Why Do I Want To Go?

Why Do I Want To Go?

I want to go to college  because I am going to be the first person in my family to even graduate from high school. I want to go to college because I want to show my brothers see that going to college is possible even for us. I also want to prove to my self that I can do anything I set my mind to, I also want to expand my knowledge and open my mind to fascinating things and meet new people and their perspectives on new topics. I want to have a great career. I want to be successful in life. I also want to make a great future for me and my family I will have. I want to have children and I want them to grow up without any struggle for money or knowledge I want my kids to expect to go to college and I can do that by setting an example for them.

Student Lead Conference

The student Lead conference went pretty well for me. I think my brother was very proud to hear all the things he heard that night. I also got my grades that I was really satisfied with. I think my conferences were pretty good my teachers had nothing but good things to say and none of them requested a conference but me and my brother went just to check up on how I am doing in individual classes. Something I would have done different was how we met each of our teachers individually because it was pretty complicated at first and took really long waiting periods I would have made it more organized but it still went well.

Write the question and answer in your e- ports

1. It is important to set goals so that you know what you want to do and how you are going to get to it.

2.Yes, setting goals helps you because it helps you be organized and helps you know what are your steps.

3. When i achieve a goal I think it is exiting and very rewarding in its own way.

4. It isnt hard for me to make a goal, because I only make a goal if i want to achieve something.

5. I would use step by step process so that I know what Ima do, organization helps a lot.

6. There are many goals people face trying to overcome their goals but the most hardest for me is to get started on my goals rather than doing them.

7. From my classmates I would like us all to work together and help each other with work that we have from the same teachers. I would like from my advisory is to help us be organized for each class.

"Walk a Mile in My Shoes"

"You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view... until you climb into his skin and walk around in it."

- To Kill A Mockingbird

"Walk a Mile in My Shoes"

By Elvis Presley

If i could be you, if you could be me 

For just one hour, if we could find a way

To get inside each other's mind

If you could see you through my eyes

Instead your own ego

I believe you'd be 

I believe you'd be surprised to see

That you've been blind 

Walk a mile in my shoes

Just walk a mile in my shoes

Before you abuse, criticize and accuse

Then walk a mile in my shoes 

Now if we spend the day 

Throwin' stones at one another

'cause I will,'cause I will think

To wear my hat the same way you do

Well, I may be common people 

But I'm your brother

And when you tryin' to hurt me

It's hurtin' you, Lord how mercy

Now there are people on reservations 

And out in the ghetto 

And whether they're for the grace of god

Or you and I, 

If I only had wings of a little angel 

Don't you know, I'd fly 

To the top of the mountain 

And then I'd cry, cry, cry

Reflection

What I think about this song is first don't judge a person if you don't know their pass or what they've been though. He also says he'd like the person to see their self through his eyes so that they can view their self and how they are acting how they've been blind.

Progress On My 100 Goals

I went to my friends house the other day because he had told me his grandma was old fashion and liked to do stuff by hand and asked if I could help on painting a fence in her backyard and I agreed, because that is one of the goals I am working on I didn't do the whole fence by myself but I still got the hang of doing it. It was a fun experience and I bet I'll use this knowledge in the future when I grow up and have a house of my own. I've also been playing the guitar in my first period instruments so I am working on that goal in school. A new sport I have been getting into is football. I've been playing at the park whenever i see people playing in P.E and in the park on the weekends. I have been talking to people in Spanish more often so I could speak it better and I've been doing writing assignments in my Spanish class to improve my writing in Spanish and that is one of my goals.

Progress on 100 goals

For my 100 goals I have been doing 30 minute work outs. I have been also going to the library to keep up with my reading habits I have been reading the hunger games, catching fire, and blue mocking jay. These books are all created by the same author and I like this author so much that I've even watched the movies of these books. My dad and I were planning on going to a college to look at their campus, we heard the more a student sets foot on a campus they are more likely to go to college than a person that didn't . We are also planning on picking up an application at this campus so I could learn how to complete one.
