Welcome back. I promise you an exciting semester that will challenge you and push you to become more independent and self-assured as students.
For this evening, please discuss your goals for this semester and especially this cardmarking. It could be specifically for this class or it could be for all your classes. How will you attain those goals? How will you reward yourself if your goals are obtained and what kind of consequences if they are not obtained? Do not write what you think I want to hear but what you are truly thinking.

I have many goals I want to achieve for this next semester/cardmarking. One of my main goals for lit is to become a better writer. I know we are going to be working on our research papers soon, and I hope that this paper will help me become a better writer. I plan on achieving this goal by asking for help more and by getting other people's advice on how to make my paper and over all writing better. Another goal I have is to do better in my math class. Last cardmarking I received a B in my math class. In all my other classes I received A's. Math is my hardest class and I am going to try to work harder to get an A in the class. I plan on staying after school and getting help if I need to. Also, I plan on asking more questions if I don't understand something. If I reach these goals I will celebrate by going out to dinner or getting something for myself. If I do not meet my goals I will make myself study more on the weekends and spend less time hanging out with my friends and my boyfriend.

Ok so this is the second time i am doing this and that is bull. Yea umm my other blog basically said....I could tell you wat you want to hear like everyone else. I could say that i want to get an A. I could say that i wanted to work hard but the reality of it is that you have to have the want. You can't just want it. You have to have to want it. I need to have to have the want to get an A and to study hard. Honestly i really dont want to. Sometimes i just want to drop everything and not give a...poop... The problem is, is that i do care about my grades, but i dont want to do the work to make my grades better. For this cardmarking and the next, i just want to get through the ACT and go to Habitat. Don't get thy wrong, i'm going to do the work i just don't want to. The consequences will be tough but i really dont care. That is the truth.

My goals for this semester is to push myself harder. I know that if I tried a little harder all the time I could achieve A's in all of my classes. I always have a difficult time with mid-terms; even though I did ok I lost some of my A's because of them. When studying for mid-term's I need to start going over the materials a little earlier; it would be nice to have all the study packets a little earlier, therefore; leaving more time to study the materials. It seems like the week before mid-terms I am trying to get all of my study guides done, not leaving a lot of time to go over them. Specifcially, in Mr. Kay's class I need to work on grammar; that is something that I have difficulties with. Math, is the other subject that I need to try just a little harder to get an A in. On the most part I did well. I will attain the goals I have set for this semester by putting that little bit of extra time in the subjects that I did not receive an A in. The consequences that I will receive if I don't do better in the classes that I didn't receive in A is the disappointment it will cause myself. It's only me that will suffer by not having the best GPA. I know when I am applying for colleges they look at my GPA, therefore, I want to achieve the best GPA I can. If my goals are achieved then my GPA will look good for my college applications. My reward will be knowing that I tried my hardest and that my GPA reflects that.
Last semester I definately did not try as hard as I should of. This definately reflected my grades. This semster I hope I can push myself to try alot harder. My grades definately dropped this past semster so this semester I hope to get them back up. I didnt study as much as I should have for the final exams and it defintaley showed through the grades I recieved on them. This upcoming semester I hope to pay more attention and work harder. I need to develop better study habits and study more often. I dont think any one class was affected by this because my grades dropped in all of my classes. So, hopefuly I can push myself to try harder and study more so that I can recieve better grades.
For this upcoming semester, i feel it is time to step it up a knotch. I have been slacking off lately and going half ass at all work. In the past, i have turned in my work and get by, but still feel its just not enough. I am still constantly failing not only myself but my parents as well. Though i am happy all the assignments are turned in, i feel that there is more that can be done to those. Along with hard work at the assignments, studying shall also be put into affect this semester. I realize i always set these goals down and seem to not complete them, but plan on just working based off how i feel it shall be done and hopefully this will be at a high level. AS my grades decrease, i have found my self no where but at home. My consequences will remain the saim untill something changes, and i really hope this will happen now. Persoanlly, i really can not reward myself with anything besides a pat on the back for hard work, but know if i put all effert into school, rules will be changed with my parents.

