ELA and writing classes have always been my weaknesses and classes I desperately needed to improve on. If I was able to comprehend everything I read , it would definitely be an easier subject. Ways for me to improve in this is reading large books and ask my teacher for ways I can improve.

I'm part of a soccer club and when I had my first tournament I was very nervous.I practiced every week with my team and this was my first tournament,so I didn't want to mess up. I knew I had to keep myself together and focus on one goal. Winning. At the end I was able to persevere and reach my goal.

My long range goal is to graduate from high school with impressive grades. No matter the obstacles and difficulties I face I will surpass them with hard work and determination. Ways I can do that is by studying every week and not being shy to ask for help.

Two communities I am in is my soccer team and my group of friends. I'm involved with them because I go to practice and I am always with my friends. They support me by allowing me to talk about what I feel and giving me less stress.

A strong support person is someone that helps me talk about what's going on and someone who can help me with my choices. My mom is someone who I can talk to because I see her every day and I can talk to her about what's going on with my life and my problems.

Leadership can be presented in many ways such as affecting others choices and organizing others. I show leadership when I organize my teammates on the soccer field and influence other students make good choices.

Non-traditional Knowledge I have is playing sports every day. This allows me to enjoy my own life without having to worry about anything. Soccer and basketball make me feel happy and feel no stress. Also, it allows me to feel that my hardwork and dedication pays off.

Math is a subject that I know very well but at times I get bamboozled with new things we learn. If I was able to remember all the equations and order of numbers, It would definitely have an positive impact. Ways that I improved is taking my math binder home to study.

I am always deeply motivated to get good grades in all of my classes. Though, at times it's very difficult I try to persevere and pass all obstacles. I know I must try my best in everything and believe in my abilities in order to get good grades.

Leadership can be shown in many ways. I've shown leadership by leading others and influencing them at the Houston Food Bank. I took on the role and helped them do what they needed to do.
