We have spent the last two days thinking about personal and societal values. I wonder if people in this room have similar or different values? This idea of values will be a continuous discussion over the next several weeks as we begin reading in our text and our first novel.
For today's response, I want you to tell me how you feel after the first week of school. What are your hopes/goals for the school year and how do you plan on making these hopes/goals a reality? Your goals do not need to be all academic by the way. This is another way to get to know you the person.
Have a great weekend but behave!

Mr, Kay,
After the first week of school I feel pretty good. I got an understanding of what all of my classes are going to be. My main is goal is to keep a 3.95 or better for my grades. I plan on reaching this goal by working hard and focusing more on my studies this year. Another one of my goals is keep the friends that I have and make new ones. Another one of my goals is to get my varsity letter in soccer and in wrestling. This can be accomplished by working extremely hard and staying conditioned. My final goal is to help my club soccer team in to first play in our league because we can win and I know it.

After the first week of school I'm kind of nervous because I know that all of my classes are going to get harder. One of my main goals is to make the honor role. I would like to have a GPA of at least a 3.05. I will reach this goal by turning in all of my homework and studying. One other goal is to start to go to O.C.C. so i can get my prerequisites done so I can become a R.N.

well i would have to say my frist week of school was pretty boring. I like all my teachers so far, there all pretty sweet. My goals for the year is to past all my classes with at least a B. I want to make alot of new friends, while keeping my old. I also want to make the varisty competitive cheer team. This all can happen by doing all my homework, studying for test, and paying attention in class. Making new friends i will talk to more people and become unshy. And making the varisty cheer team i will be tight, and loud and everyhting else it takes to be a varisty cheerleader. (:
All these things are very important to me, and i will work hard to make them happen. (:
Mr. Kay,
After my first week of school I have enjoyed myslef quite a bit. Obviously Im not happy that I'm in school but its just about as good as school can get. I am really happy about the teachers I have. They seem nice and energetic. I am looking forward to doing better as far as GPA goes this year. I think I will but i think it will be a lot harder because of my harder and more time needed classes. One of my other goals is to play for my varisty baseball team to go further than we did last year, which will hopefully be past regionals.

This week of school was alright. I like all of my new classes. I just have to get used to having a bunch of homework again. My main goal for this year is to understand and pass with a B or higher in Geometry. I plan on reaching this goal by taking good notes, paying attention in class and asking the teacher for help if I don't understand something. Another goal I have is to improve at football. When I get to Varsity I want to be a starting Offenceive linemen. I can do this by staying in shape durring the winter and keep going to the weight room.

Mr.Kay,
This school year i have many hopes and goals for academics and sports. My first week of school went by fast and was really boring. My first goal is to get a 3.5 or above GPA for the whole year. I can make this happen by using my planner all year because i used it the first week and got all my homework done and got an 100% on a test. Also, i want to have a winning record in football, basketball and golf. I can make this happen by being a leader. Plus i would like to try and get my varsity letter in golf but i will have to try hard and golf as much as possible. My last goal is to not get into any trouble. This one i can do by not hanging out with the wrong people.

Mr. Kay,
The start of this year seems like its going to go well. I'm glad that I got prepared from my freshmen year. By this I know what to exspect, and how to fix my problems. And I need to fix, my grades and my attitude. I sometimes blurt out, and don't listen. So, I want to keep my grades up, and have a positive attitude. Also, I tried really hard to get my spot on the JV cheerleading team, for the football season. Now, my goal is to keep my spot work for varsity, maybe i'll make the competive season.
Have a good weekend!

After the first week of school I am fairly happy with the way everything is going. All of my teachers are really cool, and I have a lot of friends in every single class that I have. As far as goals go for this school year, I am striving to hold a 4.0 GPA the whole year. To achieve that, I need to never give up, and remember that schoolwork is on the top of my priority list. Outside of school, my goals are to do well in football, and make the varsity lacrosse team. Overall, I am satisfied with how the first week of school has gone, and I hope to achieve these goals I am set for myself.

To get these good grades I plan on studing hard and doing good on test. I also want to try my hardest to get my varsity letter in Soccer or Basketball. This will take alot of hard work and practice. these are my goals for this upcoming year.

