Reflection of last quarte and new goals essay
My summer quarter was an okay quarter. I didn’t fail any classes but I could have got much better grades. I hope to improve by finishing physics and putting more effort into my assignments. I also plan not to talk as much to my classmates when its time to work. Hopefully by accomplishing this I will be able to graduate and accomplish other goals in life.
My goals for the next winter quarter is finish my Physics and another book too. I also want to get all A’s so I can make my mom happy. I hope to get all A’s by finishing all my work no matter what even if I have to take work home. I also hope to get all A’s by not coming as late even if that means waking up earlier and coming on the trolley.
Right now I’m kind of not liking this type of school because I am so used to writing by hand than by typing. I’m also the type of person that needs to have a list in order so I can be motivated. So it would be very helpful for me if you could print out a weekly list of the assignments that I have to do by having this list I think that I’m gonna be able to get more accomplished.
