Another card mark down. I did very well this card marking and was pleased with my grades. My goal was a 4.0 and I came pretty close with the exception of a B+ in Chemistry. I accomplished my goals thus far this year and will continue to work hard the rest of the school year. I struggled with Chemistry and came in early and stayed late - so I was pleased with the B+ I earned. Yes, I take pride in what I have accomplished. I spent many hours studying and a lot of hard work. In order to succeed you have to put all of your effort and set your priorities. I will continue to work hard for the rest of the school year. My goal is to get into a good college and pursue my career.
The first card marking I think I would have done better. But at the end i pulled up two of my grades. Uhm i wasnt rally please with my performance this gard marking. I didnt really put any effort into my school work. And didnt really care to be honest. I did have pride in the work i did because i actually did my homework. My true goals for te second cardmarking are you keep my grades up to at least a B- and the lowest a C+. I wil attain them by studying more for test. I do all my homework, but the tests are what brings my grades down. And also paying more attenton to what my teachers are saying.
Mr. Kay,
I am so happy with my grades for this last cardmarking. I got one A, three B's, and two C's. Thats the best I have done in a while. My parents are so proud of me. I have showed them that I can get good grades, and that I can accomplish what I thought was the impossible. For this next term, I'm going to try and go for all A's and B's. My dad believes I can do it, and so do I. I am trying to learn new ways to study, ways I can get an easy A or B. Im not going to settle for C's anymore, I have more potential than that. Plus I want to be able to do things with my friends.

well i did pretty shitty and that your class is gay. I was not pleased with my performance because i just didnt care about it period and i still dont. Like i said i was not abel to have pride in my work because i feel like your to demanding and expect to much out of us its fucking redicilous how much you want out of us in such a little amout of time. Oh and becausr your class is to hard. Well my goals.... my goals would be to do what ever i can to pass your dumb class and assignments. Now that would be all.

Tell me how you feel you did in the first cardmarking of the second semester. Where you pleased with your performance? Were you able to truly have pride in the work you were doing? Why or why not? What are your true goals for the 2nd cardmarking of this semester and how will you attain them?
Overall i think that i did very well this card marking. I also believed that i took pride in my work but not too much to where it consumed my life. i felt like i balanced things well. Overall i had 5 A's and one B+. i had the B in math which is my hardest class. i hope that i will improve my grade for this card marking. My goals for the this card marking are to get all A's, or at least get my grade in math up to an A-. I think that thats plausible i might just have to work a little harder than i did last term.
How I think I did during the first cardmarking was not so good. I think the reason why is because I missed alot of school. No, I was not pleased with my performance in some classes. Well I was pleased with my performance in math and science for sure. I was able to have pride in the work I was doing because I was staying after school to get help on work or makeup the work I missed. The goals for this cardmarking are to study alot more, ask teachers questions if I don't know something. Another goal would be is to be a better note taker.

This past cardmarking i think i did pretty good. I didnt do the best that i could but i still tryed my hardest. Overall, i got 3 A's and 3 B+'s. I was pretty pleased with my performance because so far thats the best grades that ive gotten this year, so i was proud of myself. Because i tryed my hardest, and did the best that i could, i think that i had pride in my work. My ultimate goal for this cardmarking is to get at least a 3.5 GPA or higher. To do this i will study ahead of time for tests and quizzes instead of studying the morning of the tests. And also make sure i complete all my homework.

One card marking down, three to go. It seems this school year has just been flying by. I believe I did fairly well in the first card marking. I had pretty good grades even though I was going through a lot last card marking. All of my grades were either As or Bs, for the exception of my C in your Lit class Mr. Kay, which I believe I deserved better. I believe this mainly because for the first week(s) I did my blogs late because I thought that the agreement we came to was in effect. But by surprise you told my mother it wasn't and that they were considered late. After my mom explained to you the circumstances under which were led to believe the agreement was in effect you said you would give me the points for the blogs, but you never did. I hope that in this new card marking I will do just as good as the last if not better.

