my 3 goals

My three goals that I have for next year is are to get commended in my TAKS test, get honor roll, get involved in more activities after school this are my main goals that I try to accomplish this year but I didn’t try as hard as I’m going to try next year.
My first goal was to get commended performance because; this is my third year taking TAKS  and I have never got commended in any of my Yaks tests I might get really close to get commended but, not really get commended . I want to feel how it feels to get commended I know I’m going to feel really proud of myself.
My second goal is to get in the honor roll list this year I almost got in honor roll but, there was always a class that I was failing but, next year I’m going to change that I’m going to try even  harder than this year I’m going to try my best every day
My last but not least goal is to get involved in more activities this year like in soccer etc. because, sometimes they help you when you don’t have good grades because, I know everyone has its ups and down and I’m one of them I really want to make a difference I really want to be successful and accomplish any goal.

ELA GPS

                     In the ELA rubric I graded myself and after  looking in which one I deserved I  got an “Proficient/collage Ready” which said that I analyze and evaluate the ideas and arguments in my position paper. I establish and maintain a clear controlling idea. I didn’t have any grammar errors. This project was just like Model UN but, just a little different because in this simulation we were discussing about Greek gods and how they should be punish.
                        This was not as easy as it seems because, you had to stick to your god’s personality so you had to be careful what you said. Thanks to the internet and all does web pages that give you information help me find great information about my god which was Hestia this character was challenging because, she believes in forgiveness and we had to find some way to punish him in a nice way where she didn’t have to use any kind of violence or anything like that. Google, yahoo, gmail etc. help me find the resources I was looking for to be almost the perfect personality of Hestia in my position paper and in the stimulation.
                           I establish a clear controlling idea about my punishment because; everyone was impressing of how my god really didn’t want any punishment since that doesn’t go with her personality. There were a few questions about why I didn’t want any punishment if he did something bad but there’s only one answer to all the questions they ask and that is that my god id is forgiven and doesn’t like punishing anyone.
                             Grammar errors where really important on how I graded myself too because that shows if I am “Emerging”, “developing”, “proficient/collage Ready”, “advance”. Since I use the computer is easy to see where you commit an error and it gives you several options to see what word you trying to use that is why I didn’t have any grammar errors.
                               My score “Proficient/Collage Ready” shows that I’m ready for collage because I try to be the best to be at “Proficient/Collage Ready” and this only shows that I can be collage ready if I try my hardest when doing my work everyday. I might not have got in “Advance” but if I continue that way I might get there one of these days I just need to keep trying my best.

English 1B

Who: Narcissus is hereby charged with the crime of vanity.
When/Where: Ancient Greece
Why: The Myth of Echo and Narcissus as told by Thomas Bulfinch
Name: Hestia 
           We gather today to discuss the crime of Narcissus. That has made me really upset because as the goddess of heart and home I do believe that what Narcissus did was wrong because in my home and what I believe vanity does not exist but for some gods in these case Narcissus vanity is the only thing that matters.
           Since I have  never punish anyone in the past we don’t really have comments about it .Hestia is more like an crane since that’s the animal that symbolize her the crane is a bird but, at the same time is different from all of them they like their own space and they fly different from the other birds. For me is like I like to take my own path I don’t like to follow my brothers and sisters I think in another way.
           I’m different from my brothers and sisters I’m not resentful person so I don’t believe in fighting or anything related to that. I’m more like a peaceful person and I do care about other people. Therefore I do believe they should forgive Narcissus .Because we all have make mistakes and there more terrible than what he did.
