Improvement

Over the past two years I feel that I have significantly gotten better in every aspect of my education. My writing was very non detailed and it lacked a great deal of complexity. My reading has always been proficient. Since the 4th grade I have read at a 12th grade reading level. My use of English has always been at the top of its game. I have never had a problem with my vocabulary or slurring. My group-work skills were not very good coming into high school but I must say that I have gotten much better in participating and choosing hard working partners that are on the same level pace that I am. I never used technology before entering high school but now I am extremely experienced with it. For my last two years of high school I plan to work hard, learn the material being taught to me, and never fail a class again.

Greatest High School Achievement

My greatest high school achievement was achieved at the end of the fourth quarter of my Freshman year. I knew I was ahead of all my work for the first half of the quarter and I was pretty consistent all the way throughout the end. I wasn't quite sure if I did as good as I thought. It was Friday, which meant that we would be getting grades and I was super anxious to find out what my overall GPA was for the quarter. So I went straight home after school, ripped open my report card, and found a 3.56 GPA waiting for me inside! I never felt more proud of myself than that moment! It made me realize that if I'm not lazy I can earn high GPA's every time I tried. A 3.5 GPA by far has been my greatest high school achievement. So far!

Greatest High School Obstacle

This year I decided early on that I did not want to take summer school so in order for me to do that I would need to pass all my classes with a C or higher. I got a D in biology first quarter but I found out Ms. Davis is not teaching biology in the summer. So from that point on I knew I couldn't get a D at all for the rest of the year. So I got my act together and always made sure that I didn't fall behind so I wouldn't have to stress to much near the grading period. But now I get to go to Idaho for a month and a half so I am super excited. This has been my biggest obstacle, so far.

CST Testing Reflection

This week we had to take three tests for the subjects of Math, English, and History. It was the longest testing period I have ever had in my life. I hate testing because it requires so much time and consistent focus. It is hard for me to have to do this once, and we had to do this three times! My mind is exhausted from all I have had to do. If I had to take another one tomorrow I think I would be dead already (Just Kidding). I think I did alright on the tests though. Except for the history one because I guessed on the whole second section because I didn't know any of it. This is how my testing went for me.

Third Quarter Awards Review

Last friday was an award assembly for students who did well in their academics and citizenship and a few more awards were also given for studen employees. It gave certificates to those students who achieved over a 3.0 GPA ranging to a 4.0. I am proud of my fellow classmate, Joseph Bakhit, for receiving a 4.0. The award assembly is always good to recognize who achieved and worked hard for the quarter. Congratulations to those who achieved. Hopefully this quarter I can get on the right track and start doing better also.

Fourth Quarter Kickoff Reflection

I think that the fourth quarter kickoff was very fun because my team won every challenge (Of Course). My team was superbly dominant and could not be beaten. The funny thing is the only team we didn't compete against went undefeated too, but that wouldn't of been the case if we played them. It was a great idea on behalf of the school staff and teachers because it brought the campus closer together.

Fourth Quarter Goals

My greatest achieved goal last quarter was that I did not have any D's or F's (Unless Ms. Priester decides to give me a D). I worked hard not to get any D's or F's so I don't have to take summer school this year. All I had to do was consistently do my homework but I did kind of get messed up the 3 days I was suspended. My goal for this quarter is to earn a 3.5 GPA. The way to achieve that is by staying out of trouble and staying on task for all my assignments.

What I Learned in the Third Quarter of English 10

This quarter I learned how symbolism is not only what is visualized but a meaning deeper than that. We were taught how allegory is used in poetry. Not only did we learn about these topics but we also learned about how figurative language is used. We learned that primary sources are words directly from the person and secondary sources are information about someone written by someone else. This is everything that I learned in the third quarter of English 10.

What It Takes To Be A Sophemore

What it takes for me to be a sophomore is a high level of maturity. Without being mature you willl not fit in the classes and not reach your full potential because of all the distractions. When you mature you learn when to play and when to be serious in order to complete the given assignments and stay on task at the same time.

Third Quarter Goals Reflection

One of my goals for third quarter was to achieve a 3.5 GPA. As of right now I am on the path of getting around a 3.8 GPA which is achieving higher than what I was aiming for. Another goal of mine was to play basketball. I am currently playing basketball and not only am I on the time but I am a starter which I never would of expected. These past couple months have been very great for me and I have had opportunities come to me that I never thought I would have a chance of obtaining. But thanks for some luck, which in my definition is when hard work meets opportunity, I am able to have a happy and fun couple of months as of late.

What I Learned in Second Quarter English 10

I have learned many things in my English class with Ms. Priester this year. I learned how to use irony and the I now fully understand the full meaning of it. I also learned how to use technology towards my advantage. We learned how to find websites that help us understand the meanings to words and bookmark them in another website for our future reference we need a definition to another word from the same website. I love coming into Ms. Priester's classroom because it makes me feel so much smarter because she talks to us as if we are matured adults. Class is very interesting and I'm constantly learning whether its about Technology and Engligh. It is cool how we can learn from both in one class.