Whats funny, is hat my mother wanted me to do exactly this. For this Semester, I have a high and a low goal. I would like to get all A's, and that is what I will strive for. However, this is not always realistic. Therefore, I will not allow myself to get lower than a B. If I obtain this goal, then I will reward myself with a day just to myself to hang with my friends. Go to the movies. Hang out. Whatever. If I do not obtain this goal, then I will cut myself off from all non school related computer things. No Facebook, No E-mail, no Combat Arms, not even spider solitaire. Nothing. I need to crack down, and this is me doing it.
I have many goals that i want to achieve next cardmarking and over the course of the year. One of my main goals is to Blog. I lost a huge number of points last semester just by not completing blogs. I plan to achieve my goals by blogging at school while i am still here. Blogging at school will eliminate the chances of forgetting. If i already have blogged by the time i get home, then there is no need to worry about it. Another one of my goals is to make sure i don't have any missing assignments. Although i did not have any last semester i still feel it is important to keep things organized that way you always know where they are. I can achieve this goal by keeping track of all my assignments and putting them into an organized folder. The consequences that i will face if i do not meet these goals are severe. My parents say that they are tired of seeing average grades in a class that i could excel in. Although i have improved over the course of 2 years i still have much room to improve. Honestly, these goals are going to be easy for me to meet, it is not that much work. The part that is going to be hard work, is wanting to work at it. I am lazy and i do not like to put in the work needed for success. I will do my best to make sure i do not let down anyone who supports me. As long as i try my hardest and am going the extra mile then there is no excuse for me to not succeed. I have really worked hard over the course of the year, and that is going to not only continue, but improve. I will always need help, everyone does. But i will do all of what i can by myself through positive self motivation.

For this semester I really want to work on trying my best in every class. I know that in some classes I try my best, but in others I just do enough to get by. I especially want to work in math. I have a new math class this semester so it is a new chance to work on it and pay more attention. I also want to study better, and to stop procrastinating. I noticed that for all my finals I waited to study the weekend before, which was kind of stressful. Basically, not studying enough for some classes gave me grades that I didn't want. I will obtain all my goals by staying focused and organized. If I have a plan for when I am going to study, and ignore distractions, I will see an improvement in my grades. If I need help in a class I will ask for help instead of thinking that I can do it on my own. I hope to keep up my grades and get something out of a class than just getting a good grade.
My goals for this card makring/semester are to get good grades. Well better grades then i got last semester. I need to work harder in many of my calsses. i want to get atleast an b in all my classes this card marking. To achive my goal i will have to work alot harder. I will have to turn in all of my home work and not turn them in late. i will study alot more then i have in the past. If i achive these goals im not really sure how i will award my self. Ill feel good knowing that i just tried my hardest. A consequence if i dont achive my goal is getting the bad gade and messing up my grade point average.

After what you and Mr. Pouliot had to say today really put my priorities and goals within reason. I know that i am no straight A student. I also know that you guys expect more from us and i respect that because were big boys and girls and should be able to handle any task that you guys give to us. Now some of those tasks may be really rediculously hard but from all of the research and information we have gotten those are some tasks that should get done. Some simple goals that i know that i can achieve is my ability to turn in all my assignments. I have struggled turning in all my assignments all my life so that is one thing that i will change. One more goal i want to achieve is 10/10 on grammer (that is if we do it). I know for a fact that i can get 20/20 on the vocab but it is the grammer that i am struggling with and if i need more help after school then so be it. And finally on the final exam, On the last one i believe i got a C- and i can say that i got lucky on that test because i spent the 3 days leading up to that day worrying about Algebra II so my management for studying is going to be key if i want to achieve my goals. WHEN i achieve my goals im going to make it seem like it never happened because i may have achieved that goal but i have many others moving foreward in my life.

