High School and Selecting Main Ideas
My 3 highest scores are: Information Processing (85), Study Aids (95), and Time Management (60).The 3 areas I scored the lowest on are: Attitude (5), Motivation (5), and Selecting Main Ideas (20).
I'm going to work more on my attitude, because it's important to me that I graduate and get the degree in the career that I want to purse, so that I can prove to all the people who told me that I wouldn't be nothing, or had doubt in me, because my parents didn’t finish High School, nor graduated. Motivation is probably one of the hardest one for me, because I’m a huge procrastinator, especially when it comes to math, which is the subject I dislike the most. I think if I’m motivated to do the math I will get better grades. I think it’s going to happen because Mr.Norrgran makes it interesting, he tends to joke around to wake us up if we’re not participating, or shows us little tricks so we can get the problem better.
On Selecting Main Ideas, the reason why I got a 5 is because when writing notes down, I tend to write everything, even though it’s not needed. The reason why I do that is because to me, if I don’t write everything down, I always have this voice in the back of my head, “What if that word, sentence, vocabulary is in the test” something like that, so I feel better if I just write it ALL down, just in case it’s use full. I think it’s an OCD habit.
At the end of the fall semester, I hope to have my attitude at 100, motivation 100, and main ideas 100, because I know that will make me a better student on achieving my goals, to prove to not only those who would shut me down, but to prove to

    Lastly i'm going to have a positive attitude in everything I do and try things that seem impossible. For example, when I first learned how to ride a bike it seemed impossible at first and if I gave up at the first try, it would be, but by having persistent and keep trying I started to get the hang of it. I practiced and worked on it a bit at a time and eventually it started to get easier for me. I learn from your mistakes and the more I worked the easier it got. I'm going to apply this to this year's English class because by having a positive attitude and keep on trying, I can receive the goal I want.…

    I find the scores very surprising. According to "Mind Tools" (n.d.), “You're on your way to becoming an excellent manager. You're doing some things well, and these are likely the things you feel comfortable. Now it's time to work on the skills that you've been avoiding. Focus on the areas where your score is little, and figure out what you can do to make the improvements you need.” The "Mind Tools" (n.d.) website, I scored low on Problem Solving and Decision making. I got and 8 of 10, stating that I not comfortable in this area. I will take this information and work on building my Problem-solving and Decision making skills. However, I did score high motivating people. I believe people confidence and improve their job…

    I had some challenges in the first semester. I realized that it gets harder every year. I felt like ninth grade was a bit easier than this year. The final for English was easy. There were only two questions. We took a final for the novel, To Kill A Mockingbird. My goal is to have good grades, but also pass every class so that I don’t have to retake any. I want to be able to graduate on time. It always gets hard when almost end of the semester. That is the time when teachers start to give out more work. It’s a good idea but the same time bad. It can help bring grades up for some people. Most people are lazy so they rather not do it and fail the semester. My challenge was trying to focus with so many distractions in the way.…

    I am looking forward to describing my most memorable high school and college experiences. I would really love for my teachers to appreciate me for all the hard work I’ve done. For those people that didn’t know about my ambition and what it really meant to sacrifice, it meant a lot to my family.

    I don’t if the numbers have any significant being so close to one another or just a coincident to happen that way, it would be interesting to see what the other students’ scores are.
