Over the past two years, I have changed a bit. I say this because I remember when I was in middle school I was a real immature and could care less about how I was doing. I would come to my classes late and when It was time to do work me and my friends would just pretend to be doing something and just talk. We were young and realized we had nothinig to worry about, our teachers had to pass us no matter what.
My writing skills before high school was good. I may have moved a lot but English was always my favorite subject. I loved writing essays and writing assignments. I have improved in my reading and writing skills since then. To me reading books is like one of the best ways of learning better English and writing skills. I enjoy it.
My speaking skills before high school have always been okay. Iv'e always been the kind of person who talks a lot with friends and social people but when getting in front of class and having to give a speech or presenting a project, well that's something Iv'e always had problems with. Still to this day I'm having those same problems. When I talk people understand me and grasp what I'm saying so it's not like I just talk jiberish. I want to be a good speaking person who can go out there in life and know what to say in front of an audience and not forget everything I have just written down. I'm still working on this speaking skill though.
My group working skills before high school have been good. When there was an assignment or project that had to be done, me and a group of people would get together and work on it. Going to the library was always the best place to go because it was just so peaceful and we had a lot of consentraion. However, now I'm not so sure. I still really do like working in groups and everything but people don't always help out. Sometimes they expect the work to be done and then they will get a good easy A. That's not things go down with me though. If you want an A, you better earn it. I still do get assingments with assigned partners and try to get everyone involved because it's more fair and more fulfilling.
My technology skills before high school was okay. Of course I did need to know how to use a computer and cell phone if I did want to go onto Myspace. It was manditory. I mean I did know the basics, like I knew about powerpoints, opening Word, searching websites, finding pictures and getting important information off of the computer. I love technology, I don't know who wouldn't. My technology skills are some what better. I still most deffinantley have trouble with the computers though. I'm not sure why but it seems like when I have something I need to do on these things, it's like for some reason I don't understand whats happening. It is funny and sad in a way. I am trying to get better with my technology these days by having an all technology class this year. I'm pretty sure if I did not have Ms. Preisters class I would not have learned all these new neat interesting things. I'm going to continue with what I have learned and with what I still should learn. It most likely will come very handie in life.
Now that I have finally found a stable place where I can relax and focus more on school work I know that I can do even better academically. All I have to do is stay positive and stay really focused on what I need to get done. It is very easy to just give up and say "who cares". That is an option, but why would I do and say that when I know I can accomplish anything I set my mind to. I have quit a lot in my life that I have just feel so mad at myself sometimes so don't intend on doing it again. I'm going to push forward and continue to do my work and make the best out of all the oppertunitys they give you here at Spa. I'm looking forward to graduating my senior year.2014.