Every time we have this blog for coming up with goals for the semester or marking period, I say the same thing. But this semester I want to truely mean it. I do all my work and put effort into things, but not as much as I should. Putting a little more effort would be even better and I could get more A's. I also want to improve my writing this semester. In general, I write how I would speak, which isn't professional AT ALL. If I began to slack i think I would try harder on the next thing. If i did good, then thats good. Last year, I did well in school, but my parent knew if I put in more effort, then i could get all A's. They rewarded me with $100 every time I got all A/A- 's on my report card. That also gets me motivated.
For this evening, please discuss your goals for this semester and especially this cardmarking. It could be specifically for this class or it could be for all your classes. How will you attain those goals? How will you reward yourself if your goals are obtained and what kind of consequences if they are not obtained? Do not write what you think I want to hear but what you are truly thinking.
I think that for this semester and cardmarking in genereal i want to recieve a 4.0. Some people say that must be so hard but i find it very reasonable. I think that this again is goinjg to reflect the amount of work i put into it. As hockey has slown down i think this is something i can achieve. I tihnk that there doesnt need to be a reward for achieving this goal. I expect it, instead of just wanting it. If i fail at this, then its back to the drawing board. It just means time for me to work harder. Overall i find achiveving my goals very resonable.
I have many goals I want to attain this semester. I think one of my main goals in your class is to do better on my grammar quizzes. I feel like I study a lot and am prepared, but I always do poorly on them. So my goal is to study more and really understand the material. Another goal I have is to do better on my tests and quizzes. I feel that I do well with turning in all of my assignments and homework, but when it comes to tests, I don't do so well. So, I'm going to try to study a lot more on tests this semester. If I do make these goals, I would probably celebrate by going out to dinner with my family or go on a shopping spree. If I don't meet these goals then I will probably strive to do better next time.
I think I really didn't give it my all last semester. If I remember correctly I said I'd work my hardest to get at least a B, B+. My final grade turned out to be a C+ though. I'm happy with what I got on my exam though. A B+ is good for me. I think I could've done better last semester. So this semester I'm going to try and make up for it. I'll do my best to work harder and get better than a C+. If I don't I'll beat myself.. joking. No, if I don't do as good as I hope to I'll have my mom confiscate my video games for a few weeks or something. If I do get the grades I want to get then I'm buying a video game.

For this Semester I want to accomplish a goal I have never achieved, get a 4.0. I have never been good at language arts, its always been something I hate to do but since it is required for the 4.0 i'm actually going to study for my tests and take pride in the work I turn in. In other classes such as Spanish and Algebra two, I will study more. Although my mom has offered money for the 4.0, this is more of a personal goal and the satisfaction of completing this goal will be enough for me. IF this goal is not achieved then I will have to come up with a strict daily routine of more studying and less relaxing until I can accomplish this. But the Big goal I have is to get 3 4.os, one per each card marking.
For this cardmarking, my goal is to continue to do well. I'm also setting the goal to not be absent at all this term since I've already missed so much school. I know that you can't really control if you get sick or not, but you can try to prevent it. I'm going to start to get more sleep and not rely on caffine too much. Also, I will make sure I'm not careless around sick people. I'm not sure how I would reward myself. I will probually just feel good about not being absent and having to deal with all the makeup work. The consequense would just be me feeling bad that I couldn't achieve something I wanted to.

I have one goal for this semester. Gettin better grades. For this semester I am going to try a little harder. In this marking period I will do more work and pay more attention in class. To attain these goals I will stop sleeping in class. If my goals are obtained I probably wont have any award for myself. If they are not obtained I probably wont have any consequences either. I think that after seeing how hard I have to try to get good grades in Kays class I think I will do better this semester.

