Despite my passion to become a well-rounded filmmaker, that means nothing if I can’t get myself organized. Last year, I had a lot of trouble becoming more responsible and coming to every class. This year I have started very strong, working hard to keep up and take these classes seriously. In efforts to keep this habit, I’ve started marking things down on my planner and have found that its essential for me to do this in order to keep track of all the things I do. I have three other classes that I equally try hard in. Besides the important matter of learning to balance my time more, I’ve found it quite easy to deal with the assignments themselves, it has just been a matter of assigning myself a time to put aside to work on them. As of now my general education classes and my film classes…
Transitioning from the middle school to the high school was definitely a hard task to do. I was constantly worried about getting lost, and not being able to find my way around. When I first arrived at the high school, I was very intimidated by the size of the high school and a number of hallways and classrooms in the building. It took me multiple days to actually get used to the building and where my classrooms are located. But, now it has been a few months since transitioning the to high school, I feel like I know the high school very well and where everything is located in the school.…

I start my daily routine by waking up at six in the morning. I slowly get out of bed and stand up to stretch to help myself wake up. I then lay out my clothes for the day on my bed and walk to the bathroom to take a shower. I wash my hair, body, and face in the shower then get out and dry myself. I comb out my tangles while my hair is wet and apply product for my curly hair. I then brush my teeth while my hair air dries. After I finish brushing my teeth I return to my room to put my contacts in, put my clothes on, and get my bag ready for school.…
I have looked back in my past and thought if I could tell another teenage girl to not do what I did the I would be helping someone I had never met. This has all happened when I became a freshman in the high school. I got caught up in some drama with a guy and my parents and my grades started to slip which is the worst thing to happen your freshman year. It has truly hurt me for my sophomore year. That led to me getting kicked out of Beta Club because of an eighth of a point.Which is hurting me in every way just because I wanted to play around and be popular in high school.…
When I was fourteen years old in the ninth grade I decided to drop out of High School. I reassure myself that working was more important at the time than sitting in a classroom for eight hours. As years went by I needed to find myself a better paying job but I had one problem and that was not having an education.…
You never want to be unorganized when you are trying to balance work, school, and family demands. In order to make a schedule you can either make a list, get a planner, or you can use your own calendar. Once you have chosen your schedule; you can now write your tasks. First write down the days and hours you have to work. Secondly, write down which days and hours are best available for you to study your college courses. Finally, write down the days and hours you have time to spend with your family. A schedule is defiantly an excellent way to start balancing your…
The last time I remember something as huge as starting in high school was having to move to Oregon from Alaska, but for better or for worse, here I am, attempting to make my mark on this big blue Earth. However, Highschool was never always just peaches, cream, rainbows and unicorns. If I’m to be one hundred percent honest here, I was legitimately terrified of it, whether it be the totally reasonable fear of being stuffed into a locker by a bully or getting lost in a labyrinth of corridors and passages of infinite classes and broom closets. But those fears never truly emerged up until the final days of freedom that remained from my graduation of 8th grade. As the days drew nearer, so did my fear reaching the brim of a breakdown. I was scared,…

“Don’t give up; don’t ever give up,”, are the words of the great college basketball coach Jimmy V. He said this in his speech during the ESPY awards just a few years before he died of cancer. This quote was, and still is, very inspirational to me. From that day on, I used the quote as inspiration to do my best in everything I do. It helped me become a better student once I heard it. Before that I would not complete my work, and I just didn’t care about the grades I was getting. However, after that, it changed me into a different student. This short quote can change a person’s life if he just take it to heart. If a person wants to become a good student I would suggest that he listen to this whole speech. The words in the speech can help a person become a better person in life, but more importantly, it can make the younger people become better students. To enable oneself to become this good student, one must also be responsible, have a good attitude and participate.…
