5 point action plan

My five point action plan to have an amazing freshman year at John Carroll starts with my school work. I came to John Carroll for a good education, so that is the most important thing. Second, I want to make the softball team. Making the softball team will help me make new friends. Which brings me to my third point, making friends. Having friends will make school more comfortable for me. Fourth, go to school events, you only have one chance to go to them in high school and I want to be able to look back at my high school days and say I did. Finally, to have fun because if your having fun your happy, and being happy is good.

8/28/13; Beginning to Blog


Today's class we mostly fixed our mistakes from our blog. And then we did basic first day school stuff because Mr. Schick was out the first day. I fixed my blog, I was one of the people that couldn't get theirs to work. But now it doesn't seem that confusing anymore. Also, Mr. Schick is really good at awkward long pauses, which is kind of creepy. Most of our homework will be from our blogs. Except for other bigger projects. We also need a journal for note taking and anything else that might come up. After our class, we have to post a blog about it for our homework. In the future when class starts to get going and we start to cover materials, our journals will be used a lot more and we could have projects. And we learned that if your absent you still have to complete your blog, but you just say that you were absent and why.

First Day


My first day of school was filled with joy, nerves, and excitement. When going for class to class, I got very nervous from the possibility of being late, getting lost, or forgetting something. Once I went from one class to the other, after the first time, it became a lot easier. My teachers were all very welcoming and nice. For my Monday schedule, my lunch is very short. So from rushing to get to lunch, then back to my next class was hectic. After giving my stomach a change to recover from the fast eating, I realized I really did have a good day. My favorite class so far was English, the teacher was very nice and I knew a lot of other kids in the class. I am defiantly looking forward to each class I have. Even though it will be my second day tomorrow, I still feel nervous because it will be my first official day from start to finish. The constantly changing schedule will take a few weeks to get used to but I can do it. From my good first day, my first year at John Carroll will be a great one.
