exam, in order to pass the course. The Teacher Professor Boehm,handed me my paper first, and there it was the answers shooting out of the paper at me.I completed the exam and handed it in and Mr Boehm wished me a merry Christmas. So, I Had to wait for the final posting of the grade. This afternoon, I called and talked to the Professor.

He awarded me a " C " for the over all class. and he looks forward to teaching me Intermediate algebra, next semester. Thank You Mr Boehm, and thank you to everyone that helped me with homework and encouraged me.I am a University Level Elementary Algebra course completer.

Feeling cold and stupid/Algebra Final

Final Exam Elementary Algebra finished. grades will be posted Friday after noon the soonest.

Well how did I do?I attended the University of Maryville,St Louis Missouri, Chesterville.I got soon points form quizzes, some points from pre- test some points from the three 100 point test and some points from the final exam 150 points. Also the teacher explained to me that extra points come from attendance and class participation. Every week I was the first to arrive. I went around the other students,with there quiz ensuring the max 10 points for each quiz. the teacher allowed use to work with the other students.I was the only one that help every student in the class with there quiz.Last week everyone in the class got a 10 on the quiz. So I am the #1 attendance student. I am the number one participator in the class.Is it possible for me to pass the class.Yes,Slim chance. I learned a lot. On the University level. an honor i never imagined.Thank You Mr. Boehm. I am not a quitter, but I will come back strong. I will study hard over th winter break.I have been given a passion for algebra. I thank everyone that followed me though out the semester and supporting me

I have learned a lot. IF I FAIL I WILL BE BACK,IF I PASS I WILL BE Back Thanks My Friends and Family

one more class left, next Wednesday,algebra finals

The review class was today and another quiz. I have strategically place my self in a potion that I have to ace the final exam, in order to Pass. Ha Ha I got em right where I want them. My head says: "run for your live ; your a failure". The other me says:'hold her steady"" you've been in tough positions before". I went around the class and helped the other students with their quiz. I was the last student out the door. I met early with the instructor( I was the first student in the building) and he helped explained some stuff for me. All the other students were struggling with the quiz, quiz=10 points,very important points.

Is it time to run? hide? listen to those people(teacher) that beat me growing up. My report card from first grade to eight grade was all d's and F's with comments, Timmy would do better if he stopped being the class clown; (Timmy would do well if you stopped projecting your miserable life on me and stop hitting me, it hurt). I never went to kindergarten. I started school in first grade. Adults suck. So, where do I go from here. I didn't have a dream to go to the University,but I am here at Maryville University St. Louis, Missouri. The goal was to avoid War,survive drug abuse,survive NYC, fall in love, have children,successful at my profession,live long enough to hold my Granddaughter (Lillian Jade Harper), due 12/14/2010, Blessed are those that heal the sick and injured.So,what do I do? What would you do? I have been in this position before. I keep swinging till the fight is over, It's not over ,yet.I have a trick up my sleeve.If you want trouble back me into the corner. If you want me to succeed tell me I can't do it.

An Abundance Of Joy

Thank You,Thank You, Thank You. I have a wonderful family and all the love a person could hope for. My Prayers are being answered.I have a Granddaughter coming soon(due date 12/15/10) Lillian Jade Harper. Today was a wonderful baby shower for Tamra and Chris. It is truly amazing the wonderful friends our family has. Saturday night we met David's fiancées Family Keri has a great family, and we were welcomed with open arms into their family.So,cool. Eric and Jenny had a great Thanksgiving dinner at my cousin Janet's house. Thank you for everyone's warm wishes, gifts, support & prayers. I am blessed

I am enjoying the process/Algebra

I am enjoying the process. I got an "A" on my last quiz. I spent the day studying. I am starting to understand. I was the first to arrive in class today and the last to leave. I listened to everything the teacher said,I wrote down and took note on every thing the teacher wrote on the blackboard.This was a dream of others not me or anyone I knew. Yet, by the Grace of a loving,caring, God , I have been giving the opportunity to learn, acquire knowledge, on the University level. I recently found my report cards from grades 1-8, evidently every grade was a "D" or "F" with little comments, like Timmy would do better if he stopped being the class clown and focus and do his work.( Timmy is thinking, maybe if you stopped hitting me, maybe I could concentrate).Ninth grade was an experiment school, 1973, for specially chosen students ,that were at risk for Drug or Alcohol abuse and drop out. Ran by Cops, for the cops, the horror 1. class, Marijuana 2.class uppers, 3.class,Downers, class 4. class LSD class 5.MDA class 6. Cocaine, class7. everything you ever wanted to know about heroin, how to melt it down,using your cigarette filter to draw it up,how to get a vein. the semester ended when detective Frank Luper was gunned down. experiment failed. know one said " hey you, kid, you street urchin,what University would you like to attend. It was more like, have you tried the army recruiter? I am honored to attend the University. I am enjoy the process. I am learning about how to go to school, how to learn,how to study, and what is expected of me. Peace and Love ponytailtim

Living The Dream

Solving Quadratic Equations by Factoring,Using the Pythagorean Theorem, yea me. I dreamed one day studying at the University level, now I am there. Oh It's hard, but I am enjoying the opportunity to learn. I got a "B" on my last quiz. It's hard to imagine a junior high school drop out given this opportunity. If they could see me now, those teachers that didn't encourage me. Thank God I believe in myself. Thank God I have the grace of God. I am living the dream.
