Portfolio - Improvement

Over the past two years, I have improved on my writing skills. I have also improved on my vocabulary skills. Now they're a lot stronger and writing comes more easy to me. I improved by taking all the feedback in and making sure that I use it the next time I did a paper. Before high school, and now my reading skills have been the same. I've also always been a good reader so nothing has changed, I just learned a couple of new words. Before high school I didn't have a broad vocabulary even in my freshman year but ending my sophmore year my vocabulary has broadend and instead of cursing I can use other words, to describe my emotions. It feels a lot better to tell someone off, and not use one curse word. I've always been good at working in groups, I just never liked to do it. I feel like when you work in groups you have to depend on someone for your grade and sometimes people fail to do whats required then you end up with a bad grade. Before high school I've always been good in technology, I've always been advanced. In the rest of my high school years I will continuslly take feedback and learn more things so that I can make the rest of my years a lot better and easier for me

Portfolio - Future

I take my future very serious. Every descion that you make now will affect your future. It could be by the tinyiest thing or the biggest thing. I also have several goals for my future. I want to graduate high school with a 3.0 GPA so that I won't have a problem getting into the university that I choose to. I also would like to get a medical degree so that I can be an obstetrician. While I'm going to school I want to work part time at a clothing store,or something around that nature. I want to have a family with kids and be succesful. A lot of people use the fact that they're a foster kid as an excuse of why they can't achieve their goals. I believe that hard work can take you anywhere. I have been through a lot , but it has taught me to work hard for what you want in life. I know that sometimes I'm going to want to quit, because my career requires a lot of school. I need to make my study habbits stronger and buckle down. My mom is one of my biggest supporters and I know she will help me achieve my goals. I know that I will be able achieve my goals, because if I really want something I will do everything that I can to get it.

My Educational Experiences

Due to my educational experiences, I am currently not caught up with all of my credits. I am trying my hardest to get caught up and mantain a good GPA to get into the university that I choose. I could've prevented missing my two freshman year credits but instead I fooled around and was caught up in all the drama so I missed my two credits for english and math. Right now I have partical credits for my sophmore year. My credits aren't too bad, but they could've been better. Now I'm trying to get tutors especially in the classes that I know that I struggle with. I make sure that I do all my homework even when I don't feel like doing it. I try to study for up coming test as well. I feel like I'm becoming more responsible and mature as far as taking care of my school buisness. If this all works out I know that I'll be able to be succesful, go to college, and get a high paying job. I know it's a lot of hard work but it'll be well worth it at the end.

Playwrights Project Play Performance Paragraph

Today I was very impressed. Seeing all of the actors perform plays by the kids that go to my school was interesting to watch. I didn't think that the playwrights were going to be as good as they were. There are a lot of creative kids of campus. The playwrights had a lot of emotion into it, you would almost feel like you were actually in the play. Everyone did a great job on their plays. Seeing my play made me feel good, I realized my potential at writitng. I also know what I need to work on. I think that I'm going to continue writing for fun in my spare time.

Greatest High School Obstacle

My biggest high school obstacle was when I was a freshman. I was going to Serra High School, down in San Diego. I was so excited to start high school. Quickly I got caught up in a lot of the drama and I started to decline in my academics. I didn't care too much about my grades because I was caught up in the social life. When I started to want good grades it was too late, because once you start doing bad in school it's hard to get your grade back up. I wish that I would have just done good from the beginning, but now I've learned my lesson so I try my hardest in school. I try to stay clear from drama, but it doesn't always work. As of now school is my main priority.
