Doing Well In The 1st Quarter

I think that I did very good this quarter because I got all A's and one B. My plan was to get straight A's but at least I got five A's and one B. I felt like this quarter was easy that's what I say every year in the 1st quarter and then it gets all hard in the 3rd and 4th quarter. My favorite class is English and that's the class that I got a B in in all my other classes like American History,World Cultures, Chinese, Algebra 2 and Junior Seminar. In September I had an AP US History Class for 1st period but I felt like I wasn't learning anything and that the teacher didn't knew what she was doing. So I decided to drop it and go to a regular class. Now that I am in American History I got an A and I feel like I will do better in this class then in the AP class I had. In my second period I have an A because we learn about different cultures around the world and I did good in my tests and in my classwork. Also I have fun in that class because I get to learn different cultures every week.My 4th period I have Chinese to be honest I thought I was going to fail that class because it seems really hard the writing and speaking to me was difficult. Then now that the quarter is about to end I have an A and it's easy really easy it only takes to pay attention and do her work. My 5th period is and AP English class I started doing good with an A but I went down to a B because there was a day that I had to present with my group and that same exact day I didn't felt good and had to go to the nurse and went home. So what I got was a C in my presentation. That's what made my grade go down if I had not been feeling bad that day then I could had got an A now.My 7th period class is Algebra 2 and I got an A the first couple of weeks I didn't know what she was talking about because she talks fast and teaches fast. I thought I was going to fail her class but NO! I got an A and I am proud of myself. My last class my 8th period is Junior Seminar I also think that this class is a piece of cake why because we do blogs,study hall and current events and to me that is a very easy thing to do. I hope I still be doing better like now till the end of  the school year so that I can be a good college and get a Master's degree.

Fear Of Failure

Life is full of wonderful things but just like there is wonderful things there's things that you are afraid of. Sometimes people are afraid because they never experienced it or just don't know the consequences. In order to keep on moving forward you have to lose fear of those things that you fear. You cant make your fear your obstacle of moving forward you have to keep on moving no matter how hard or tough it is. Overcoming a fear makes you stronger and feel better about your self.

I remember when I was a little girl I was afraid of the water. I actually don't know why I thought I had this fear because of something that happened when I was a baby. I decided to ask my mom and she said that nothing that deal with water had happened to me. I couldn't explain why I was afraid I felt like I was going to drown or die. My mom once said maybe is because you don't know how to swim I also thought the same thing but I wasn't sure.

So I decided to join into swimming lessons and learn how to swim to see if that could help me over come my fear over water. So yes this summer I decided to join and I went to 12th Street Gym for 8 week lessons. The first couple of days I couldn't even put my head in the water I was really scared that I was not going to learn. Then when I learned a little bit my teacher told me to swim back and ford I tried but something I will never forget happened. When I was on my way back I lost my breath and stopped in the middle of the pool which was 7 feet and drowned.

My teacher helped me and I got out I was upset that I failed. I went home and told my mom that I didn't wanted to go back she told me don't quit you will learn don't give up. So the next week from that I went and I said to myself "I CAN DO THIS" I got in the water and went back and ford I had made it I was happy. When my teacher got there I showed him and he said "Never give up on what you know you can overcome." Now that my swimming lessons are over I know how to swim now and I feel like I over came my fear.

Life is better once you overcome what you were scared of the most. Now that I know how to swim water won't be an obstacle for me to move on and continue. Who would of said that if I learned how to swim I would lose fear for the water. Now I love swimming I can't wait till the next summer to join again and maybe get in for swimming competitions. I'm happy with my self that I was brave enough to overcome my fear and now it made me love water.
