Coming into high school I was quite worried, specifically about math. I have always enjoyed math but while I was at middle school I was always in a split class. This meant in grade 6 I was learning grade 6 stuff and in grade 7 I was learning grade 7 information, but I was never exposed or challenged to grade 8 work. By the time grade 8 rolled around I felt I was very unprepared and not ready for grade 8 math. Luckly, I got an amazing teacher that really got me up to speed and a lot more comfortable with the information I needed to know. I now feel more comfortable going into grade 9 math and I am for all of the challenges that will get thrown at me.

During the start of class I thought I was going to ace all of my tests and get full marks on everything, but in reality, that was never going to happen. All though, so far, I have gotten two 10/10 homework checks, I have aced a quiz, and I have gotten a high B on a test. Fortunately, I still have loads of room to improve. On the past test I got 29 1/2 out of 36. I made multiple little mistakes and there were questions from on our homework, from our homework, that I didn’t understand. I should have taken responsibility to ask questions about the problems I didn’t understand. I should also have slowed down on the test and checked over my answers another time just to catch any last little mistakes. I am going to continue to work hard on my homework, but I am going to try to speak up for myself and ask more questions.

By the end of the term, I truly believe I will be able to get an A in math 9. I believe I have good work habits and if I stay up to date with my homework and start to ask questions or book Mr. Raue for flex, I believe I will be able to maintain or even get my grade higher. I already have multiple assignments going towards my grade and I think if I keep going up with the quality of my work, I will be able to finish the class with an A. Getting an A in this class is a goal of mine, so it is up to me to achieve that goal.
