First Quarter Summary

  First quarter was full of discussions. Everything we did we turnt it into a discussion or an argument. Through out the quarter I got too know my classmates better and also Mr.Rease. In the quarter I learned the basics behind writing an essay. I was giving the steps too follow through out each body paragraph. However I didn’t like the outcome of my grade because I know it could have been better. This quarter I would like to improve on my writing skills and technique. I will also continue to learn about how to manage time.

Introduction

          Any time I have free time I like to play basketball. Basketball is something I hope I get a scholarship for too play because that’s my second biggest goal. This year I want to achieve good grades throughout the whole school year and improve on my reading and writing skills. Mainly I want too do those things too past my AP exam. The reason I’m taking AP classes is too challenge myself and basically skip some of my college classes because I am sure that I’m going too college.
