Being a SENIOR who cant wait to graduate soon, I have set out several goals for myself this year. I plan to follow those goals and strive to achieve them to the best of my ability. Not all the goals are ones that are too hard to reach, they are mostly rules that I have put for myself.
First and foremost, my main goal for the year is to Boost my GPA. Every other 'rule' is a way to reach that.
This year, I plan on completing all my assignments on time. That could be a weakness for me at times, because I wouldn't take every assignment as seriously as I probably should. The way I plan to do that is to divide the work up into sections for separate days, in which I won't get bored of all the different projects and assignments given to us by our teachers.
Another thing I plan on doing is to separate "business" being the school work, from pleasure. At many times, I tend to find myself very distracted when it's time for me to be working on school assignments. The lyrics of the songs would be memorized instead of the vocabulary words, or the names of Grey's Anatomy characters would go into my writing instead of the novel. I have set out a clear schedule for myself, which I will hopefully follow, which allows me to complete my work, but have a few breaks in between in which I could use whichever form of entertainment I please.
Now if I was to get into detail about which areas I would want to improve in school subjects, I would have to say that I would like to -
- Develop my writing skills.
- Develop my vocabulary.
- Learn how to approach mathematical problems effectively.
Ways in which I plan to achiever those goals would be to read more books and novels, proof-read my work, use resources such as dictionaries and thesaurus', and practice writing at home; such as stories, or keep a dream journal. As for the math, I bought several books which would hopefully help me get through.
Aside from those goals, I would like to take my SAT's at least twice before I graduate.
*PS, I am aware that the goals were supposed to be only relevant to English class, but I kept going.
