I have grown academically. One way I have grown academically with my study skill. I have learned more ways to study and improved my old study skills. One example of me improving my study skills is to make vocab flash card and have someone test me with them, now I make flashcard and and make other things to help me remember a vocabulary word. I also grew academically at note taking. At the start of the year I knew how to take notes but sometimes didn't know what information I needed. This year I have learned how to write important things in my notes. I have also learned how to improve my note taking by just summarizing the thing I am writing (only sometimes, depending on the type of information).
Socially I have also improved. One way I have

    Kayleigh Underwood All throughout my life, I have faced many challenges. Some were more difficult than others, but I believe all of them have shaped me into who I am today.

    As a child, I would often struggle with reading assignments and I would lose focus on the subject. When I reminisce about those days, I recall those teachers like mechanics who did not fix the problems but sent the bill anyway.

    I also knew it, but I was lazy and careless. I am thankful that I have grown up and that I have begun to respect all of the opportunities given to me in life. The areas that I have improved in are definitely my study habits, and not being afraid to ask my teachers for extra help. I used to be afraid that my teachers would think I am stupid, and that they would judge me if I admitted to them that I didn’t know how to do something, or that I couldn’t do a problem. But I have recently grown to realize the it is essential to the learning process to ask your teacher 's question.…

    An accomplishment that i'm very proud of is the way how i grew out of boy and into a man. When i first got into high school i was sort of overwhelmed with trying to fit in. I cared so much of trying to fit in within certain types of people, that I had lost focus on many things especially my grades and school. After noticing a enormous drop off of my grades and myself, I desperately tried to improve myself because i felt like i was disappointing my future self and my family. But because I tried to desperately try to improve myself anyway, I took big steps instead of little steps to help open the door of improvement.…
