reflection about the first semester of world history
This last semester was certainly an interesting one. It had a lot of ups and downs and I learned a lot in World History. I really like learning and I also really like history so it makes sense that I really like history class. There are some things in class that I do well in. However, there are some things I need to work on. In World History, I am good at participating in class, but I need to work on doing my homework and applying myself to projects.
Like I said before, I like learning and I like history, so it’s easy to stay engaged in class. I think I am pretty good at paying attention and doing classwork. I love just reading about ancient cultures and things, and I also like voicing my opinion and engaging in friendly debate or conversation. I like that about myself because I think it’s nice for people to hear my opinion, that way I can represent myself in a group of people.
Despite this good trait I have, I know I have other things that I need to work on. Probably one of the most pressing issues is dealing with homework. In school I am engaged and concentrated. But when I get home I become easily distracted. There are just so many things to do and so many extra activities that I partake in; music, photos, video, video games, movies, books, et cetera. So when it comes to homework I don’t do very well, and I often just barely scrape by. However, I am working on improving myself in that category by making more self-imposed routines. Right now I make a cup of tea (almost) every morning, do the laundry (almost) every day and play the bass (almost) every evening. So I think I can integrate homework into that routine so that it’s not just pushed off to the side.
Another thing I need to work on is big projects. I believe that I have a lot of potential when it comes to them, and we are often given a lot of creative control in them. Despite this I feel that I often don’t apply myself one hundred and ten percent every time. I suppose it’s not so bad, but I feel that it’s important to take creative opportunities when they come because I often don’t have enough willpower to do awesome things all by myself. I think the only way to really overcome this is to buckle down and apply myself, so I’ll let you know how that goes.
So in conclusion, you can see that I’m an all-around good guy, but I still need to work on doing my homework and applying myself to projects. I can do this by implementing daily routines, buckling down and concentrating on what I need to do, and getting enough sleep. That’s right, you heard me. I am very conscious of that. This is sort of like my Jihad, it is my duty to my family and to society, so I had better do it.