I thought the first marking period of the second semester went pretty well for me. i maintained a 4.0 GPA however I had to work much harder than I did in the previous terms. I was loaded up with many assignments and projects in the first week. I completed everything and I worked for it all too. I did maintain my pride. I never cheated on anything in this past term. i asked people for some help however, for the most part I did it all on my own. Another reason why I think I maintained my pride is because I never gave up and my work was quality. I actually tried to get my work done at the highest possible level I have. One of the goals that I have for myself in the second term in the second semester is to maintain my 4.0 GPA. Another goal i would like to achieve is to keep up the quality of my work. I think I can achieve these goals by working with pride and trying hard my classes.

last cardmarking i think i did alright. last blog we did about our goals for the semester i said i was going to try to get some kind of an A in the clas and i did. i just did all my work and studied. i worked hard on our group project and tried on vocab quizes. i feel like i did everything i needned to do and was pleased with my grade. higher goals i could reach for would be to make my A- an A and do better on the grammar quizes. i just have to remeber to look over my grammar notes the before the quiz and keep up the work i am doing.
Mr. Kay,
I was pretty happy with my grades last card marking. My parents are starting to gain more trust in me as far as school work goes. I had an A or a B in every class except yours. I just need to do good on your vocab tests and I will be good. Overall I was pleased with my grades. I hope to get a few more A's next term. I did have pride in my work. I kind of started having it a little bit late in the school year, but its better late then never.

Mr. Kay,
One the first marking period of the latest semester, I had all A's and one or two A-'s. I felt I definitely did well and I was happy with my success and it's not like it took to much. I felt like I work hard for these grades, but I realized it wasn't so much work that I would expect it would take to get an A. I think I was able to take true pride in my work because I was really content with my work. I also put real honest effort into it and did it to what my standards were. My true goal on the present card marking is to just do what I did last semester. I think that is the way I really want to do my work and it will get me far. I will simply do this just by trying, putting for real effort, making something I am pleased with, and also keeping my work to myself. I think that this is a really ideal plan.

In the second semester I think I put in a lot of effort. In all my classes I pushed my self to do better overall and I think I did it. I tried to study for all my quizess and tests and I took notes. In terms of grades they didnt do a whole lot better but I feel I did better with my effort. I had a lot of pride in the work I am doing. I have a lot of goals I want to meet this semester and a lot of them have to be met with school work and grades. I have to do better becasue I want to get a good education for my life and succeed. My true goals I have for this semester is to get a 3.0 so that I can get my car. Other than that just pass all my classes and earn my letter for varstiy lacrosrse.

Ugh. More reminders on how bad I'm doing in school again. Well, if you must know, I'm pleased with what I did this card marking. I think I did better than I normally did, and that's good, right?
I have pride in my work, but I feel like life went by too quickly for me to actually know what I was doing. You know, if people had told me that I had to work my rear off graduating in a Recession I probably would've done better.
I'm gonna try to work harder so people will get off my back. Unlike everyone else's weed addiction, I'm obsessed with drawing. I can't seem to stop drawing, because it's my way to vent. If I didn't draw, I probably WOULD have a drug addiction. There would be NOTHING for me to do, and I'd be completely bored. D:
I want to get better. I really do. But I feel more overwhelmed than I probably should in only my sophomore year. D:

my word verification thingy was bootled. :p
I was very pleased with how I did the 1st cardmarking. One of my main goals was to get an A in Spanish and I accomplished that. And I can say that I truly had pride in my work, I worked hard and it paid off. My goals for the 2nd cardmarking is to get an A in Spanish again, and try to bring the B's I had up to A's. Another goal is to do better on the grammar section of the vocab/grammar test. I can attain these goals by studying for tests and doing homework. Another way I can attain the goals I have is by having pride in my work and actually learning the information not just doing the work.

