As I Sit and Think...
I am very pleased with how the first marking period has gone. I do not think it is easy but I do not think it was difficult either. I find it challenging but not too challenging. I enjoyed doing this blog project and I'm very excited for the projects throughout the year. I really like the class I'm in for English; I think we have a really solid group that is comfortable sharing with the rest of the class. I feel like I'm already becoming a better writer and I only hope to keep getting better as the year progresses. I enjoy the discussions we have in class. The books have not been so bad yet. I'm proud of how I've been doing this year because I normally get Bs or Cs in English class so having an A is an accomplishment. My goal for the second marking period is to maintain my A and keep working hard. It might be a bit of a challenge because my sport will be starting soon and it can be hard trying to balance school and sports. I just have to stay focused and not give up. I believe hard work beats talent when talent won't work hard.

I agree with the last statement you made. I would also rather be hardworking and recieve average grades than be naturally intelligent and ease my way through school only to fail in college. I know that track and schoolwork is a lot to handle at one time. I am having the same trouble managing Cross Country and homework. Hang in there; you will get an A second marking period.
ReplyDeleteImpressive blog Ebony!! I liked how you said that it was challenging as well as good. I feel that most people only said that it was fun and easy, but I thought it was good that you noted that you challenged yourself this first marking period. I am a little upset that you didn't mention the members of your English table that made this the most amazing first marking period of your life. But otherwise you did a fantastic job with this blog!
ReplyDeleteI agree with being pleased with this class. I congratulate you on getting an A in this class. I encourage you to maintain your A and keep working hard. We both are looking forward to the remainder of the year in this class. I just hope nothing changes between now and the last day as my fellow classmate I wish you the best
ReplyDeleteI am proud of your achievements in this class Ebony, always keep a positive attitude and you will always do well in any class. I agree it was not as hard as I thought, this class and Mr. Mogg has been very generous this marking period, I hope for the same next marking period.
