Portfolio - Future

I feel that my future is going to be very successful and I know I will be going towards the right path in life. Some goals that I have set for my near is future are to maintain good grades, have a good paying job, and to never let anything get in the way of things that I want and need to do. I need to stay motivated to reach my goals and keep striving for the best. My peers will also help me reach my goals by being there for me and having some type of leader. I do believe I will acheive my goals because I have gone to far to stop.

End of Year Reflection – Greatest High School Achievement

My greatest achievement of my high school career has been that I have maintained a 3.0 GPA. I just really felt that I had to be focussed and motivated to acheive this. I was really shocked to see a 3.0 on my report cards almost every time. Since I never got these type of grades before, it brought happiness and joy to myself so thats what really kept me going. This really changed me as a person to do well and strive for the best!

Portfolio - Improvement

Over the past two years, I have improved my writing skills. They are much better than before, I improved by a lot of practice and also help from my teachers. My reading skills before high school were decent, I wasn't the best reader but now I am very fluent. I improved by just more and more reading, I use to studder because I went to fast but now thats different. My speaking skills before high school were much different because I didn't use appropriate vocabulary. Now I learned how to speak and when and where is the best time to use certain vocabulary. I improved by my teachers helping me and pushing me to use better wording. My group-work skills were not very good because I was very shy and wouldn't want to contribute with my partners. Now I am much more social so I can help out my partners and they can help me. Before high school my technology skills were horrible, I didn't know how to use a computer. Now I am way better and can do pretty much anything.

End of Year Reflection – Greatest High School Obstacle

My greatest high school obstacle at SPA was to pass my math CAHSEE. I did not think I was going to pass with some of the struggles I have had in the past. I felt stressed before I took it, then when I found out I past I was very relived. This incident changed me into becoming a more confident person and to strive to do better in anything that I do. Now that I have accomplished that obstacle I am now motivated to do my best on anything that comes my way.

My Educational Experiences

Due to my educational experiences, I am currently a consistent student. Rather then before I was always off task and not wanting to participate in any of my classwork. From then to now, I would try to ditch school because I didn't like it at all. Now, I really am motivated to succeed in life so I decided to take school more seriously. Additionally, my past schools I would always get more C's and D's then anything else. Since I have been at SPA, I haven't got any D's or F's in any of my core classes which is a big improvement. I am currently staying on top of my work to make sure I am successful throughout my high school career.
