My Five Point Action Plan

To be honest, I haven’t quite thoroughly thought out what my goals will be for this upcoming school year, but I do have a rough idea of what I would like to achieve. My first goal is to maintain at least an 85% or above in each class. To do this, I will study each night even if I think I know everything. I will also turn in any homework or projects in time. Another one of my goals is to make new friends. I’m not saying my current friends aren't good enough, I just think that it’s a smart idea to talk to new people since you are starting high school. My third goal is to make sure no one is ever left out. When I say this, I mean that no one is sitting alone at lunch or doesn't have anyone to talk to.  If I see someone sitting alone, I’ll ask them if they want to sit over with me and my group of friends. If someone asks to sit with me at lunch, then obviously I would say yes. Another thing I’ll have to do in order to succeed in high school is to take good notes. I’ll need to focus on what the teacher is saying while writing down the important things that will help me study for the quizzes or tests. The last goal that I have for this year is to stay organized. In order to do this, I will check my teachers’ webpages daily for any upcoming due dates. I will also not wait until the last minute to do any projects. Instead, I will work on them little by little until everything is completed. Hopefully, when I look back at this list at the end of the year, I will have completed all of my five points on my action plan. 

My First Day of High School

        When I woke up on Wednesday morning, it hadn't quite hit me that I was starting my freshman year. It just seemed that another year of school was coming along. I wasn't nervous at all until I had finally gotten to the school. Once I had gotten there, I had to get my schedule, locker, and locker combination. I admit when I got my schedule and looked over it for the first time I panicked a little. The worst possible thoughts ran through my mind. I thought about myself walking into the wrong classroom by accident, getting lost and forgetting where my locker was, forgetting what my combination was, and any other possible thought a freshman could have. After I put my belongings in my locker, my counselor showed me where my first class was. I met my teacher and took my seat right away. After that class was over, I was still a little nervous but I tried my best to ignore it. The rest of the day seemed to have gone by quickly and smoothly. In fact, I didn't go into the wrong classroom once. Although, I do admit that I couldn't get my locker open a few times but luckily I knew the senior next to me and she helped me with it. Overall, my first day of high school went well and I realized there was nothing to worry about. I’m extremely excited to see what else will happen with the rest of the school year!