After the first week of school, I have only made a couple goals. My first would have to be that I want to make honor roll. My second goal is that I want to make my mom proud of me. I know that I don't have a lot of goals for the school year but I do for life. My goal after high school I want to join the United States Airforce. I also want to become a pedactrics nurse.
Even though I didn't go to school on friday the first week of school seemed pretty good. The most important goal for me this year is to make high honors. This goal is extremely important to me because I really want to be a top student in my class. Another one of my goals is to start on the varsity basketball team. I have dedicated my entire life to basketball and with my brother playing in college next year I have some big shoes to fill. The last goal I can think of is to make friends with all my teachers. I really like to have a good relationship with my teachers because they can tell other teachers that I might have in the future that im a good student.
Mr. Kay,
Even though the first week of school was extremely boring I like my classes. Some of my goals this year is to keep my GPA above 3.5. Hopefully I will make the varsity hockey team and the winter and I play varsity golf in the spring. Im going to have to work hard this year to achieve all of those goals. Also, I would like to try and make some new friends this year. Its always cool talking to new people. I hope I can accomplish everything I want.

After the first week of school i thought it was hard to get used to waking up early and getting in the habbit of going to school everyday. My goals are to try my hardest at everything i do and never to give up no matter how hard it gets. I also what to get good grades like a,b and c's. How i plan to do this is by trying an doing all my homework and trying to be at school everyday. I also want to get good grades on test by studying hard and asking the teacher if i dont get something. i want to get atless a 3.0 gpa.
Mr.Kay,
My first week of school was really boring. I think I have some really great teachers. My goal is to have a 3.5. Also, not to miss as many days of school as last year because of seizures. Also, I hope to make the softball team this year. To accomplish these goals, I need to study and work hard. I will try not to get easily frustrated and I will ask the teachers more questions.

Well after the first week of school i'm already sick of it tot ell the truth. I'm not really able to focus that much. One of my hopes/goals for this year is to have good grades. That's my main goal, i also hope to be able to not be so shy around people. For me to get good grades i beleive thatall ihave to do is do all my work and pay attention in class. Now the notbe so shy part is going to be hard for me :). I think that all i have to do for that is try to make more friends and get more comfortable around people.
The first week of school wasn't that bad but I really miss summer. I like all my classes and teachers so it should be a good semester. I hope I can do better with my grades. They weren't bad last year but I didn't really try my hardest. This year I'm going to pay attention more in class and study for tests. I also hope to do well in tennis this spring and get to know everyone on the team.

Mr. Kay,
I am glad to be back to school because of my friends not because of the school work part. My biggest goal for this year is to be an all A - B student, I think it will make my parents really proud of me. Another goal of mine is to get my driving permit this year. I think that by keeping up with my homework and by turning things in on time, it will help alot with going for my goals.

After the first week of school i feel like this year is going to be a pretty good year. my goals for the year is to pass all my classes with at least a B or above. I plan on reaching my goal by asking my mom or my cousin Eddie Ferrell for help. Another one of my goals is to pass all my midterms and finals, so I will have the chance to go to a good collage. I will pass them by studying hard before i take them. I have to say I do not like to read but i will try to not slack off and not read.
I think I did pretty good my first week in school. One of my goals I have set for myself is to maintain above a 3.0 gpa so that I can get my drivers license. My parents said I have to get good grades or I am not going to be driving. Another goal of mine is to have a successful season in football. We havent started off good in the season but I hope we are able to pick it up and move on. I also want to make the varsity lacrosse team in the spring. My last goal for the school year is to not get myself into any deep trouble. I need to perform my best so that I can accomplish these goals.

Judging by this first week of school, it seems like my sophmore year is going to be good. I have a better feel for the school and I really like my classes for the year. My hope for the school year is to maintain my grades, but also to enjoy the year. Last year all I looked forward to was the weekend or summer, and the school year flied by. Looking back at it now, I was so focused on getting out that I missed out on a lot feshman year. So my goal is to enjoy the school year. I also want to stop procrastinating because I'll procrastinate when I have a project due. I think I'll be able to do this by reminding myself of what I have got to do.

This first week of school was really good. I like my classes alot and I have alot of my friends in them. I started the tennis team and I hope to get better at that. Also, I want my G.P.A. to be around 3.5 because my aunt said she'd buy me a car! I'm doing track in the fall which I'm really excited about because I think we'll have a good team this year. I think this sophmore year will be better than freshman because your moving up the chain and your not the little kids on campus. So overall I think I'm gonna like this year.