I feel that I did not do so well for the first part of the semester. The reason was that I did not study for the vocab quiz and did not do my blogs right. For the second half I started focusing more on what I need to do to.
I feel pleased that I had gotten a B- in this class. If only I had not messed up on the first part of the semester I might have had an A-.
I was only able to have pride in the work that I was doing with true effort. I can’t have pride in the work that I did half hearted. My goals are to do all my blogs, get all worksheets done, and study more for my test. I will achieve that by asking my parents to help me.
I think i did pretty goood this first cardmarking i got all A's and B's, only two B+,s in my two hardest classes spanish and LA. English was never easy for me and learning a new language is never going to be easy so i am very pleased to get a B+. Just maybe if i studyed a little more for a vocab quiz in LA or in spanish both grades could have been A-'s but serves me right to do bad if i dont study. Yes i did take pride in my work but somethimes i wish i would have put in just a litte bit more so i would not be looking back at the those quiz grades. My goals for 2nd cardmarking are to get all A's so that when is comes to the semseter grade i will have all A's and A-'s. To get the goals i am going to have to prepare myself better for all those little quiz that add up to such a large part of my grade, and get past the last second studing. Its the vocab in both classes that i need to improve on which can be down as easyly as looking over vocab ever night for just 5-10 mins, would make all the differnce in the quiz scores.
Shaun Gerber
I think I did really good on the first marking period. I was pretty pleased with my performances. I did not copy my work or anything like that so I'm able to have pride in it. However, I have been doing some stuff last minute so I can't say it's my best. I got my vocabually quizes up which is what I was trying to do. However, I still don't study them the night before, but the class before. It seems to be working out fine, but I should probually try harder when it comes to vocabally. My goal is to do really good on this project. Also, to keep my grade up.

First card marking i didnt do as well as i wanted to and i know that now. this card marking i am going to step it up. i am going to do all my homework and all my blogs and hope for all C's. I am going to study and do better on my tests. The homework is the thing i need to mostly work on and i just need to remember to do it. I am going to put my full effort into school and hope for the best. I went through a lot of hard times last card marking and i am just going to forget about it all and start new.
Alex MArtin
I think I managed to do pretty well on the first card marking. I got all A's and B+'s which is always my goal. I try not to get anything lower than a B+. I was pleased with these grades because I was able to maintain the same grades which has kept my GPA at about the same. I took pride in my work at that is how I got these grades. I tried my hardest on pretty much all of my homework. For the 2nd cardmarking, I would like to get a 3.8 or higher. All I need to do is get my B+'s to A-'s. By doing this I can accomplish my goal and set a new one.

In the first card marking of the second semester, I am mostly proud of my performance. I did get the grade point I had aimed for, but just barely. I think I have gotten progressively lazier, and in some classes have stopped trying. I know in lit class in particular, I had forgot to do some of my blogs, and I had stopped studying for the Friday quizzes. Yesterday while I was taking the quiz I realized I really need to start studying again. This goes for all my classes. Every semester I say I am going to study better, but I have yet to do that. My goals for the second semester are to achieve the grades that I want, but with having pride in my work while doing so. I think that if I work for the grades I get, instead of just barley getting them, I will have more pride in my work. Overall, I am still proud of what I have accomplished because I haven't let my grades drop.
My goal about school works, at first, was "doing my best". And actually I got 4.0, too. However I couldn't be really satisfied with not what I'd done but how I'd done in last MP. Since I'm not a native English speaker, I still have some kinds of listening problems, and I used to, at first I came, begged to other people pardons to tell me over and over again. Maybe it was because I'd put as much pride as I wanted to. But not was in last marking period. When there was some words that I didn't catch or understand, I just skipped it, and I didn't even try to look for them even at home. Even still, those of my laziness and lack of pride in myself didn't pull my grade down, I couldn't feel proud of myself, and the grade I got felt as if it was not mine.
Now as starting a new marking period, I'm trying to go back to the time, I was passionate about my works. In other words, I'll burn myself up with prides, and get 'the golden ashes' back.
I feel I did great, but not up to my full potential. I believe I can get a 4.0, although getting a 3.7 isnt bad either. I got all A's except in your class, thanks for the help. I always have pride in what I do. If you dont, then your not gonna have quality work. Summer is drawing near, and my goal is to keep up the good grades even with the distraction of summer. Everyone is going to be excited, although for me, if I dont get good grades to close out the year, mother will have my head. To attain a great summer, I need to stay focused on school. Their are going to be great distractions soon and I need to stay focused on what is going to make or break my summer.
deeeeeeeeeettttttttttttttssssssssss
For my first marking period I did pretty good. I was happy with my grades and thought that good. I could have done better with sertain things like getting in a few late assinments or doing dumb mistakes. My second marking peroid was a bit better and I was a bit happyer. I thought that I did well and did better than last time. My goals for this new cardmarking is to not get lazy and make dumb mistakes. I would like to have no late work and remember to study for things. I have to study more sometimes I feel that I don't learn that much in some of my classes, so I have to teach myself. But this year I think I going to do good.

