Throughout my year so far I've grown as a student and more importantly, a person. I've also come across weaknesses that have not been weaknesses before. Over the years I have used good leadership skills and social skills, but this year, my social personality changed. I Changed in a way that was so beneficial for others, and maybe not myself. Yet I still find happiness. I have put others on my own, I have cared about others and helped others. Peers would come find me when they were in distress. I would help them and that made me feel good, but I would be focusing so much on them and not so much on myself and my personal problems. Because of all the good, I did for others they made a book for me, titled “Sunset Boy”. This book was full of amazing letters and stories that most of my friends wrote and drew in. This gave me worth. With everything I have been through, all the drama I have come across, fought, and overcame, this made it all mean something. This grew my love for my friends and that love with never die.
This year my resilience and perseverance grew. This was the year where nothing could stop me from finishing an assignment. When something horrific brought me down, I always got back up. In my Math cover letter, I explain that this has been the year where math has not been my weakest subject and I am passionate about the things I have learned in math this year. In my Personal Journey, I'm not afraid to spill the truth and explain what has brought me down and what brought me back up. In past years I would not try this hard to succeed, but this was the year that changed all that.
My Advocacy and Productive mindset have been the best it's been in years. I have completed homework, I have put time, effort, and passion into assignments, Especially with math. With My most recent Math test, I showed how much I studied and worked hard on that subject. My POW shows that I worked hard and thought a lot about how to reach a conclusion. Even in my grades. They may not be A’s there are some grades that are surprising to me. The A in Math, the B in Biology. If I took Biology last year I probably would not have passed the class. I have been able to figure things out on my own with little help from peers and mentors. Even with all of my school work I have done some personal work outside of school. I am passionate about film, making it, writing it, so in my spare time, I have written full scripts or films I would like to one day create.
Even though I have been productive in my work, Time Management has been kind of a weak spot for me this year. Sometimes we may not be given the appropriate amount of time on an assignment, or I have not started it till a couple days later, or maybe I have been so eager to try different things that I just get derailed. I have been able to advocate for more time on some pieces of work, but I feel like I shouldn't need to. One big piece that shows this is my Calavera piece for Spanish. I had to turn it in a couple days after its initial due date. Because of this, it was rushed at some parts and I didn't have time to make it stand out. I am fully prepared to focus on this next semester and I feel like it can improve.
Because of my time management has not been used effectively my refinement skills have lowered a little bit. I have not had any problem with refinement in the past, but with a lot of assignments at once, maybe I haven't really fully adjusted to having so many at once. In my journalism article, I wish that I would have put more time into refining the grammar and putting some more journalistic language in there. However, now that I have been able to take a break from a lot of work I am ready to start fresh being prepared to tackle multiple assignments at once and refine them all the same. My question, with everything that I have learned so far about our nation, our world, especially in Humanities. Do our high schoolers have the ability to one day, fix and change the world for the better?