Mr. Kay,
The first week of school was very swell, simple, but very boring. Mainly we had plenty of rules and guidelines drilled into are head for the week. I sure the rest of the year will get a whole lot better and more interesting. My priorities in school is to do what I have to in school so I can do well, but I don't want to be very prioritized with school. I just don't want it to be the only thing I think of and work on in this year. I get annoyed with school easy and I think if I have others things to be busy with, I will do better in school because I wont be trying to hard and worrying about studying and stuff. Although I will still study and work hard, I just don't want to lose fun and obsess over school. I plan on doing this by progressing what I like to do in my free time more often. This could make me a more well rounded student. I would also like to start writing during the year to. I would like to write poems and songs and a couple other forms of writing. These are my goals of the year.

Now that I have experienced my first four days of school I feel stressed and comfortable at the same time. One of the goals for this school year is to be able to manage sports and school work better. I think that to do this I will have to Use my class time wisely and use free time to get work done. Another goal for this year is to get A's and B's. To do this I will have to study for tests and quizzes and turn in all my homework. My last goal that I will explain is to have a great season. I know that everyone one my team can do this by takeing advantage of pratice and working really hard.

I'm worn out. Hahaha, no it's alright, most of my classes are pretty cool. I know I'm going to have a lot of projects which I'm dreading because projects and presentations are really the only reason i dislike school. My goals are to be on the varsity golf team. I'm going to try to get an A in each class. I also want to get into a kickboxing class and sweet abs. Hahaha, I can do it i just have to stay organized and keep my hopes up.

I still can't believe that we're actually in school. I feel like summer has gone too fast and now its back to reality. This year I have many goals. On the top of my list is continuing to do well in school although it will be harder this year with harder classes and a foreign language that I don't understand at all. I also want to join lacrosse and do well in it. While I accomplish these things, I want to be as happy as possible and to keep an open mind. I also want to try some new things and meet some new people.

Mr. Kay's,
This first week has had it's ups and downs. It's still hard to believe that I'm now a sophomore, and that school has already begun. My goals for this year, is going to be studying much harder than I have in the past. Also, I would like to raise my GPA. I am on the Varsity Pom team I would like to work really hard, to become a better pommer. How can I accomplish these goals I have set? Well, I am going to put more effort into my school work, and spend more time on my academics rather than my social life. For poms, I'm going to continue going to the work outs, so I can build some muscle to help me later.

Mr Kay,
Like most kids in our class i was not happy for school to start. After the first day, my thoughts on sophmore year werent too good. But, since i have settled in to new classes and c lunch, im doing better. I hope on getting a 3.8 or higher this year. To do this i need to help myself keep school my first priority. Some other goals i would like to accomplish is to win nationals for hockey, and get in the top four in the Omaha Summer baseball classic. I really need to not worry about other extra curricular activities other than school and sports and work hard. Im very excited for a new year and am looking to having alot of fun.

The first of school was good. It was nice to see everyone, and see some of the teachers I had last year. I love the fact im not a freshman anymore because everyone gives them such a hard time, including me, although that how it was for me. My goals for this year are to stay focused because I can tell classes are going to be hard, and if I goof off I could get lost and have no idea what to do. I also plan to not have any missing assignments, a simple thing like that could ruin your grade for yourself. Another goal for myself, is to try another sport. Ive been playing soccer all my life and nothing else, it would be nice to play something like baseball for whole new experience.
After this first week of school, I feel a little overwhelmed. It usually takes a couple weeks to adjust, so I'm hoping the stress level will go down a little. One of my goals is to meet new people and make new friends. Another is to not get frustrated if I don't get an A all the time. School isn't about getting A's, it's about learning and doing your best. Finally, I really want to help my pom team be successful at the state competition this year and be more of a leader rather than just letting other people take all the responsibilities.

I feel very comfortable after the first week.I think as long as I can keep doing my home work and studying I should be fine.I hope to get good grades and try not to get stressed out.I also hope to improve in tennis so I have a shot at varsity next year.I will achieve this by giving it my all on the courts and showing up to all of the practices.I also hope to see improvement with my anger at home.I cold handle this maybe by just leaving the situation.I hope to see myself grow and learn from achieving these goals.

After the first week of school i feel pretty good. I know where all my classes are and didn't get lost. My goal for this year is to get a 4.0 and keep it at that. I can reach this goal by studying for all my tests and making sure i do all my homework. Another goal of mine is to make the competitive pom team. To make that goal I just need to work harder and work on routines more. I can also work out more and stay conditioned.

