I got my first part time job job at the beginning of grade 11 and everything went fine until i had to move out and live on my own. It's obvious that i couldn't support myself with just a part time job, so i dropped that and got a full time job working night shifts. It was very very hard and i just couldn't attend all day school and work all night. I had no time for sleep, homework or myself. It just wasn't working and i knew i had to give up one in order to keep going. At the time, i had no choice but to sacrifice my school.
After a few months of going along like this, i realized that i had to go back to school sooner or later and why not make the sacrifice to go back now so that i can have more options in the future.
I heard about calc from a friend of mine that have previously attended and he loved it here, also the courses are shorter which works in my favour.
I used to love math back when i was in grade seven through ten but grade eleven was the beginning of my problems. I ended up skipping classes a lot until i finally ended up with a mark that showed it. I also found that there was a lot of new stuff in the curriculum and i never asked for help when i needed it.
My goals in this course are to come to class everyday, focus on the lessons and get my assignments done on time. I am ready and willing to work hard for this credit so that i can continue my path onto my future career.
I think that my strengths as an individual would be co operating with teachers and peers, taking notes and trying to get my work done on time. My weaknesses would be not doing too well on tests because i get very nervous and i forget everything i have revised.
All in all, i hope that this is going to be a great quad at calc and i would get all my goals accomplished for now while I'm here.
