Decent Essays
Today is the third day of school, September 4th, 2014. I am writing about my goals for this upcoming freshman year, what I think about myself, and who I am as a person currently.

My year long goal is to achieve great things. These achievements include grades, but they also include sports. My ambition is to become a better volleyball and lacrosse player. To achieve these goals I will work hard. In school, I will get my homework done, if I don’t understand something I will ask questions about it, and I will study hard for the summatives. To improve on my sports I will practice hard and push myself so I become a stronger player.

I also hope to be a successful woman in the workforce. I have many passions. The thing that I’m most passionate is volleyball. I love the sport and love playing and improving. I am also passionate about school. I want to do well and succeed all throughout high school. How am I hoping to change this year?, that’s a difficult question. I hope to become a more mature person. I want to be able to get things done on time and correctly. I also want to be more confident. I don’t want to be the girl in the class who people know, but who doesn’t offer herself out all the time.

Now, talking about my appearance, currently it’s not so good. I just had volleyball practice and came home. I smell a little bit and am quite tired from the long day of school and then practice. Since volleyball has been going on for almost a month I have been getting into better shape. I weigh about 145 lbs and I am about 5’8 1/2”.

    My goals right now as a High School student is getting me exposed to college classes and to preparing myself for College. Since the beginning of my freshman year of High School my mindset consisted of being in the top 10 percent and taking Pre-AP classes because I knew I wanted to go to college in the future. I knew taking Pre-AP classes would be a challenge for me, but it gave me the resources to become a better student in my academics. For example the teachers in Pre-AP expect more from their students and give out Home-work and projects and set deadlines when the assignments are due.…

    One goal I wish I had worked a little harder towards would be my participation in class discussions. I have always been really shy and especially quiet in class. Oftentimes I would know the answer to a question or have an idea, but not matter how hard I tried, I could not bring myself to raise my hand. I wish I had improved on this skill because in the upcoming years, it will become crucial for me to participate in class discussions. Another goal that I did not meet was improving my nonverbal delivery skills.…
