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.