After the first week of school, i feel better about knowing my way around the school. The first week of school was really boring. My goals for the school years is to pass all my classes, and stay on the honor roll, the whole year. Also to get good grades om all my test, because i am not a very good test taker. I hope this wil be a good year, and i will have fun. I would like yo get into a good college and get a good job. Hopefully i can meet my goals this year.
This year i hope to get a GPA of 3.5 or higher. Last year i didn't put in as much effort as i should have. This year im going to study for tests, and make sure i have all my assignments in on time. For tennis, i wanna make varsity. In order for me to get into the colleges i want, i have to improve my grades. I have realized that education is very important. Hopefully, i wil have a successful year.

honestly, after the first week of school i was disappointed. i thought this year was going to be better than freshman year, but it is not working out that way. i am just going to have to look at everything in a differnet way and make a positive outcome.my goal is to exceed my coaches expectations for soccer. i am working way harder than i ever have to get ready for the next season.also i want to get good grades and meet new people. i don't even know like half of the freshman class because i went to a private school.

Wow, the first week of school has been hectic. First i get settled in to my classes then i get switch and have to start all over again with new classes with a really hot teacher Haha. My goals for this year are to not get board with my classes and also to win a real varsity tennis match that is counted. And to win the new division. Which is very possible this year.
"For today's response, I want you to tell me how you feel after the first week of school. What are your hopes/goals for the school year and how do you plan on making these hopes/goals a reality? Your goals do not need to be all academic by the way. This is another way to get to know you the person."
my first impressions of the tenth grade and what actually has happened so far do not match up. Because, in honesty, the topics are not as hard as i pre-conviced the to be. i had originally thought that my classes would be a lot tougher than what they are right now.
I mean, geometry is just like 3rd grade, we are learning about lines, but there is very little more to what we are learning than what we learned in 3rd grade. Its to simple right now, which i like, because i can actually completely finish all of my homework for math (which is not a first, but i occasionally did not complete my algebra homework).
My second hour is perfect, we just get to sing, and i literally laugh the whole hour because everyones always just really funny. this hour is the highlight of my day, because no one is rude to me in here, and i can freely speak my mind. Plus i get to hang out with older kids, and become better friends with them. And we always have the inside jokes.
My 3rd hour consists of a bunch of people who would care less to be there, which they are intentionally making the class harder on the teacher and themselves. I Hate/like this class, because i hate that everyone treats the teacher like s**t, i also hate the fact that we can not really get anything done in the class. but my positive thing in this class so far is that we have ben doing project, which do not really require you to take them home.
In 4th hour, we have not done anything more than just chill out and play super famicom (nerd allusion right there) games on the computers. this is a pretty fun class, but i am expecting it to get harder, due to the fact that we have to do a typing program, which i hate using. i also hate how the keyboards at school always have the clickity sound.
5th hour is alright. this is the second funniest hour for me. i know that it will get harder, as do all lit classes.
6th hour is pretty normal, with the hardest task so far being taking notes, i am uncertain to expect of this class could get harder or not.
My goal for this year academically is to achieve a B+ or better in my classes. i, in all honesty, have no other goal that i can think of at this time. i can care less about everything, because the only thing standing between me and earning my parents confidence more in me, is good grades, which i am not so hot at achieving. My plans for making this goal a reality is to forget about all other outside things, and finish the work first, above all other things; No exceptions

the first week of school was over whelming, not that its hard just that it's hard getting back into the move of things. My goals for this year are just to actually turn all my work in. With me it's not always that i dont understand but more that i dont do my homework. I hope to keep at least a 3.5. These goals are gonna be hard but I know i can at least try my best. Other then that im just planning on having a lot of fun in your class =) and working very hard to participate in class.
Mr. Kay,
Honestly, after the first week of school, i'm exhausted! And already want school to be over. My biggest goal for the school year, is trying my hardest to get on the honor role. Also, to get a 3.0 or higher all through the school year. I plan to do this by, doing all of my homework, and studying for all my tests and quizzes. Finally, to stay focused in class, and to try not to procastinate.
After my first week of school I have enjoyed myslef quite a bit. Obviously Im not happy that I'm in school but its just about as good as school can get. I am really happy about the teachers I have. They seem nice and energetic. I am looking forward to doing better as far as GPA goes this year. I think I will but i think it will be a lot harder because of my harder and more time needed classes. One goal that i have is to make varsity wrestling.
john mclean
I enjoyed my first week of school. I have a few goals for this year. One of the goals i have is to get good grades. Last year my grades sucked. I hope to at leats get a c- or above. I hope to achieve this goal by turning in all h.w. and getting good grades in tests. Another goal I have is to get to know all my teachers. That can be a great advantage. If I need some one to voach for me I could get one of my teachers. But i have to know them well. (not too well though) I hope we have a great year mr.kay.