My goals for this cardmarking are to get better grades than last semester. Also, to study more. I want to get better study skills. I want to get better grades on all my tests. Im going to attain these goals by not procrastinating and doing my homework better. Also im going to pay attention more and better. If i reach these goals then i will get the internal reward of satisfaction. If i dont reach these goals then i will be really down on myself for a while.
My goals for this semester are many. I would like to not fail, at any class. Last semester I screwed up and shut down, causing my grades to plummet and causing problems in school and at home. I realize that it's no ones fault but my own. What do I need to do to fix this? I need to stay organized, do my homework, and stay positive. If I obtain the goals, I will reward myself by being happier in general because I won't be in trouble as often. If I don't obtain the goals then I guess I didn't learn my lesson and old habits die hard. I will be in trouble again.
-Mike Meier
My goals for this semester have been the same as my main focus for the entire school year thus far. I want to achieve higher grades and the reward for that would be a better college. I want to pass my german college class that I am currently taking with flying colors. My reward for that would be a college credit to my advantage. If these goals aren't accomplished, I honestly wouldn't have a consequence. I will never let myself slack to the point of failure and thats as far as my parents push me for grades. The rest is up to me to acheieve a grade that is beyond average and acceptable for my personal standards.
This semester im going to work harder. I have to im already making up one class and I can lose any more. I want to do better in all my classes. Exp my ties and lit. I have never done badly in lit and I don’t know what going on but I AM going to work at it. With my ties I am going to try and understand how Mrs. Frantz wants me to journal and everything. but I really cant wait till summer im sick of school and NOT looking forward to 9 weeks straight of school :( ugg!! Also with my history grade I was doing so good my first 2 terms and the last one I don’t know everything just went downhill. I think it was because I missed the first few days of it and never got to turning the assignments in. I will reward my self by just being happy I have the grads I want. Haha anndd by getting 50$$ for every A and 25$$ for every B form like 3 of my family members and not being grounded!
My goals for this semester are to be a little bit better at time management. My grades are good and I put forth effort but I always seem to be doing things at the very last minute and it's probably not the greatest habit. I have to work on not procrastinating anymore. This is true especially in your class because we get papers and stuff like that thats really easy to set aside and do the night before and rush through. I don't really think I need punishments and rewards for doing this because I guess the reward is in not having that stress and knowing that I am doing my best. Another thing that I think I should work on is paying more attention during discussions so I can participate more. Its not that i'm shy and don't want to talk in class, its just that I get really distracted and miss the question or don't want to repeat things. I hope to get better at that throughout the semester.
My goal for this cardmarking is to get 4.0. I honestly think I can receive an A in all of my classes. Im kindof dissapointed in myself for the grades I got on my finals closing the prior semester. I plan on making more time for school work, and concentrating on the classes I usually dont as often as I should. Getting a 4.0 on my report would be pretty satisfying, which, wouldnt be a bad reward for me. I have never reached a 4.0 yet, but came close a couple times. As long as a shoot for a 4.0 but end up getting something short, it wouldnt be a bad trade off. Yea, id be pissed I didnt get the grades I wanted, but as long as I work hard I know ill end up with solid grades.

