5 ways to be a better student

To succeed in high school, you have to listen, work hard, study, take notes, and think responsibly. I plan to listen to my teachers and to my classmates. This will help me because I will know things for tests and quizzes. I will work hard so I can get good grades. Working hard will help me in the future because it will make me more responsible and prepare me for college. I will take notes in class so that I can remember the things we learn and get in the habit of it. I will study off the notes I take so that I can get good grades and get into a good college. Finally, I will think responsibly and not procrastinate. I will make sure that I check my emails, do my homework, and am prepared for class. All these steps will make me a better student and prepare me for life after high school.

My second day

Today in class, Mr. Schick had to catch everyone up who didn't do their homework right. I was one of those people because I sent him the wrong link. It took most of the class to do this so we didn't really do a lot then. But, while he was getting people's emails and trying to help them, everyone else was socializing with their friends and making new ones. Mr. schick explained how we can find him in the morning or after school if we need him because he only teaches us in that classroom. After he caught everyone up, we went over the syllabus. He also explained how we can edit a blog if we need to add more or want to change it. He told us how the grading system works and that he doesn't give any extra credit because he doesn't think it's fair. By the time we did all this, class was basically over.

My first day

Today was my first day at John Carroll. All the teachers were nice and welcomed me. We didn't really do anything in the classes because it was the first day, but I think I'm going to like the classes. Today was mostly just going over class rules and procedures but it made me feel better about being at a new school with new kids. In the beginning of the day, we followed a 2 hour delay schedule and went to different places. First I went to the upper gym and got pictures taken for the yearbook and my student card. Then, I went to the lower gym to talk with some of the administers. After that, I went to the brown room and the auditorium. Finally, I went to the cafeteria. My first class was spanish, which was confusing but towards the end I got more comfortable. My second class was freshman seminar, then a STEM meeting. After that I had a free mod which I liked because I got to relax and take a break before going to classes again. The first day was stressful because I didn't know what to expect but I think it'll be good once I get used to private school.
