Why I Want To Be A Sophomore

I want to hold the position for Miss Freshman because I know that I’d be a great representative. Everyone is equal so I cannot say that I will be better than anyone, but I can certainly say that I will do my best. I am capable of taking on the challenges that lie ahead if I am voted for this position. I know if I were Miss Freshman of the class of 2020 I could make a couple of major changes in the students. I am a good leader, I’m very dependable, and I know how to set good examples. I am also a very reliable person and any task that I receive will be one of my main priorities. I am an approachable person and an awesome communicator and listener. My best effort will absolutely be put into this job. I am a very well organized and neat person. I am also an assertive person and I am without a doubt going to

For the most part, I like to write. I surprise myself sometimes when I read what I have written. Essays don’t seem to be that hard for me and most of the time comes naturally to write. Ever since I was younger, reading and writing were always my strong points in school. Math and science didn’t stand

The goal that I have set for myself is to graduate high school on time with a 4.0, this goal will be difficult to achieve, but it will keep me focused throughout high school. This may be a huge challenge because I have

Seeing as I am a freshman, I can only discuss my expectations and notions for the coming year. Currently, my emotions swing on a pendulum between anxiety and eagerness, but I am pleased to admit the latter outweighs the former. I am enthused to live on my own, nervous about making friends, and expect collegiate academia to challenge me exceptionally more than high school, which I understand and fully accept.

My strengths as a writer would have to be my wide and varied lexicon that I can draw upon as needed to assist my writing to make it seem far less bland than it actually is. I would also consider my ability to create convincing arguments one of my better writing traits. However, both of those are hobbled by my inability to clearly express my ideas in a cognizant manner. I struggle to put my ideas from my thoughts onto paper in a way that most people can make sense of, which has led me to be a "bad" writer for the majority of my life. My other weakness is something that ties into inability to clearly express myself, and that's my use of punctuation. I'm keenly aware that it tends to be atrocious, which baffles me because I consider myself to be a good editor. I feel this stems from the fact that my brain plugs in or omits certain information when I read my own papers so that it seems

I believe my greatest weakness as a writer is that I am not very good at grammar and punctuation. When I was in high school, during my sophomore year my English teacher was not very good. She did a lot of punctuation and grammar lesions with us but most of the time she contradicted herself making things way more confusing than they really were. After that class I have

Sophomore year is going to get tougher as you go on, but there will be many room to have fun, like the assemblies. Dont give in to video games, like last year. I will not play League of Legends or any other games until I finish my homework and studies. My days of being a procrastinator master is over. Remember back when you stayed up till 3:00 studying or doing a project at the last minute. Doing everything the day they are assigned makes your life more stress free. I wouldn’t be tired and have a mood swing while doing my homework, and then sleep for a few hours, and waking up feeling like poo.

The weaknesses I see in my writing are my sentence fluency and conventions. When I am writing an essay, it is difficult for me to have correct grammar and no run-on sentences.

Some examples of these goals are, doing well in all of my classes, getting a job, or joining clubs. Although these ideas are useful to work towards, they fail to meet the SMART criteria. This criteria, explored by Locke (2004) and extensively used in business and academic settings, allows one to create suitable goals for themselves. A SMART goal should be “Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, and Time Based.” My working goal, created after self evaluation and assessment, is Achieving and maintaining a 3.3 GPA for the winter 2016 semester. This goal satisfies all SMART criteria, and is of an adequate level of challenge. In order to meet my goal for the end of the Winter semester, I have defined some specific task and actions needed to be taken. First, since this goal is academic, I must clearly define study habits and routines. Rather than simply reading text or taking notes, I will assign specific times for study. It is suggested that for every hour of in-class instructional time, two to three hours of work should be done out of class. I determined that I am in class for 14 hours and 30 minutes per week. This means I should assign at least 29 hours of time outside of lecture periods for study, research, and assignments. To meet these requirements, I can assign specific hours for each day as study time. In order to combat procrastination, I will apply methods that allow me to get a head-start on my work, and ensure I have a balanced work load around due dates. In order to keep up with my progress, in my case, GPA, I will use blackboard, and keep up to date with my professors. To successfully reach my goal by the end of the semester, I will also take advantage of various support tools and

I would have to say writing and public speaking are two of my least favorite things. When I say public speaking, I mean more than myself in the room. If I am writing, I at least have time to revise my statements if I come off too harsh. My greatest strengths in writing would be that I have a very diverse background of life experience to draw from. While I really dislike writing, if I find something I am very passionate about I may make a comment on a blog or put my “two cents” in while watching a chat room. However, It would be uncommon for me to do either of those things frequently. If I had to choose a job in the writing field. I would write technical manuals or help me guides. I think technical writing is my greatest writing strength. There

Sophomore year was one of great pain to me. Typically, I was a by-the-books student, who followed every regulation and did everything expected of me. I never missed a homework assignment, rarely ever performed sub-par under any course-load, and overall a

One of my goals this year is to maintain an average of 90% or above. This can be achieved if I devote a portion of my time to study and review my notes every day, even if there is no test or exam for that subject in the near future. I will also complete my homework as soon as it is assigned, because that way, I am not in a rush to complete it so I can take my time to fully understand the questions and concepts. To me, my academics are important, so maintaining a high average is an indicator that I’m doing well in the designated subjects. This is beneficial because having good grades will allow me to have more choices for post-secondary education.

To start off, in this last quarter of the school year, I want to accomplish the three goals I want to accomplish for the final quarter. My first goal I want to accomplish is getting A’s and A+’s in Math, Science, and Commarts class. Also I want to accomplish this goal because I struggle when it comes to handing it homework to get the grades I am hoping for the final quarter. Although when it is time for her too put my grades in the grade book it is a C, D, of F. I will have to accomplish doing my homework with my mom and in team study with Mr.Morgan so I get A’s and A+'s for my grades. To add on, my second goal I want to accomplish is turning in my homework right away not at the last minute. I want to accomplish this goal because, I struggle

My greatest weakness is writing essays. Especially revising my essays I had to teach myself to think critically. My other weakness was grammar, and fragments. I have noticed the majority of my sentences were fragments. I had to teach myself to slow down. Time management was the key to slow down. It takes a little longer to write an essay with brainstorming and outline. The results were better results for each paragraph and sub lines of each paragraph would consist of such as sources. I have learned to transition sentences, and allowing all my sentences in my

Students can avoid procrastination by following the S.M.A.R.T. goal guidelines. All of your goals should be specific (s), measurable (m), achievable (a), realistic (r), and time-sensitive (t). A specific goal is clear, focused, concise, and well-defined (“Ensure Your Success”). Instead of a general goal like “I want to get my degree,” turn that into something more specific like “I am going to get my Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration from George Mason University” (“Ensure Your Success”). To make goals measurable, establish timelines and dates so you can measure your progress and stay on track to meet targets. Goals need to be achievable. Evaluate your own work ethic, see what you’re willing to do, and shape your goal around that so you know it is something you’re capable of doing. A goal needs to be realistic, something that you are
