Where would I be in 5 years?

It's kind of crazy pictureing how our lives may be in just 5 years! I'm pretty sure it will be completely different from now, with much more responsibilities. In 5 years, I see myself diverging from my parents lives and getting my own department/house, maybe even starting my own family. I also see myself working in a job that fits me and one in which I am comfortable at. 

I'm still quite unsure about wether I want to attend college or not. I know it would make me more successful and have more opportunities in life, but in occasions it's hard to make a decision. Graduating High school is already a big accomplishment for me because nobody else in my family has (since in Mexico the things are way different from here) and I would be the first one.  Most probably I will go into work right after High School. I will be applying at jobs that are suitable for me; for example at a restaurant, hotel or some kind of store. Maybe I will even pick coffee (not my favorite but I will surely earn lots of money). 

When I picture myself having my own house, I also see myself embellishing it. With big black doors at the entrance, a nice green/clean backyard and nice wooden furniture would be decorating the living room. My house will be as beautiful as a brand new phone! Just imagining it, makes me euphoric with excitement. I really hope I accomplish my goals. But in order to do that I need to be focused and not let people bring me down. 

Mid-Quarter Reflection

So far in this class I have really enjoyed how we go over our vocabulary words together as a whole class and pronounce each term. Those techniques are helpful and I feel like I'm getting more dexterous in my usage of vocab words! I also like how everyone in class venerates each other and they don't say rude comments about one another. Ms. Kline, you sure know how to keep this class motivated and on task at all times! In the beginning of each class period I feel very lethargy and not wanting to do anything but as we start doing our work I get more involved and become less lazy. 

Some of the challenges I'm facing in class is talking out loud or being "called-on". I'm a super shy person and that's always been a problem for me. Over the years I have gotten better though! Another challenge I have is not finishing worksheets when certain time is given to us. I work at a slow paste. To overcome these challenges I will try to get more involved in class discussions and give my opinions when needed. It'll be hard but I'm sure I can do it. 

I'm usually in class everyday, seated when the tardy bell rings. Whenever my "stick" gets picked, I do my best to answer the questions being asked. I also turn in my work on time, in the tray or on Edmodo. Everytime I turn something in I make sure its well done and includeds all expectations being asked on that assignment. 

In the coming months, I'm looking forward to getting better in my vocabulary and writing skills. Also being more interactive with others and of course getting good grades.
