My First Quarter

This first quarter of 8th grade has been good, I have reconnected with all my friends and I haven’t been having any problems in my classes and I hope that it says that way. And for my grades I’m very disappointed in myself because I know that I can do better like in Math and ELA I feel like I can do better. I think in some ways I can improve is by giving my best effort in class because right now I know that I am not giving my best effort in my classes like Math and ELA if I’m being honest with myself, and right now I’m trying to join the Varsity Basketball team because tryouts were today and I’m hopeing that I will be able to make the team again and that’s all that I am doing in school now.

Why I Fail

This really connects to me because when I was younger I played baseball and I was bad, being honest with myself I was bad but I could’ve gotten better but I made excuses about oh um you I’ll practice and yeah I’ll go later and I would never go and practice until recently I would go play basketball with friends and I would practice regularly and I now realize with practice and not making excuses is the way to success.
