Portfolio - Improvement

Over the past two years, I have improved a lot I am not as immature as I was in middle school. My writing skills weren't that good because I used to not like to write I thought it was pointless. My writing skills are way better now I write how I am supposed to write for my grade. I improved my writing skills because I knew that it was a requirement for High School I started to practice my skills. I had very good reading skills in middle school but they improved in high school because I kept reading harder and harder books. My reading skills are a little bit better now because I already read high skilled books in middle school it got a little bit better because I kept reading and never stopped. My speaking skills before high school weren't as good as there are now because I used think that everytime I spoke in front of a group of people the would be talking about me. My speaking skills now are great because I am not afraid to speak in front of a crow and I don't care what people say about me anymore. I improved my speaking skills because I spoke in front of my family. My group-work skills before high school were horrible I didn't like working with people because they would irritate me if they did something wrong. My group-work skills are a lot better because I can work with people I don't like, I worked on group-work skills by having some patience. My technology skills were down the drain I hated technology, My technology skills are way way better now thanks to Ms. Priester. I improved my technology skills by being in Ms. Priester's class. I will keep having respect towards my teachers and I will keep doing the things I am doing now.

Greatest High School Obstacle

When I was in freshman year I didn't listen very well to intructions that came from adults and Ms. Priester told me to do an assignment that I didn't feel like doing and she sent me out to the hall and we both argued with each other. I felt mad because I knew even if I felt like I was right she was the teacher and she most likely would have won the arguememnt so there was no reason to even try arguing with her. The incident changed me because I learned not to argue with Ms. Priester because I would never win the arguement we would argue about.

Personal Changes Blog Paragraph

When I was a freshman, I was disrespectful. Now, I am respectful because I feel like I act different.
For example, people used to look down at me without respect. This shows that people didn't have respect for me because I didn't have respect for them. This also shows that I used to not get so many privileges that I get now because of my disrespect towards people. In addition, I now get a lot of respect from staff and teachers because I show respect towards them. This shows that I get more privileges from staff and teachers. This also shows that teachers and staff respect me now and take me more serious because of the respect I give to them. By my senior year, I hope to be one of the most respected students on campus and the most trusted.
