Blog #1: Welcome Back to School!

1) This year, my goals are:
-to stay on top of all homework and assignments.
-to get in shape and start riding my bike more.
-to get my drivers license.
-to make new friends.

2)In humanities I hope:
-to become a better student my trying my hardest.
-to become a better writer by using the several new writing tips I learned at summer school.
-to become a better reader by annotating and reflecting until I fully absorb the content.
-to produce quality work that I am proud of.

3)A talent that I have and would like to develop further is gardening. Over the summer I had a job watering my neighbors plants while they were on vacation. At first I found it to be tedious and boring, until the third time I went. I learned to relax and feel the calmness wash over me. I can become one with nature in my neighbors miniature tropical rainforest. I hope to improve this hobby and turn it into a skill that I can use in the future.
