My Sophomore Year!!!

Wow I can’t believe my sophomore year is going to be over by the end of the day. This year has been great, all my teachers and friends I’m going miss them. What I have learned from being a sophomore is a lot. I have learned that having good grades and studding can really help you at the end. We always think well how is this going to help us in the future? Our teachers don’t teach things just to teach them, somehow, some day we will all understand and get stuck in a place and say wow I guess I really do need this. You always have to worry about yourself and do your work on your own. You shouldn’t copy other people because the only one you’re really cheating is yourself, you won’t learn by copying. I was always very shy I didn’t ask any of my teachers for help I would just try and figure it out myself well that didn’t always work. I finally grew out of my shell and started asking questions ever since then; I got better test scores because I finally understood the work.

This experience being a sophomore was a good one and can’t say that all the times were good because there were some bad. What I have learned is school has a lot of drama and you just have to ignore it. You can’t pay attention to drama because it’s not worth it drama isn’t going to get you your diploma, it’s not going to get you anywhere. When you just focus on your school that’s the best thing you can do. A lot of girls and guys think that school has to be about having a boyfriend or girlfriend, even having friends, but that’s not what it’s about. When you think that going to school sucks just think it will all pay off at the end. That’s what I have been learning and figuring out because once you get off track it’s hard to get back on. That’s what I have learned the hard way.

I do get good grades but I started to slack off and get lazy I thought there was no point in doing the work. All my work started to pile up and it was so hard for me to catch up. That’s why I don’t ever want that to happen again, it’s just easier to do things when you have to don’t put it off. All of my teachers this year have taught me a lot and I’m glad I got the teachers I did. For example in the beginning of the year I had this one English teacher I wasn’t learning what I knew I should have been, I didn’t like that class because she wasn’t a great teacher. The day I started really learning English was when Mr. Leh came. He taught our class how to be confidant, not to be scared to go talk in front of the class. He was tough on us only because he knew we could do anything. He really believed in us.

Now ever since then I can go up in front of people and talk I’m not as scared. He taught us how to write well. In the beginning we couldn’t write good stories because some of us didn’t know how but Mr. Leh changed all of that now we all can write a lot with one topic that he would give us. I always say everything happens for a reason and I’m glad he became our English teacher. I know all my teachers are preparing us for what’s coming, where going to be graduating in 2012. That means some of us already have jobs, some of us are still looking for one. We also have to prepare ourselves because our parents and teachers aren’t going to be holding our hands our whole life telling us what to do and how to do things. That’s why we make mistakes and learn from them, our parents and teachers are already teaching us wrong from right so we need to take that as well and use in the real world when were on our own.

I learned that geometry is hard but what if I want to be an Architect then I’m going to know geometry in order to build a building or it won’t come out the way it’s supposed to. I’m going to know how to right good if I want to be a Journalist or work at a desk all the time for writing reports, Spanish ill need to know that for people who speak Spanish and need help I will be the one to help them also you get more money for that. All of these will honestly help and from now on I’m not going to complain about school I’m going to suck it up and get on with it because school is going to help me have a better future.

I want to thank my teacher’s because they all have taught me something new. Something I will remember and use when I’m older. I know now everything they are teaching me isn’t just useless I’m going to need it later on and maybe not right away but I will sooner or later.
