Last Semester was the first semester of 4 high school years. Academically, I think that in the first quarter, I tried pretty hard to make A's and B's. I think it's common for everyone that they do their best the first quarter of the year and they make better grades than the other quarters. Although, people may make better grades in the 1st quarter because the material is probably easier than the rest of the year. 2nd quarter, I had to try harder and study more, and I can't say I didn't slack off a little. I could have done better with being more prepared in tests. All together, I think the 1st semester was pretty successful and I am happy with my grades.
This semester, I hope to prepare myself better with tests and quizzes and make sure that I do all of my homework. I want to get more help from my teachers because that is something that I don't do often. In my past years, 3rd quarter is where my grades were the lowest from the other quarters. I don't want to keep that up, so I am going to try hard this semester. I really hope that I can achieve my goal of all A's and B's for the whole year, get help from my teachers, and be more prepared for tests in this semester.
Elise, I like how you identify a goal and the strategies you will pursue to make it happen. It's also great that you are identifying a pattern that you've noticed in previous years and preparing to change it. Why do you think your grades have been the lowest 3rd quarter in past years?
ReplyDeleteI think my grades are the lowest during 3rd quarter because 1st semester I always try to do well for a nice start academically. Then, 3rd quarter I get tired of school sometimes and I get a little stressed out. 4th quarter I strive a little harder than 3rd because I know school is almost over. It also may be because the material is harder as well.
