 My personal tips for preparing for an exam is practice tests because I wanna get a feel of what type of questions are gonna be on the test. Such as short answer questions, multiple choice, fill in the blank, matching, and true or false questions. Another tip is to find out how much time I have on the exam. Once I find out how much time I have, I then figure how much time I have for each question.

 The hardest part of writing is organizing your ideas because before you write anything you have to figure where this detail is going to go in your body paragraphs. Then you have to create a template or a graphic organizer to see what goes where. Next you write out a rough draft. After that, you let somebody revise your rough draft and let them give you feedback to fix any mistakes on your draft. Finally, write a complete final draft. 

 My thoughts on near death experiences will be me looking down from heaven at past memories. I will be unconscious and clinically dead. I will be able to see my ancestors from decades ago. These experiences are going to happen scientifically, because there will be a surge in the brain  activity, potentially leading to vivid memories and altered perceptions.

 Mastering precise vocabulary can impact your daily communication and academic success by helping you learn difficult words that you may have never seen or heard of before. Practicing vocabulary is great when you're speaking in front of a large group of people or an audience, having a conversation with somebody, or talking to your family. Vocabulary is good when you want to speak with somebody to get a job.

 I would live in the suburbs because it's quiet, you don't hear as much traffic as you would in the city, and lower cost of living. There are potentially better schools and provides more space. It also lacks the excitement of city life. 

 I will strive to avoid student loan debt to get a scholarship, choose the right school that would fit me, go to community college, or m aking careful choices about spending and borrowing can help you avoid debt altogether.

 A vocab word from this list that resonates with me personally is the word Nirvana . This word is significant to me because I feel no suffering and I always live in happiness everyday. Speaking of the word Nirvana, there is a band called Nirvana and they sing about the opposite of what the word means. They sing about hopelessness and surrender.

Of course, I would check where the product comes from that I'm buying. Sometimes I would buy shoes that are cheaper and fake than the ones that cost a thousand dollars. Other times I would pay more for something because of tax. It can be worth it to spend more, but otherwise go for the cheaper option.

 I failure that was necessary for my growth was me failing a grade. This gave me confidence for basketball because if I didn't fail the grade, I would've got cut from the team. Since I didn't get cut, there is more to improve on and next year for basketball my confidence is going to build up. 

 Someone that has already achieved a similar dream is Noah Lyles. Lessons I can learn from his journey is to keep your body healthy, stretch everyday, have great form, have great posture when running, and push beyond what you can do. When you come out of the blocks at the start line, you come out the blocks with power and strong.

 The word milieu is defined as an environment. I encountered it because I live in a milieu. It is an environment that is filled with wild life, creatures, plants, sunshine, human beings, cars, and buildings. Understanding this word will help me improve my communication and writing skills by learning new words like these and using in my writing.

 Standard Time because I don't want to gain or lose an hour cause it disrupts my schedule completely. For example, if the time is set for spring time I will have to change my schedule and sleep earlier and later. If I sleep later I will go overboard in sleeping and miss school time cause I didn't change my alarm.

The best cook in my family is split between my mom and dad. A meal that my mom has made is homemade lasagna. A meal my dad has made is New York strip steak, Filet Mignon, or hanger steak.

 The most disgusting food I have ever had was couscous and  Quinoa.  Couscous is a traditional North African dish of small steamed granules of rolled semolina that you often served with a stew spooned on top.  Quinoa is a flowering plant in the amaranth family . It  is a type of edible seed that comes in various colors including black, red, yellow, and white.  I can't remember the occasion but what I do remember is that I didn't like the taste of  couscous. I also didn't like the taste of  Quinoa because it made me throw up.

 My favorite word from the list is the word kinetic . It is my favorite cause I use it everyday in my physical science class and I have heard it like a billion times. Like I said use the word kinetic in my science class when we're talking about the flow of motion and energy.
