End of project blog !

Well this will be my last blog of my 8th grade year :( ! I loved telling everyone about my project and my goals i had set for this yes. I was really excited to tell them that I had accomplished my goal. They also seemed very proud of what I said. I had a survey out on my laptop to let them take the on their studying habits, some people had scored better that what i scored, and some saw that they needed to improve there studying skills. This was a very fun project ! I hope that we could do this project next year to accomplish more goals.

This I believe

The Unexpected

                        I’m here to tell you about the unexpected, the surprising, and the unforgettable moment. It happened when I was only in the fourth grade in 2010, when I was only 10 years old. This happened while I was almost by Tiger Town from leaving the hospital. My aunt, brother, little cousin, and grandma were involved. There was a car wreck that was about to happen, then all of a sudden BAM! A car hit us pretty hard out of nowhere, this happened unexpected. The van had flipped about three times. I didn’t know what was going on, I thought it was just a dream until I woke up and saw the back window shattered, glass was everywhere, and my lip was bleeding. There were a lot of people that got out of their cars to help us get out of the van, I remember a man picking me up to get me out of the van. The main belief of my memory was starting to believe that people really do have a good heart.  Self-control is one value I believe in because, I was able to control my behavior as I got out the car, and I didn’t panic as much as my brother did. I believe in loyalty, because I had faith in those people that help me and my family. I also believe in cooperation, because those people that helped me and my family cooperate with us to keep us calm, they even told us it was going to be okay. They kept cooperating with us until the ambulance got there. Honesty is another important value that I believe in. I believe in this value because, everybody that was in the car with me had to be honest with the police as they asked questions.  I also had to be honest when they asked me if I was wearing a seat belt, I told them the truth and said “yes.” I really believe that honesty plays an important part in people lives. Today I would want to tell people that before this event I thought that I was just going to get home safe. On that day I actually started to believe that people really do have a good heart because, so many people got out of their cars to help us out, and they didn’t leave until they knew for sure that we was okay.

My Speech

For this year 20% time I decided to work on having better studying habits. I’ve had major goals, and many road blocks. Studying isn’t really that bad once you get use to it. Studying everyday for about 15 minutes can make you remember a lot, but I had to face a lot of challenges when it comes down to studying.  What I did to remember when I needed to study was put it in a calendar or on my homework sheet. My goals were to have all A’s and B’s on every progress report. This was a very important goal I had planned throughout the school year. The biggest accomplishments I had was making a 100 on my test, and bringing a D up to a high C or to a B. I believe that if I never would have did 20% time I wouldn’t know how to study that good or I probably wouldn’t have had any studying goals I would’ve just went home to get into the bed and go to sleep.  At first I didn’t have no clue what 20% time was, and I thought that it would be boring, but doing this project was very fun and helpful. I am proud to say that I did accomplish my goal.

Last project !

Working on my project seems like it's going to be very fun. You can decorate your poster however you want it to look like. I like that you could put every blogger that you published for 20% time. You could also put cool pictures and things that you accomplished this school year for your goal. I hope that a lot of people like my project whenever i accomplish it !