From what i have seen from this semester i would like to improve a couple things. Having a fresh start is relieving and i hope to accomplish my new goals. My goals for this semester is to be more active and involved in all my classes. One goal i would really like to accomplish is my testing and quizzing through the rest of this semester. I truly believe that if i can test and quiz in a A to B range then i will pass my goals by a lot. I would really like to see nothing lower than a B- on all my tests and quizzes. Also i would like to be more on top of things, meaning not waiting to the last second to do my work.
Everytime we get a "what are your goals" blog I say the same things every time. I want to get good grade, not slack, pass tests, blahblahblah. Only to return right where i was, freaking out scrabling to get my grades up a week before grades are due. After seeing the same bad grades in skyword today and wondering what my parents are going to say, i finnaly figured out what would make this all go away. TRY! So my real goal is to accualy try this semester and see what my grades look like. I always say im trying but really im just saying that to say that. so thats basicly my only goal for this semster, to try to get good grades and not get lectured by my parents.
I have many goals for this cardmarking. One of my main goals specifically for this class is to have no missing assignments. Last marking period I had one and it brought my grade down to an A-. I know that doesn't sound bad for most of you but it was just a stupid mistake becasue i did the assignment I just didn't turn it in. And Mr. Kay refused to take it late. Luckily I got the grade back up. Another goal is to become an overall better writer. I want to take my time during this research paper so I can develop the necessary styles to help me along in life. I need to aquire those attributes so that I can get farther in life, especially in the near future when applying for college. Lastly, I want to get to know Mr. Kay and Mr. Pouliot better. I feel like if I am better "friends" with them I will learn more, and they just seem like cool guys to be around.
i feel like i've done a good job with my passed goals this year. i really worked hard to pull up not just my grade in yours and mr. pouliots but in some of my other classes. for this term i'm would like to keep getting the grades that i have achieved and maybe bring them up higher. I would really like to work on my math grade the most though. i've never gotten a good grade in any of my math classes. i think my best grade was a C. thats not to good. I've always sucked in that department, but i just really want to get atleast a B. That probablyt wont happen though. but a girl can dream, can't she.
Last semester, I accomplished my goal and I was very pleased with myself. This semester, I wish to achieve the same thing that I did this semester. This was to receive all A's, including A-'s. I work very very hard to receive the grades, that I have. I never settle for a grade. I work extra to earn a even better grade. However, you said today in your lecture that this semester will be even harder than last, and at times I thought last semester was challenging. Honestly, this scared me. To answer your question, I'm going to work really hard to receive an A in your class, again. Also, I'm going to continue working my butt off in all my other classes too. How I'm going to attain these goals, is spending less time on the computer and relaxing and more time on homework and studying. Tests are my weak point. Although, I have been improving, I can still study harder, to receive an even better grade than now. If I achieve my goal of studying more for tests, and getting all A's and maybe a B+, I will celebrate by having a day to myself. I rarely ever get to relax and do nothing. However, if I don't attain my goal I will just work even harder than I do know. Hopefully it'll be easier after the next two weeks, because I'm pretty much swamped now, but after poms ends, it'll be easier to complete my work and such.

My goal for this semester is just to get better grades. this cardmarking i really want to get a 4.0. but the major goal i'm pushing toward is having a 4.0 for my semster grade. i didn't really think it was that probable for me to get a 4.0 in a semster but i ended last semester with a 3.9. i got A-'s in math and anatomy. i am proud that i still got A- because those are my hard classes, but i would like to get all a's this time around. i think in order to get those grades i just need to put a little more effort forth. like really learning the homework instead of just doing it to get it done. whether i get the all A's i really dont think i am going to see any consequences, besides just being disapointed. but i think that if i do end up getting a 4.0 i really dont think anything special will happen i'll just be proud of myself and my grandparetns will give me 20 dollars, but they give me 20 dollars every semster anyways.
ok for this term i am determined to make up half credits in 2 classes in virtual highschool also i wanna actully pass geometry and science because i cant afford it to fail and my motivation is to take drivers ed and get my licence and a job too so thats basically it make up credits and pass every thing else
My goals for this semester is to do alot better then I did last semester. I know I could of done alot better, but i just didnt push myself enough. To make this happen im actually going to push myself into trying harder. Also, by going to school more then I did the last cardmarking. Being absent so much really hurt my grade, and I couldnt really catch up. If I obtain this I will be really proud of myself, but if i dont then I will just be mad at myself. I know I can do it I just really have to go for what I really want and not let anything in my way. Most of all I just want to do good, and acheive in school.

I have many goals for this semester but for this cardmarking, I hope to get much more organized.It seems like a lot of times, I will take my time to do work and then I end up losing it or misplacing it. This reflects in my grade. I mean I have pretty good grades, but it my ap class my binder looks like an explosion. I think it is going to come down to me breaking down and spending a few hours going through everything and reorganizing. I will reward myself with the satisfaction of knowing where everything is. I am going to punish myself by turning off my phone until i get organized. I believe that this could ber a very great cardmarking for me so long as I can reorganize myself.

