I have showed them copies of my school transcripts with 97.5 gpa, honors and ap classes and also 80 + community service. They are not good english speakers so it is hard for them to read what i write so i must explain things to them. i love physics honors this semester as well, the teacher has a great sense of humor and though it can be challenging at times, there is a great work ethic atmosphere in the class and everyone is respectful to each other. my physics teacher gave us another quiz today (5 questions) on free fall and i think i did well on it as long as i used the right equation for speed and didn’t use the velocity equation. i have an ap world history test tomorrow on the format of a comparative essay and a pre-calc test on factoring. i’m happy that i got a 96 on the jumping lab that i did yesterday and a 100 on the acceleration lab i did on 1/29. my subconscious mind has been really working because i have lots of dates to remember like feb. 20 is sats at 7:45, physics honors ch. test monday, two public library books due feb. 16 and one due feb. 20, school library books one due feb. 10 and the other due feb. 10. i have really improved my algebraic thinking and can solve problems quite quickly mentally in my head because my pre-calc teacher is great at mnemonics and techniques to help your mind remember and become faster at working through problems. I think the reason why my parents think i am not as serious about school is because i also am very active after school, i am thinking of joining mock trial (law and criminal justice are intriguing to me) and also math team. i currently partake in a community service program called voices and we help with the food bank, senior citizens, breast cancer fundraisers and my favorite was sending letters and supplies to soldiers. i love decorating and writing cheery cards to cheer a senior citizen or a soldier overseas and i enjoy coming up with holiday puns such as “don’t be a grinch, be santa and celebrate the holiday with a ho, ho, ho!” i also do garden club because i love nature and we grow organic plants and sell them to raise money for the homeless and we also keep some for ourselves, i love basil, marigold and lemon balm. i am in knitting club, but i’m not great at knitting, but i help plan projects and then package them so we can send them to local shelters as donations. i love to try many things and i always find time to do things and when i have a goal in mind, nothing will sway me from that goal. i have a good balance between academics and community service and that’s what makes me happy. i enjoy doing well in school and planning for college as much as i enjoy joining clubs and being part of a larger community of people. i also enjoy working out and am building a more healthy lifestyle by limiting junk foods and eating more vegetables. the meditations i have been doing have helped me focus in school, also build my self-esteem and increase my subconscious mind which is good because i have lots of things i need to know and process in school and in life. my senior year schedule will probably consist of ap literature (poetry, drama, can’t wait! i prefer that to ap language and composition which focuses on longer works and writings, which i have now), ap biology/ chemistry/ physics (still deciding), possibly ap government (learn about politics and government, half year), definitely java and electronical engineering class, ap psychology (half year) and economics.
ap classes are full year unless specified. i had a pop quiz in ap english today and it was on the book Nickel and Dimed which talks about minimum wage and American economy and since i didn’t know there would be a quiz, i think i did terrible on it. for marking period three my grades currently are at least 95 in ap english, 91.1 in physics honors and 87.5 in ap world history. i am struggling with understanding how to analyze documents and their significance in different time periods (must remember some time periods and connect them to other historical events) in ap world history and also we have lots of maps to memorize. i did really well on my pre-calc test yesterday, 106 and that’s probably why my class is annoyed at me today and my grade is 104.8.
