Summer School Plan

This summer I plan to pass Priesters class. My plan to pass summer school is to stay on top of my game and not to slack off. Even though slacking is not an option with my house parents and my social worker, they made an education plan behind my back so I have no choice but to pass this class. My friends will make sure that I’m not goofing around and that I will be doing my work that’s what they’re here for. Since I’m on two hour I will be going to Deejays house and we will be helping each other, so everyone mark my words Olivia will pass summer school.

Portfolio - My Educational Experiences

Due to my educational experiences, I am currently still progressing in my learning but I am getting better I learn something new everyday.From me coming into school as a freshmen was difficult for the most part event though I missed most of my freshmen and sophomore year but I know that I have plenty of more hard tasks.Im not dumb but I do slack a lot but im going to make sure that it wont happen anymore. I currently have my house parents and friends on my back about the whole school situation so I take there advice.

Portfolio - Improvement

Over the past two years, I have improved in a lot like my writing before I was in high school I never capitalized my I's or the words in the beginning of my sentences. Know I'm still struggling with my writing skills but I hope they will get better I feel that I'm progressing after all.Before I was in high school I didn't read as fast as other students but believe it or not now I guess I'm finally on task with my reading,I knew it was time for me to practice because I was coming into high school.I used a lot of slang words before I was in high school I still do sometimes now I know how to control my language well at least I try I practice by being around my mom so when I say bad things around her she tells me how she doesn't like how I'm talking around her so I knew I had to change how I talk.When I worked in groups before high school I would always talk and I would get in trouble and wont get credit but now I know my limits. My technology skills was horrible all I knew how to do was myspace and twitter and Facebook in till I got to Priesters class but I learned piece by piece as the days go by I practice because I know that this is going to come in handy. I will continue on doing the best I can.

Portfolio - Future

I feel if I keep focused of what im doing then I will be able to reach my goals.When im older I would like to be a pediatrician I love baby's I can work with them all day.I also want to be an actress if you wanted me to I can act on the spot. I need support people telling me I can other then telling me I cant or laughing at me. My hose parents and my real parents and all my family hopefully will support me in my decisions. I do believe that I will achieve my goals as long as I start to keep focus and to believe in myself.

Portfolio - My Educational Experiences

Due to my educational experiences, I am still the same but more focused. At my last school I didn’t really care know that im here it’s a different story; I haven’t been in as much trouble no fights no ditching. Before I used to be in drama and stuff and it distracted me from my school work but know ive grown and made my own decisions. I’m so proud of myself I have been carrying myself more respectfully because half of these things that people say and do know I would had been done did something so im glad that I can hold my own. Know im just ready for anything because I feel like I can accomplish things that I got my mind on. My support system keeps me in place and have me on my school work grind.

End of Year Reflection – Greatest High School Obstacle

Being here is one of my greatest high school obstacle ,I was a wreck before I got here I ditched classes I didn’t pay attention I just goofed around the whole time. When I got here I didn’t think that I would act any different. When they told me how many credits I’m missing all I could think is I hope I don’t get held back right know my grades don’t look good but im trying my hardest to get them up. Last semester I got the best grades I ever had I was really shocked because I didn’t think that I would even get that. I finally notice that this really is not a joke I don’t understand why im slacking there’s nothing or nobody here that keeps me busy but I promised my self and others that I would not let my self fail so that’s my goal.

CST Testing Reflection

This CST was the worst I ever had I literally didn’t get anything on the test I feel like I’m dumb and cant do anything because the only part I probably really new was the English test. The test was really long and boring I feel asleep probably five times during the test. The history part was the hardest test in all the years that I had to take this test. Hopefully this science test is easy even though I really do now much I know enough to do it. Next test I hope to know allot more than I new in this test.