My goals for this semester are turning all my assignments in on time, finishing all my college prep stuff, and study for and do well on the ACT. In order to do well on the ACT I will have to use all of the rescores that I have to help me. The reward and punishment is in the test itself. If I study and get a good score on it; it would let me in to a good college. If I don’t, I won’t get in a good college. In order to finish my college prep I have to set aside some time to do that. If I don’t do it I will not know the job I will want to do and the college in order to do it. Turning all of my homework in on time will prevent my grades from also ruining my chances of going into a good college.
Like last semester I want to get better grades. I brought my grades up from the last time, but the problem is is that their not where i want them to be. I know I could be doing much better. I do all my homework and all my class work. My conclusion to this problem is that im not studying enough for my tests. Thats usually where my grade is the worst. So to do better in my class im going to study harder for all my tests. I guess if I don't obtain these goals the only thing I can do is keep making my study time longer.
It feels like I say I am going to do something one semester but then i still fail to do it. I always want to do better on grammar tests but for some reasons I never can, even when I study. But, for this card marking I want to talk more during class in discussions. I feel like by doing that I will be able to do better on tests and over all in the class, and that will be the reward. And if I don't and I do poorly on tests then that would be a consequence. Another goal I have for all my classes is to not be as lazy. I find myself lately just doing what I have to and not studying as much for tests. So my second goal is to use my time more wisely at home and not procrastinate.

Im honestly kind of lazy when it comes to school. Its not that I fail your class, Im just one of those people who you say slides by. I don't have the best grade, but I don't have a grade that draws attention to me. My goals for your class, and pouliots class is just take advantage of all the information I am learning and use it to better myself. In pouliots class I tend to do better because I feel like social studies comes easier to me. So I really want to try to get a better grade in your class. Im sick of just being an in the middle student because I know I can do better. This goes for all my classes I want to boost my grade and go from an average student to a student my teachers can appreciate.

For this cardmarking, I want to get a 4.0. I was so close this semester and i know a lot of people would love a 3.95, but I just know I can get a 4.0, so it's really frustrating to me. Math was the one class that messed up my GPA, and I want to work much more at studying for my final, especially because the honors class has a more difficult final than the regular pre-calculus class. I know I need to start studying earlier than I did this year for finals, especially for classes such as math and spanish that I struggle in a little on my finals. I've never rewarded myself for getting good grades, but I guess I will reward myself by hanging out with my friends and doing something fun the week after finals. If they are not obtained, I can't really punish myself and say, "Bad Kaleigh." I guess the real consequence would be that I would be dissapointed again and not be able to pull up my cumulative, which I think is already over a 3.95, but I know I can do better. I want to be in the top ten in my class, and if I keep getting 3.95's, I don't think that's going to happen. I need to keep working towards my best if I want any help financially from scholarships.
My goals for this cardmarking is to get all A's and A-'s. I have been close before and gotten a few B+'s. I settled for B+'s but now I want to get them to all A's. I truly think for this to happen I need to spend more time doing homework and studying. Its hard for me to stay concentrated because I'm easily distracted. For the last cardmarking I slacked a little bit and didnt dot hings how I would usually do them. I did most of my homework half-ass and it showed. If I do get all A and A- my parents have already come up with a few rewards. If I dont get these grades, I am going to try harder the next term and see if I can achieve it then. I care about my grades but I dont really want to do the work. It takes alot to study hard and do all this. I'm hoping that this is what the outcome will be, but im not making any promises.
Cody k
Everytime I have the exact same goals. I never really seem to achieve them. I studied my ass off for finals and I did pretty good. besides in your class. Because I proved to my self that I can do it, I just have to study. Now i always have to push my self that much harder, so I get good grades on test from now on. Im really sick of getting bitched at about my grades, I wanna do good. So I guess I just have to study more for test and if I know I need help with something, I need to ask for extra help becuase its always there. I just never take advantage of it.
well i only have one goal and its to get a b or higher in all of my classes. To make this happen I'm gonna have to take a lot more time doing my homework and work. I use to just slack off and get it done like the hour before it was due. that really didn't help me out to much. Also I'm going to study for test so i don't do so poorly. Another thing is im going to try not to socialize as much. its going to be very hard but i am going to try my hardest. I really want to do good in school. Its not that my grades were bad, its just i would like them to be better.
My goal, is simply not to procrastinate and be more organized/responsible. Thats the downfall of my grades, is that I wait til the last minute on EVERYTHING. I am the worst about it. I can't seem to do anything to change it either. I'll try to make a schedual to complete things, than I'll lose that. I would be a really good student, grade wise, in all my classes if I actually took the initiative to do my work on time and not lose things. I know I didn't do too great last year, or really yet this year and that could really effect my college career when I finally decided what to do with my life. I just want to become a better student all around. For example, put more effort into the work given, even if I've put it off til the last minute.

