Type To Learn
Around third grade we learned how to type during our technology time in elementary school. It was probably one of my favorite times. It taught me the proper way to type and also helped to develop sentences. I even got the disc to take home and used it at home all the time. -
5th Grade Reading Project
During 5th grade we got to pick a book and do a project off of it. I remember it was such a fun activity but I really did not like to read as a child. So it taught me how to make my first tri-fold board and learn how to present it to my classmates. -
Congressional Hearing
In fifth grade we had to participate during congressional hearing. I was not excited about it at all. I remember I barely spoke during it, but I was required too so I could earn the points. It was helpful because we learned how to public speak in front of people. -

9th Grade English
I remember when we were required to read the book assigned to us and be able to comprehend exactly what was going on in the book. We also had to be able to answer questions. This was one of my hardest things I still struggle with. It did help me begin on how the best way to read and answer the questions. Sometimes though I will have to read it over and over again to really understand. -

My junior year in high school we had to do a practice interview. This prepared me for learning how to make a resume and what type of questions to expect when going to an interview. This event has prepared for the rest of my life. -

Writing all of these papers honestly sucked during high school. They have really helped me throughout college, and if I had not practice all those years I definitely would have struggled in college.
