My grade in this class last semester was a C and it wasn’t sufficient. If I had done my work correctly, on time, and complete I know I could’ve got a better grade. Doing a sport is what made my semester difficult, I didn’t use my time wisely and have a schedule set for school and playing a sport. I could’ve stayed after school or stayed in from lunch to help me catch up on my work, but instead I decided to go out to lunch and spend time with my friends. If i truly wanted a better grade and GPA i would’ve shown how much i wanted it by giving more effort. This semester, I would like to start over new so I can try harder to attain a better GPA and a good grade in this class. I do plan on trying out for a softball this semester and if I do make it on the team I …show more content…
Hannah. Asking around my peer group helped little, but asking Mr. Hannah and staying after school would’ve been the best option. When in a class, we can’t always ask all the questions we have about our assignment because we’re confused since there’s more students that also need help. Therefore, staying after school or during lunch to ask those questions with the teacher can certainly help. Even if staying in a class or the library, just to complete the homework because we know we’ll get distracted at home or even just to complete it to get it out of the way to have more time to complete other assignments. I regret not doing staying in class after school to ask This semester I plan on giving my best effort, turn my work in complete and on time, find a way that is fitting for me to help study for tests, and not slack off. My winter break was great. Sleeping in was always the best, but also my two favorite things I enjoyed the most during the break was going to 3 Rivers and spending time with my family. Things that i didn’t enjoy about break was when it was over and having too much time throughout the
Owen, I am very concerned about your progress. You have been honest with me and said that you are not keeping your class well organized as they should be. Missing classes and assignments will case a serious impact on your final grades. You need to catch up with all your classes and reading during this weekend. Let me know if you need any additional support to get you in good shape on your classes again.
My freshman year of high school was difficult for me to adjust to and I did not perform to the best of my ability on my biology honors midterm. Due to this discrepancy, I was unable to be accepted into the Science Honor Society in junior year. Although disappointed that a singular grade had the ability to decide a part of my future two years later, I continued to work hard, especially in my science courses. Junior year, I decided to challenge myself and take an AP Physics course, even though I had never taken a physics course prior. This class was excruciatingly demanding and a new experience for someone who had never taken an AP class before.
When assignments and test/quiz material became available, I always kept note of the work and began preparing my study material and practiced. Once finished with the assignment, I would go back several times and reread it and compare it to the grading rubric. This presents my personal perfectionism and concern to the task at hand. (warrant) My biggest downfall this semester would be my lack of vocal participation within the classroom.
Of course I am not trying to make up excuses on why I did so poorly, throughout this semester I have been dealing with my own internal problems and also illnesses. I have been dealing with family problems such as, potential divorces and differences in the family that have been arising
This is something I need to learn how to do. I am a procrastinator. Trying to tackle a 50point assignment overnight is the key to failure. When I divide my workload into pieces that when I get the best results. 4.2 I would say the student is primarily responsible because she shouldn’t have wait until last minutes.
While I was thoroughly committed to the extracurricular activities, I have decided that my academic career was the best way to focus my abilities in order to reach my goal. Doing well in all of my IB classes has been my number one priority. With education being my number one priority, I strive to maintain a high grade point average. At the beginning of the junior year, I struggled with finding a manageable balance between all my activities. My GPA dropped due to my struggles in the beginning of the year.
I wasn’t able to master the materials in the beginning, and it hurt me throughout the rest of the semester. I tried to recover by staying on top of homework, visiting the BLC and my TA’s office hours, and studying even more for exams. In the end, the hard work didn’t pay off, for I still received a D in the class. Although I passed, I am still disappointed in the grade I received and my experience in the class as a whole.
As each writing assignments is graded, I realize how much I have improved as a writer by the grade and the fewer mistakes that I have made in them. As each time the grammatical and spelling mistakes are fewer on each paper. I want to share how I have grown as a writer on second semester by being in class and reflecting on my previous assignments. Even though there weren’t many writing assignments this semester. There were some assignments that I have done poorly on.
In my life, I have not faced many obstacles. I have not been disowned from my family, like Luma, or experienced war and famine, like the Fugees. I have one obstacle, that could be a considered an obstacle, and it is a mental one. When I was a child and now, I have always had the idea in my head that anything less than an A is bad. Anything less than an A would make me sad, make me burst into tears, be really anxious, or stressed.
I didn’t know how to get myself out of the predicament I was in and I shut down. I knew I had to do well considering the class would show up on my high school transcript.
Previously attending a private junior high, I came into public high school determined to proudly represent my school as a top-ranked student and a varsity basketball player. That year, I took the maximum number of honors classes, made straight A’s, and spent hours in the gym, with the freshman team and individually, improving my basketball skills. Despite my dedication and diligence, at the end of the year, I was ranked only 75th in my class, well below my goal of valedictorian; what brought my GPA down were the sports. The shock of discovering my class rank urged me to alter my high school plan: I would sacrifice sports for a year to boost my GPA. Although I eventually earned my class rank of 2nd, losing a year of school basketball put me at an overwhelming disadvantage, and I was never given another chance to prove myself on the court.
I have reach the end of the semester. It has been a long journey but it has come to an end. According to the grades I have earned in that class. I am not satisfied with my fifty-four percent as my overall grade because I know I am a better student than that and I could do way more than that.
I was upset at first about not getting accepted into the program that I’ve desired and worked so hard to maintain the sufficient GPA requirement for. I thought maybe I should give it some time and keep applying. Instead I took classes that interested me such as Biology, and Chemistry
There was no doubt in my mind that I tried my hardest in the classes; I just did not have as much faith in myself when it came to the test day. In AP U.S. History, I did my homework religiously every weekend on Sunday afternoons by delving into each chapter as much as possible and enjoying what I was reading. For AP Language and Composition by creating a word wall in my room in order to improve my vocabulary. All the weekends spent doing homework and more for these classes paid off in a way I never would have imagined. I finally was able to believe my hard work towards achieving a goal could actually be rewarded.
