Reflection

A skill that I learned was when to use 'soy' and 'estoy' in spanish writing. One of the activities for this unit was making a song about when to use 'soy' and 'estoy'. That activity had a requirement of memorizing the whole song. So when we (we were in groups) presented we had to remember the whole song and that helped me do excellent on the "when to use 'soy' and 'estoy'" quiz because I remembered the song which had all the points for when to use 'soy' and 'estoy'.

A skill that I want to learn is how to write better as in good word choice and sentence structure because sometimes I choose good words so my grades get lower. Also because english is my 2nd language speaking so I want to learn harder words. I want to learn better sentence structure because I sometimes write sentences that doesn't refer to the topic and that gets me lower grades.

One example of how I showed kindness was when I made new friends and helped them get to their classes. I made new friends mostly that were in my class in the beginning of the year because they were easier to help. I stayed with them and showed around the school, where the P.E lockers are, how to open a lock, and so on. Soon I met new friends from other classes because of my friends (that I already met) and I sat with them at lunch.

The first goal for the New Year is making more friends from other countries. I chose this goal because when I first came to ISKL there were barely any Koreans so I had to speak in English every time to my friends and because I did talk in English (only in English) I got better in it. I learned new cultures and how to say 'hello', 'thank you' in other languages because I spend time with my friends. To reach that goal I will meet new friends at ISKL that are from different countries and help them get to classes, sit with them at lunch, help with they're lockers, and so on. Also I will ask their birthday, where they're from, what are their hobbies, and so on to know them better and ask them for a sleepover or invite them to my birthday party.

Another goal for the New Year is getting better grades. I sometimes loose my planner or pencils and leave my belongings in classes and that effected my grades. Also I get easily out of focus so I make careless mistakes on tests. To reach that goal I will keep track of my belongings and organize all my things before class and after class. I will wear a watch so I can be on time. Also I will study harder before tests and reread the questions on tests. I will go over my answers and try my best to get the right answers. I hope I get better grades in 2010! :P
