i have been experienced many terribles thing. Once, i got a lot of homework from school. In addition, i have to finish my thesis this year exactly. But, one of the most terrible things i got is that i don't have money to buy my needs or stuffs. See, how poor I am. !
You will conquer this.
I have really enjoyed this English
This month I resigned from my work and looked for any hiring near in our place. I felt frustrated for I didn't received any calls from the schools that I applied at. I hope I may find a work soon.
Learning online is the best solution recently. The first reason is for an individual feels very old for attending an in-person class. The second reason is saving time for catching a bus or riding a taxi..................
Thank you all for this messagges
The pressure to get into a good university is tremendous for someone like myself, who lives in a third world country. Dollars are an unfathomable amount in my currency, which unfortunately means that I cannot offer over $5000 per year to any American university without accepting a high risk of rejection. My parents are adamant on making themselves feel better about our predicament by insisting that a good university will be the product of my effort and intelligence over money. I don't have the heart to tell them otherwise, so here I am, completing free courses online to put up a semblance of effort.
This passage is a personal narrative that expresses the emotional and socioeconomic challenges of pursuing higher education abroad, especially for someone from a developing country. It reveals feelings of pressure, frustration, and quiet resilience, and it's powerful in how it blends personal experience with social commentary.

Exactly
It was actually fun, It is very well comprehensible, easy to understand but actually kind'a draining.
hi everyone, done with fifth moduleee
With gratitude, I gallantly completed the cause, by reading through and gaining much, like skills of writing, joining and structuring sentences with error free among other. Greatfulness!
On last march 20,2024 i resigned from my job as a sales associate to complied document for my visa going abroad but sadly my visa denied. So that since my visa wasn’t approved I planned to go back in school now here I am trying to finish the unit 5 in this course
I have been experience trouble things.
I have finally made it to the end. After all of the reading I feel it is worth the struggle.
It feels rewarding, doesn't it?
Unit 5 focused on the importance of polishing the final paragraph and elongating it also. It was hard but I believe I can get through it. Thank you for the effort
Writing is not really my forte. Ever since I was young, I find writing time consuming and tiring. Thus, I never really expected that I will be in love with it - from its format up to its usage.
it's hard being a poor student.
Actually, I have my struggles in writing a paragraph essay this would be difficult to me to composed sentences related on the topic.
i have been experienced many terrible thing. Once, i got a lot of homework from university. In addition, i have to finish my lots of English language problem this year exactly. But, one of the most terrible things i got that is i don't have money to buy my needs or stuffs, this made me proud and confident.
Done
This course has genuinely helped me in many ways. I now feel more prepared to write essays, especially on personal topics like letters or résumés. As I begin applying to colleges and scholarships, I realize how important it is to use writing to impress the reader. Thanks to this course, I now feel confident in my ability to do that. The information provided was truly valuable and worth reviewing!
Thank you for the opportunity to share! During this writing practice, I wrote about my experience working at a place I didn’t enjoy. Initially, I struggled with staying focused and often went off-topic, but after some practice, I’ve gained more confidence in structuring my writing. The biggest challenge was selecting specific words to make the writing more vivid, but with help from peers and the instructor, I’ve seen improvements. I'm excited to continue improving and learning from others here!

Reflection Essay on the Education System
In my experience, the education system has been ineffective for many reasons. I have been studying for 14 years now and I noticed a pattern in the education system. First, there is a fixation on lower-level learning like memorizing. This is very ineffective for knowledge retention because it pigeonholes our brain to function only through pattern recognition recall. Second, it generalizes the multiple intelligence of different students. Because every student have different specialties, they should not be treated to the same standards as other students. And lastly, it limits creativity with mechanisms like word count limits. So, I believe that the education system failed me because of its fixation on lower-level learning, generalization of multiple intelligence, and limitation of creativity.
Firstly, the education system should move on from lower-level learning. In bloom’s taxonomy, the lower-level learning are memorization, comprehension, and application. While they are useful in learning information at the time they are being absorbed, they do not have redeeming qualities for long-term retention. For example, in periodical tests, a lot of the questions are identification, enumeration, and multiple choices, which only promotes pattern recognition recall. In my experience, I often forget everything that I memorized for a test after the event. In my opinion, analysis, synthesis, evaluation, and creation, should be given more focus because it provides a better scope for a student’s knowledge on a matter. Forming relationships between different types of information is more effective in learning retention than remembering what the powerhouse of the cell is. Students need to be taught how to transform information as opposed to treating them as collectibles.
“Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid,” is what Albert Einstein said. This perfectly encapsulates my second point on the generalization of students’ multiple intelligence. While I do agree that there should be an average standard for each skill, comparisons between differently-able students are harmful to motivation. You cannot compare a mathematics wizard to a literary genius because they fundamentally have distinct specialties. And I know that specialty cultivation may occur in College because students are free to choose their programs; however, I believe that it should be implemented at lower years of education. For example, in elementary, if teachers notices their students’ passion, special activities dedicated to the learner’s skill is a must to further develop them. In simple words, if a student is passionate about something, the education system should reward them with support, rather than ridicule for lacking performance in other areas.
And lastly, the limitation of creativity among learners is detrimental to students’ imagination. The power of the imaginary world through visualization and belief is limitless. However, when teachers imposes things like “minimum or maximum amount of words,” it limits it. One of the main arguments for this is that it challenges us to come up with something despite these limits, yet it only frustrates us because we either have to add unnecessary volume or reduce their thoughts. In my personal experience, the “minimum amount of words on written outputs” frustrates me a lot. As a writer, I believe that the message of a piece is not determined by its length. However, because of this set prompt, I have to add unnecessary lines and stanzas that will ruin the output’s coherence. It is incredibly frustrating because students should be allowed to come up with creative outputs at their own discretion. Because if not, students will believe that they are only as good as the teacher limits them to be.
In conclusion, the education system is ineffective because of a fixation on lower-level learning, generalization of multiple intelligence, and limitation of imagination. All these three factors contribute to how inefficient the learning of the students are growing up. Even after 14 years of being a student, I still cannot remember the lessons I have memorized during Senior High School, I still feel inadequate for not keeping up with best students of other subjects, and I still have frustrations toward the word count limit. If the world wants the students to excel to their highest level, the chains of the current education system should be unlocked to pave way for a better one.

I learn from others, and reflect on my progress. Whether it's an essay, a story, or a thoughtful response. My contribution can inspire others and help build a supportive community.
ThIs unite was so hard
I startd this unit after finishing the first 4 units and and this was the hardest in my opinion. For example this units requires A lot of practice and reading to understand the massage of this unit. I was struggling in the beginning but with practice everything got much easier.
It’s still hard for me to get all done but i think with all of this practice activities i got this. Thank you all.

Happy to be finishing this course.
I really liked this course. It was easy for me to understand. I used to be really bad in writing anything. After studying this course I am confident that I can present anything better.
Wonderful course so far
I have really enjoyed my experience using the Saylor app. I feel like my writing skills have improved significantly compared to what they were like when I first started. I am now able to keep an entire five paragraph essay in the correct tense with the proper punctuation, which is something I struggled with before. Overall I would definitely like to use the app again next year.
It was very good to learn to our skills
It was good to learn and improve our skills.

I am making my post. If other people were celebrating their progress, I would as well. Quite frankly, I don't have the time for forum posts.