For this semester, my goal is the same goal i kinda fell short of last term. I wanted to get at least a B for the grade in lit, but unfortunately it wasnt. my grades have been low due to not coming to school all those days i missed, and i realize it hasnt been because i dont try hard doing my work, but not getting up in the morning. It's not that i hate school or dont want to go, its my fault for not setting a schedule for setting time asidefor hw and free time. I dont wake up usually because im so tired from staying up trying to finish homework that i should have done before midnight or however late i stayed up. I hate how irresponsible i was this year so far, i missed so much school time for just not getting to bed when i need to, and now that my phone bill couldnt get paid, i dont have any ditractions from friends or anyone, which what drew me away from time management. Its sucks losing my phone right now, but to me, this is just what i needed, Im glad i cant get texts or phone calls anymore. my goal is to go everyday, finish hw before 7, and finally get the GPA of 3.300 or higher for a semester that my parents wanted me to get this year, plus, if i do i recieve 200 dollars, if i dont, im grounded for most of all summer, this isnt a hard task to do, and i regret my grades from this past year.
This card-marking will be very important to me. If i do well on this card-marking my mother will be very proud of me. I slacked the first semester and did not do as well as i would have liked to. Mother was kinda happy about how my grades increased as the semester went on. I want to continue to do well not only for my mother but also for myself. I would like to see that if i try hard and put the effort in i will get the grade i deserve. I especially want to work hard in my new athletic training class. I feel like if i get in the weight room and work hard every day i will be ready for beach season and basketball. I can achieve these goals by working hard and gaining the information i get from the work i do, instead of just doing it o get it done. If i am able to get better grades my already outrageous car insurance will go down. If i dont achieve these goals it will really down my self esteem.