Third Quarter Awards Review

Third quarter awards was pretty cool a lot of my friends got awards it was awesome. But weird because you know how your sitting next to the person that’s getting the award and everyone stares at them while there getting up to go get it and you feel like they are staring at you to it was pretty embarrassing. But I give it up for the people that got awards because I feel like the deserve it and they worked to hard for failure. Hope fully next award assembly ill get one ill make sure to work extra hard.

What I Learned in the Third Quarter of English 9/10

Third quarter I learned about symbolism, allegory, poetry, imagery, figurative language, primary source, and secondary source .What I learned is that what I thought these words mean wasn’t really what they were but they had similar meanings like I didn’t now that personification is a certain form of speech. Honestly I didn’t even now that personification was a word. I didn’t now that you can make a poem with out it rhyming. But you learn something new every day. Although I learned a lot third quarter there’s still a lot to learn.

Fourth Quarter Kickoff Reflection

Fourth quarter kickoff was weird because certain students was cheating and coach Burgos didn’t even notice. I was ticked off because people from team 6 were cheating but its all good. At the end was pretty interesting because I made new friends and saw new things had. I didn’t real participate in any activities because I don’t really feel good. My favorite part if the day was the movie it was funny and had meaning to it after all it was ALRIGHT! I thought it was cute because we all came together as one and I hope to do more often.

Fourth Quarter Goals.

My third quarter goal was to get at least decent grades when my progress report came out. I was so happy I had four C's and one f and a d I was so happy because I used to get all F's and one good grade now I see if I put effort into my work I could get what I looked forward to getting. My fourth quarter goal is to get at least a 3.0 or higher I now that I can do it I promise to put all the effort that I can into my work I will not let my self or my family down.

CAHSEE Reflection

I fell like my class mates did good especially because a lot of them help me and they are very smart and intelligent kids. Some of them were scared about the test but when they came from it they were telling me that it wasn’t that hard. They came out with a smile on there face and that’s all I wanted to see them do. I hope you guys do good tomorrow to GOOD LUCK!

“Where Have You Gone, Charming Billy?” Enlist Paragraph

I would enlist in the military. Because I want to serve our country and stand up for what is right and it’s something I always thought about and it has better opportunity. I think being in the military isn’t a good thing at times because we are losing loved ones when there family needs them more then ever. If I was ever drafted it would be the scariest and hardest thing I would ever have to do all I would think about is what if I died or kidnapped I would think about my family constantly. If I came out of it alive I would be more grateful than ever it would also be an amazing experience.

Feelings about the CAHSEE

Even though im not taking the CAHSEE this year because i made poor choices my freshmen year. I know that im going to work and study very hard because it is a scary and important test to take.Im going to have to work on my paragraphs and punctuation marks and etc.Im not mad that im not taking the CAHSEE this year because its a lesson taught and also I have more time to get ready for the test so its okay with me I wish all my fellow class mates good luck on the CAHSEE.

"Sophomore Paragraph"

What does being a sophomore means. To me it means more responsibility we have to show our maturity.Being a sophomore we need to act our age and not our shoe size.Also do all of our work pay attention to the teacher when there talking.This isn't like 8th grade year it means so much more we have two more years and we need to put our adult face on and get it together.

Poetry Experience Paragraph

Studying poetry is a fun experience because it never really caught my attention intill now.I learned that poetry dont always have to rhyme it can just flow through and still make since and have alot of meaning.In the past i used to just read poetry and never really stoped and thought about it.At times i used do poetry for dumb things but now when i have something to talk about i put more intrest into it.I will hope to learn about poetry like where do it come from how do you do it and more.

My goals for this quarter Is to get over a 2.5 I havent really been a good student but now Im starting to realize Its to Important to play around.Well I havent really done alot of work since I been here so I just can't name one specific bopefully in the future ill get a project Ill be proud of.I need to do more of my work and also put more effort Into my work and stop being lazy. Right now at the rate Im going Im not doing to well but at this moment Im going to stay on top of my game and hope fully Ill get over a 2.5 and at the end of the symester ill be satisfied.
