My Challenge of Eighth Grade One of my challenges for my eighth grade year is to get A’s and B’s all four grading periods. I have never had trouble with grades but I have noticed that as I get older I have to work harder to maintain good grades. The assignments and test have become more challenging and harder to pass.