I feel this card marking went by so fast. I felt i did better int his card marking. i didn't get and D's i got all the passing grades i needed. i feel good about it to. i finally get to take drivers education. so soon enough i will have my liscence. i will be driving with you Mr Kay. So look out. I hope to keep my grades up for this semester and keep it going.
In the last card marking i felt like i could of tried harder. I am again not so happy with my attendence even though i try not to miss alot of days it just doesnt seem to work out for me. I am not happy because this has been a bad school year for me. I am passing all my classes but one. My goal was to pass each class i passed all but language arts i dont get why its so hard for me.I dont get why its such a challenge for me. My goals are to try very hard in language arts and pass. I will do this by being there everyday and asking help if i need it.

I felt that I did as well as I wanted to the first term of the second marking period. I got all As an I thought I took pride in my work in this class. My groups poster for of mice and men was good and I thought we worked hard on that. I was getting a little worried because I had a 92.87 in the class but I brought it up to complete my 4.0. My goals for this new marking period are to get As in all my classes especially lit because I think that's my hardest class at this point. I also want to continue to take pride in my work and keep on working hard so that I will have a good future. This past marking period I didn't procrastinate about doing things and I hope to continue that this term. I know that the value of going to school is to actually learn thngs so that when you get intothebreal world you will know what's going on. That's what I hope to achieve.
Well i did really good last semester. well at least i think for lit being my worst subject. I got a B. (:. I don't think i have ever done that good ever in a lit class. i was really proud of my self when i found out i did so well. so were my parents. and yes i was able to have pride in my work that i did. Know that i got a B to me it means no i can always keep a B. My goal for this semester is to get a B or higher. I would like to do better but i would be happy with a B. I always want to do better on the grammar part of the quizzes. i think that's what is holding me back.
I felt like I could have done better then what I did. I wasn't really happy with how I did because I know and people have told em I could have done better. I was kinda able to have pride in what I was doing because I did well in a few classes but not that great in others. I really want to get my grades up this card marking because I need to. For this card marking I will work hard to keep focused. I have a tendency to not care as school goes on. I really need to break that habit and get everything together.

Here we are a week into the new cardmarking. Tell me how you feel you did in the first cardmarking of the second semester. Where you pleased with your performance? Were you able to truly have pride in the work you were doing? Why or why not? What are your true goals for the 2nd cardmarking of this semester and how will you attain them?
Another card marking towards the end and i am very pleased with my grades. My goal was to atleast get a 3.8 and i achieved that with flying colors. I have always had problems with some classes and i worked alot harder than i did before to get those grades up. Next, i can honestly say that i had much more pride in my work then i did before. I had made an effort to do all of my homework and study for quizzes the night beforeinstead of just saying "screw it" and getting the words the day before.
for the second card marking i would like to again get a 3.8 atleast, because if it worked once to motivate me, it will again. I think i will just keep doing what i am doing and everything grades wise will be where it needs to be.
state semifinals tonight.

