1st Semester reflection


To begin with I´m happy with what I´ve done so far, I was able to accomplish my goals and I´m determined to keep doing the same thing. My number one preoccupation at the beginning of the semester where my grades. I wanted to improve them, and I did! Even though I did improve my grades I could have done better. I guess I´ll have focus more on my weaknesses but not forget about my strength. I think all these comes down to my time management skills. I will have to organize myself in order to spend more time revising, exercising, studying the subjects I need more, and save time for daily homework and other assignments. Nothing comes easy, you have to work hard, to learn from your mistakes and improve until you find the perfect balance. Also an important factor to improvement is being smart and accepting help from others that have the knowledge to help you, like, teachers and friends. So remember no one is born knowing everything and the one who doesn´t ask will never know what the answer to his question is.

As I mention time management is crucial to your success in high school. little by little I´ve learned to organized myself and defer my priorities from thing that are not important. I have a pretty busy schedule, I go to school from 8:00 a.m to 3:30 p.m but I get home at 5:00 p.m because I live far away. I eat and then start doing my homework, it really depends on how much work we have. Sometime I organize myself weekly, I plan what I´ll do everyday.





My favorite module this year was the exploration of the presidential election. This particular subject catch my attention because it reminded how in some countries that I know there are so many people that do not know in off about the candidates and end up choosing one for unreliable reasons. I realized that it all comes down to the educational system. If teenagers don´t get the right education they won´t be able to make the right decisions and when these teenagers become adults they will determine the countries fate which consequently leads to a not so bright future. I learned from this that problems need to be fix from the root, first you have to find it and then fight it.




An entire semester pasted and It feels like it was yesterday that we were worried about how hard sophomore year would be. Year after year it does get harder but our maturity and sense of responsibility improves. People say that life is hard but if it wasn´t what will be the point? I personally think that challenges makes us grow as persons and that everyone must have goals, dreams, something for what they wake up everyday of their life. My father always tells me to challenge myself to set up a goals and when you accomplish them think about the a next one (never give up). Just think about it if no one though-out like that we wouldn´t have a new Iphone coming every year or even all the technology that we have. All these, we have it because humanity is always trying to improve and discover new things, otherwise we would still live in caves. Always try to be better and never stop even when you think you´ve reached perfection.
