At the beginning of the year when we talked about how important 8th grade is, it really got to me. My past years in middle school, I just blew everything off because i didn't really care. Like if we had a test, i wouldn't study, if we had a big homework assignment, i wouldn't do it. I did this because i would think to myself and say “Oh well, it doesn't matter anyways”. But this year i realized that it actually does. Im almost in high school. 8th grade is preparation of high school. So everything i do in 8th grade, will affect my life and education. So i set myself some goals this year. To be successful this year, i decided i needed some goals for school. I decided that even if the homework is long and is gonna take time, i still need to do it because it does matter. Even if i know what's on the test, i still need to study because it does matter. Even if my friends make bad decisions, i don't need to follow them, because it will matter if i get in trouble. Almost everything i do this year, WILL matter.

I'm really enjoying my 8th grade year. A Lot of things are really different, but life is full with changes and this is just the beginning. If i would have to choose, i would say this is my best year so far. Not just at the middle school, but the best overall. At the beginning of the year, i set goals, as stated before, but i've not been focusing on them. Towards the end of the quarter i started slipping. Nt during my homework, not studying, just like last year. But i'm determined to not do that in Quarter 2. I'm not the same as i was in 7th grade and i'm gonna go back to that. Last year i didn't want to do anything. I didn't feel like my homework was important or studying was going to help. But this year i'm gonna do my best and do whatever i have to do to get the best grade i can!
In Language Arts class, there is a big difference from this year and last year. I feel that i'm doing a lot better this year. Last year i felt was very hard. We always did the same things over and over again. I can better understand the materials this year with all of the videos, and activities we do. Last year, we just read a paper and answered questions about it, and i wasn't understanding it. I think this year will be a big change and it will be good. It will reflect on my experience in highschool, and my future