I was really pleased with how I did in this card marking. I ended up with a really good grade and I think it worked really hard. I studied for all my vocab tests and turned in my homework. I think this card marking will be a little harder so I might not do as well. However Im going to try my best, and try to bring up my grades in my other classes. As far as my goals Im going to just try to maintain decent grades. In the future I hope to get all a's. For now though I just want to try my best and improve my grades.
For the first card marking I think I did alright. I know I can do much better. Right now I'm getting A's and B's but I know I can get more A's. I have to learn how to balance all the new things in my life so that none will suffer. I did have pride in most of my work. I dont think I was proud to get a D on one of my tests, but I am proud that I poorly earned that D instead of cheating. For the second cardmarking I really want to get a 3.8. I have done it before but I just need to stop being lazy and get stuff done. What I really need to to is just study for tests. I mostly get A's on assignments, but do alright or poorly on tests.

Mr.Kay,
This card marking I was actually pretty proud of myself. Minus a few things that i wasnt happy with, but overall i think i did pretty well for me. As for pride, well i think i have pride in my work. I mean, i didnt cheat or anything. But maybe not complete pride becasue some of the stuff i know i could have put more effort into. Goals for this new cardmarking include putting forth my full effort. But, already i know i havent. i really just want to see what kinds of grades i can get if i truly try with my full potentail. Which is easier said then done. But i want to complete all my assignments and not start slaking off becasue im so incredibly lazy.

I feel i did pretty good for the first card marking of semester 2. I got all A's except a B+ in Algerbra 2 but that is a difficult class. I only got that B+ because i got like a C on one test which hurt me. I was pleased with my performance because i got very good grades. Plus i didn't fail any test or anything. Yes i did have pride in work, no doubt about it. I think because i did it all by myself with the occansional help from others on certian problems. Also, i don't think i copied off of anyone. At least that i know of, or remember. My goal is to get all A's and i think i can do this by having pride in my work and a good work ethic.
I will honestly say I was not working up to my capability. I did not get very good grades this last term. I have the ability to do better in school but I obviously did not work up to it. My next goal is to boost up my work ethnic and apply myself more in school. I don't have much of a plan besides work harder. I would love to see a big change in how serious I take school. I guess all I need to do is pay attention, work, and do what I need to get good grades.
I think that I can do better then I am doing. For me the first week is hard. I know that I have to pay more attention in class and get my work done. I am not pleased with my performance. I almost got kicked out of class on friday. That is not me, I was really ashamed with my self. I think that I am putting pride in my work. If I wasn't then I would not be asking questions when we do the grammar. I usally sit back and dont care if I know what is being tought. My goal for the second cardmarking is not to get an E in this class. I would like to get a B. I will turn in my work and pay attention during class. I will also ask questions if needed.
I was very pleased with my grades. I did really bad first card marking but now i have all A's. I was very able to have pride in my work. That is why i worked so hard to get all A's. I f i didn't have pride i would have gotten a worse grade. For the second card marking i want to do the same thing and get all A's. To do it i will study for every test instead of only sometimes studying.
Zack Ruffin
Well in your class i feel like i was doing better then i have before. but in other classes i wish i could do better in. my performance isnt the best, i have good work habits when i want to and i wish i could push myself harder then i am but the truth is i am not working to my best. to me it really upsets me that i dont understand a lot, i always wish i could be smarter. the work im doin i do have pride in, im starting to do my homework more often, and when i do it i feel really good about myself. Ok i cant say i will get a 4.0 for the 2nd card marking but getting all bs would make me soo happy. im really busy with work, but ill ask for help instead of just being quiet ill try to attain them with beter study habits and re checking my work more.
Since i was gone for a week, it really set me back. I tried to get everything in on time after, but a few things didnt get turned in. Being gone for that time made my grades go down a lot. I tried very hard, especially in this class. I improved greatly on vocab and grammer. I have pride in myself because i took time to memorize the words and understand the grammer. For the next term, i would like to raise my chem grade. I struggle in this class for some reason. But im trying a lot harder for tests and im studying more. I have also been staying up on blogs. This is all going to be more of a challenge for me bcause tennis has started. But in the end, i wont let it stop me from doing my best.