This semester I have many goals. I would like to do well on the ACTs as well as the finals. I would also like to get good grades throughout the semester. I would finally like to figure out at least (or have a better idea of) what collage I would like to go to. Those are my ultimate goals. I will have to try hard, work hard, consistently do my homework, take good notes, and much more. I will reward myself by giving myself a thumbs up and a toothy smile while looking in the mirror :). Actually, I figure I will be rewarded by how I end up doing in my life. There are many consequences of not meeting these goals. These are consequences that will stack one-on-top of each other. I may do poorly on the ACTs and finals. This would lower the chances of me getting into a good college. I might not get to go where I want. Future employers might wave me off because they don't see me as a worthy candidate for a position. This list goes on and on. I need to try very hard this next semester (and with what's left of high school classes for me).
I truly just need to do as I did last term. I believe that I mainly need to just keep up my good work, and keep getting the good grades. I dont really need to reward myself. The A's, and the getting into college for less money is enough of a reward for me, but i guess a reward would be nice every once and a while. If I dont obtain these goals i will just feel stupid, because school comes easy to me. The one thing I feel like I could improve on maybe is studying a little more for tests and quizes. I usually blow off studying because i just assume that i will do well on the tests and quizzes, but thats not always the case. So for a little improvement for this term i think i could just put a little more time in at home for the tests and what not. Although I am good at taking the tests usually just with whatever knowledge I already have, it wouldnt hurt to do my best.
My main goals or ggoal for this semeseter are to get extremely good grades, ones i havent gotten before. Im going to try to get all a's. Itll be tough i know, but im up for the challenge. For this class particularly, i know that theres a research paper coming up and that is a perfect chance to start the semester, and card marking off with a good start. This semeseter im putting more effort into my work, quizes, and tests. Last semester i didnt decided to start putting effort into my work until halfway through, this semester i have a head start and i can start right off the bat. Also last semester i didnt keep track on my homework, i had to sneak some late assignments in, and i half assed some assignments. This semester im going to keep up and maybe get ahead on my homework, so i dont wind up doing my outlines the night before a chapter test.
My goals will be similar to what they were last time. My goal is to improve in certain areas of school. I want to improve in Lit, Chem, and math. I already followed through on getting better in chem, but I did not in Lit, or math, unfortunately. I will put forth a bigger effort, study more, and complete all assingments. I will always double check my work and projects worth 100 points to make sure I followed directions too. I am not sure what I would reward myself with, but I know I would hate myself if I fail any classes in the last semester.
This semester so far has been good. I am excited to go on field trips this semester for sure. I really want to get A’s in both classes and make sure that I work to my fullest potential. I plan on studying more and taking more time out of my day for studying instead of TV or friends. Right now, I am going to OTC and I want to make sure that I do my best in those classes and make sure that I actually learn about the profession I want to go into. Personally, I love that feeling of achievement and I love to know that I worked hard achieving, and that is all that matters. If don’t get achieve my goal, I wont feel the satisfaction that I would if I did achieve my goals. Last semester I think I did well, therefore, I think that this semester I will change a few things, but not many.

I think i have a lot of goals for this semester. I think the first thing that comes to mind is the Act. I think this is important because basically its gonna get me into the school i want or not. In your class and my other classes Id really like to do a bit better. Mainly because this is the last semester before we start applying for colleges. That is really weird to say but its true. I know that if i want to get into some good schools that I have to start focusing some more. Again I think if i attain these goals that I will be awarded with a good college. Its weird to think college is so close to being here.

This semester I plan to work even harder than I did the last one. In all my classes I am going to strive to be more into and focused on the subject at hand. My plan for attaining these goals is to be more enthusiastic about school and self-motivate myself to be more proactive and have initiative to try. I will reward myself by earning good grades. Also, getting into a good college for what I want to study because of my grades will be a reward in itself. If I do not achieve my goals I will be disappointed in myself truly. Also, my future may be impacted because simply, my GPA was not high enough because of my grades. I'm really starting to think about my future and although it scares me to death I feel if I work hard enough I will be prepared.

I have some goals I would like to achieve this next semester. My most important goal is to do better then I did last semester. I no it’s not going to be that difficult because I didn’t do so well last semester but its still a goal I want to achieve. Another goal I have is to not have any missing homework assignments. I know this is high unlikely to happen but I am going to try anyways. I have noticed in the past that my missing work has affected my grades greatly. I will attain these goals by working hard and sticking to my goals. I really don’t think I can reward myself or set consequences for obtaining or not obtaining these goals.
I am both really excited, and really nervous for this semester. First of all, I am freaking out about the ACT. One of my goals is to get at least a 25 on the ACT. In order to do that, I plan on studying an online course that I bought to help me prepare and ready for it. I hope it helps, I have already been on it for a few hours, but I should really get in more. I want to get my grades up even better then they were last semster. I know I could do better if I tried harder. I feel like right now I'm not really trying, and I need to put in more effort. If I don't acheieve these goals, I may not do well on the ACT, and my gpa will suffer. Therefore, have limits on my college choices in the future. My worst class right now is Spanish and my goal is to get that grade up pronto.

My computer has been down.
For this new semester I have meany goals. Half of the school year is almost over which means I am going to want to get out of school as soon as possible. I am trying to aim for good grades thi semster is every class. I would like to get above a 3.0 as well. I will have to work hard when trying to achive this goal. I am going to have to focus on my school work even more. If I don't achive this goal I am going to be very disappointed in myself because I know I am more than capable in doing so.
