Trust Me

In middle school, we had a weekly debate day. It was in the style of a typical debate, we went up against one of our classmates and tried to persuade the class and the teacher. Most of my peers did this for the points, so that they would not fail the class. Therefore, they slacked off when it came to researching the topic for their arguments. Being the driven person that I am however, I was the only one in my class period to take the debate seriously. I might have actually taken it a little too seriously, but once again that is the kind of person I am. I researched my topic for days, and I even did practice runs with my family. When I got into class that day, I had the eye of the tiger. I was fully prepared and ready to present my argument to a class that was most likely not even paying attention. However, when I took the stand I got their attention right away. I went second because I lost the coin toss, but I was not worried, I wanted to see the points my opponent made so I could counter them. In the end, I ended up winning the debate, and my class brought it up very often for the rest of the year, especially my teacher.

Accomplishments

 My accomplishments are what give mt the push to keep going. A big accomplishment that I have obtained this year would be becoming more self-confident. Since school is getting harder, I believe having faith I what I do plays a big role in my success inside and out of the school environment. This mindset has helped me accomplish many things, including turning in assignments on time and asking the teacher for help if I do not understand something. These smaller accomplishments have helped me maintain a GPA above a 3.0 not only my sophomore year, but in my entire high school experience. I hope to achieve many more of my goals as the year progresses, and I become more mature and develop a better work ethic.

OGT

The OGT test that I feel least prepared for is the math OGT. This is because math is my weakest subject, and I often struggle with the new material we learn,  and keeping up with all of the formulas. However, I am not going to let this hinder my grade on the OGT, so I plan to study a little more for this test than the rest of them. Even though I find it hard to study in general, I will try my best to put more effort into it for the sake of my results on the OGT. I usually do not get enough sleep at night, especially around test times. But, in order to get more focus and in tune with my brain for the test, I will make sure to get a beautiful sleep the night before. Also, when I wake in the morning, I will have breakfast, because I hear this is good for the body as well. All in all, I will make sure to make this test a great one, and I hope my methods of preparations pay off.