I feel like I did really good in the first cardmarking. I was pleased with my performance and think I accomplished most of my goals. The one I am still having trouble with is procrastinating. I hope to get better even with lacrosse season starting. Even though I procrastinate some things, I still think I have pride in my work. I do most assignments and I don't usually rush through them. I usually turn in my best work and that is something to be proud of. In math, when I didn't understand, I went to the teacher to help and thats showing pride. My true goals for the 2nd cardmarking are to improve at lacrosse since I just started playing, maintain balance, not procrastinate and pay attention in mr mohrs class. I usually lose focus because I am distracted easily and then lose points for participation.
I feel I did very well in the first cardmarking of the second semester. A 4.0 is the best I could have done which makes me happy I got it. I was pleased with my performance overall as well. I was able to truly have pride in my work. I did all my work by myself and in subjects like spanish I studied more. I have never been very good at spanish, and I would have to say it is probably my most difficult class. I learned that if I take more time to study for it, that it will come easier to me. My true goals of the second cardmarking are to continue my 4.0 and to understand everything I do. Sometimes I get a good grade on something but do not fully understand it, so if I take the time to look into subjects a level deeper than just getting the work done, I can understand it. I just had to teach myself about hyperbolas in Algebra 2, and although it took a while to understand, I got it now. If I apply myself to my classes, I can get more out of them and feel better about my grade.

I feel i did well this card marking period but not as good as i could have done. I need to put more effort toward my work. Also, i was able to show pride in my work. I feel i need to get at least a B in this class and raise my GPA. I learned alot about pride. I hope i can continue doing well in class.
This year has gone by way too fast. I feel as though I did a lot better than last card marking. Last card marking I didn't really care, but now I am paying for my mistake. This week I was not really in school due to moving and its messing around with my grades and I am disappointed in that. I believe I really did have pride in my work. I actually did all of my work...well most of it. =] My goal is not to let moving effect my grades.

in this past card marking i thik i did well. although there is always room for improvement. i was pleased with my performance but i wish i copuld have gotten a higher GPA than a 3.0. i brought my grades up from the previous card marking with all A's and B's so thats good. i think after that talk on pride i have been being more concerned in my work. taking pride in school not only helps your grades but it sets higer standards for yourself as well. my goals are to keep doing as i am but improving as much as i can.

for the first cardmarking I thought I did pretty well. I recieved a 3.85 which isn't bad, I thought I could have done better but I didn't. I think that this next cardmarking will be very good became I'm going to put a lot more time in my work. I think that I kinda slacked on this last cardmarking because I didn't really care. I'm going to start doing a lot better and my goal is to get all a's. I think I took some pride In my work but I could do better. I did all of my work and tried my hardest but I wait until the last second to do most of my work. I truly believe that I'm going to do a lot better.
Honestly, I do not believe that I do did my best this second cardmarking. Although, the grades were not bad, I was not pleased not satisfied. I must say, in some classes I have put pride into my work, and am pleased with the results. In others not so much, I feel I can do so much better, and was not putting my full pride into my work. I feel that lately I have been distracted with DECA, as well as other activities. Now that I am finally free of distractions for a few weeks, I will not stand for my laziness anymore. I am disappointed in myself, and I feel that being disappointed in yourself, is worse then any other kind of disappointment. For the second card marking, I am going to start studying for future tests and quizzes in all classes, and not just study the night before. Actually, study and make sure I truly understand the material.
Just a reminder, the reason for my blog being late is I was at DECA states since Friday morning. I was not able to do my blog, and you said just to do it Sunday, thank you.

I feel that i did outstandingly well compared to the first semester. I was very pleased with my grades, but i feel i can still do better. I was deffinatly able to have pride in the work i did because i completed all of my work on time and handed it with all of the answers correct. My true goals for this cardmarking will to be attain atleast all A's and B's in all of my classes and continue to take great pride in the work i do. I will attain this by doing what i have been doing, but put a little more effort in my school work and less screwing around.
