Reflection of Marking Period 1

Over this entire marking period I feel I did not do anything very well. I really let the ball drop and I am regretting it deeply. I have no excuses and I just have to change my attitude towards work. I was in a rough place for a little while but I still should have kept up with what was important. I cannot think of a very good strategy that I had this marking period. I suppose the idea of just keep moving and don’t completely give up would count. If I had to choose anything I did well it would be that. For what I could have done differently, I feel I could have done everything differently. I could have done all my work and I could have gotten it done on time. I just am truly ashamed of how this marking period went. I feel next marking period I’m going to strap up and get my work done. That is what I have to do if I want to get into a good college. Overall I have to realize what really is important and I cannot let anything get in the way of that. I want to have a successful future and not live like I am now. The goals that I am making for marking period two are, for English get and A and do all the work that is asked of me and not only to just do it but do it very well. For school overall, I would say get on top of my college apps, get an A in all of my classes, do all of my work, and try to bring my GPA close to a 3.0 again. As for my other I plan on changing my way of thinking and just become the best person I can be, mostly for my girlfriend. The way I plan on achieving these goals, mostly the school related ones, would be to do my work. It is just that simple that I have to do my work. From that I would be able to do better on tests, even though I can do fine without doing work now, I could do better if I did all my work. Not to mention the fact that my grade doesn’t only count with tests, the work gives me points as well. For the college app process, I just have to keep reminding myself of what I want, that is to get into college to have a successful life and to get out of my house. The way I can do that is set up a guidance appointment every two weeks or so and just keep on myself until I get accepted into college. To bring my GPA close to a 3.0 I will do all my work, which should ring my grades up and keep my grades up. From that I can get all A’s and then from that I can get my GPA closer to a 3.0 and from that I can get a better look from a college so in reality all I really have to do is my work in school. If I can do that I can then stop worrying about that so much and focus on changing my way of thinking and focus on my girlfriend which is all that really matters besides college. Overall I have realized that senioritis is a real thing and I cannot afford to have it. I have to grow up and stop fooling around and get my work done.

Preveiw to a Book: The Great Gatsby

The Front Cover

The book is called The Great Gatsby and it was written by F. Scott Fitgerald. It doesn't seem to have won any awards. It seems like an interesting book from the cover possibly about the city.
Two questions I have are, is it set in a city and what are those eyes for?

The Back Cover

The story is about Jay Gatsby and a women named Daisy Buchanan. It is set in the 1920's which was a time period for a lot of parties and and wild things. Apparently it is set to be about lavish parties revolving around sex and drinking.

Inside The Book

It was dedicated to Zelda and is copyrighted in the early 1920's. Chapter titles go by numbers like chapter 1, chapter 2, etc. The writing style is very normal in my opinion it does not seem like he does anything that would set him apart from other authors.

Overall Impression

My overall impression of the book it that it seems fairly interesting. It is set during an interesting time period when the world was changing. The characters seem interesting and just overall it seems like a book I can enjoy readin.

Greatness

Greatness is something that is archived through doing something to impress other people whether it be something to help people like Martin Luther King Jr. did, or something daring to entertain people like the stunts performed by Evil Knievel to bring entertainment to people. Greatness is a standard archived through someone else determining it.

What Represnts Me

I would say that my guitar is what represents me the most. It represents my love for music and my passion for it as well. It also represents my goals for the future such as becoming a composer or rather just having a job in the music industry at all. My guitar also represents music as being my life basically. Without music I would be very lost in the world. Music is everything for me.

Who am I?

I am a musician, not a very talented one but a musician nonetheless. I have hopes of becoming a composer. I just want to channel my feelings into my music for everyone else to hear. I do not want money or fame. I just want people to appreciate my music. Seeing as I am not as sane as other people I tend to put my lack of sanity into my music. It helps me to push myself and become the most original person I can be.
