4th quarter goals

Good morning,
   It is hard to believe that we only have 9 weeks of school left, and even less than that because of Spring Break, days off, and exams. Wow! My freshman year has been very successful academically so far. I haven't made a C this year or even come close to one. I also have been very organized and done 98% of my homework-sometimes I forget. I have checked my email almost everyday like the teachers have warned us to do, and I also study ahead of time for test (learned that the hard way in first quarter). Even though I have accomplished all of those things above, there is always room to get a higher GPA, turn in all homework assignments, or even to make 100% on pop quizzes because I did the homework from the night before. That is why I am setting goals for this quarter, to improve in each class in some way.
   I want to set my goals high enough to where I know I can reach them if I give it my all. I don't want to set a goal that is over my head, like 100% in each class, and I don't want a goal to much under my limit, like no C's and D's because that is easy for me and has already happened. One of my wishes that has stuck with me throughout each quarter is to get straight A's, it hasn't happened yet but if I push myself hard enough I think I would get it. I ended 3rd quarter with all A's and 1 B, in World History, and it was .8 off from being an A. Things like that make me so angry because I look back and think, "only if I turned in that assignment on time I wouldn't have lost 2 points and maybe got an A, then all A's could be checked off my list". But no, I received my B because of my actions in the class. Another goal I set at the beginning of the year but have yet to accomplish is to make a 100% on a SNAVOD entry in Latin. If you don't take Latin this will not make sense to you. In Latin we complete these daily entries every night for homework and at the beginning of the class each day, Mrs. Landry will put the correct answer on the board. I have yet to make a 100% and I don't know why because she is basically giving us the answers everyday. So Mrs. Landry picks up the SNAVOD's after every couple entries and gives us a grade on them based on how much is correct. I have gotten 99.5%, 98.75%, and 99.75%, all were so close but no 100%'s. That was only two of my goals for this quarter, but I feel if I tell you all of them you will get board and it would be more than a 2 paragraph blog.

Strive for excellence this quarter so you are able to start the sophomore year off right!
