Reflection
You did it! You are infinitely smarter now than when we first met
180+ days ago. You persevered through a rigorous trial but you still
have challenges ahead. Hopefully now you can answer the question we
asked at the beginning of the year (Why are you here?). For our final
blog post I want you to consider each of the following and write a few
sentences about each.
- Reflect back on your first year and share a moment or two that you remember most fondly
- What was your most difficult challenge
- and finally, share with us what your plans are for the summer
It was a pleasure working with you all and I will miss you. Good luck on your finals!
Mr. T
Looking back some moments that I remember fondly were the early mornings practicing for song contest and everyone getting to know each other better and finding their "groups"/fitting in somewhere in this very large puzzle. Most difficult for me was finding my place but I think that I did and "ok" job with that. This summer I plan to attend a program at NYU and I also plan to spend the end of the summer traveling to England then to Paris to spend some time with family. Looking back I am proud of what I have accomplished.
ReplyDeleteOne of my most fond memories I have was the first day of school. I was so nervous and I was trying to make friends by joking around . Another fond memory I have is when we were first introduced to locks. It took me about a week to get used to but eventually I was able to get it down. One of the most difficult challenges I had this year was balancing tennis and school work. It eventually became a routine and it wasn't as difficult anymore. This summer, I will be in Florida learning how to drive and working as a CIT.
ReplyDeleteLooking back on this year, memories that I will remember is being with my friends and talking and hanging out with them before, during, and after school. My most difficult challenges this year was making friends in the beginning of the year and balancing my school work with sleep. And finally my summer plans are to hang out with my friends and family, travel somewhere with my sister, and to go to the beach often.
ReplyDeleteAs I have overcame 180+ days of high school, along the way I have had many challenges and I am fond of many memories. One challenge I faced was adjusting to high school. Middle school was fairly easy, not too many tests, not too much homework. However in high school, there was a test almost every week and homework due in short notice as well as no recess period. This was a big adjustment that I had to adjust to. In my freshman year, I made many friends and a lot of memories such as winning second place at song contest, cleaning out the empty lockers and leaving the hallway a mess and hearing Ms. Bernstein announce over the loudspeaker after first period we are ordered to go home because of water pipe issues. Although I had a great time, I am excited for summer. My plans are to work as well as travel out of state.
ReplyDeleteMy first year at St. Saviour's was full of many academic challenges. This was no different for computer class. Although it was challenging, I learned many things this year, including coding with Scratch, how to properly use IMovie, and the parts of a computer. The most challenging lessons of computer class this year were learning the Parts of the Computer and the Digital Citizenship IMovie/Google Sites/Google Forms project. Although challenging, these lessons will be useful for the future. Now for my plans for the summer. I am helping out my old school's summer camp and a basketball camp. I will also be practicing basketball myself. There's also my "favorite" part- HOMEWORK :)))))). I had a great year this year and I hope everyone has a great summer!
ReplyDeleteA memorable moment this year was song contest. My most difficult challenge was midterm week. My plans for the summer are to relax and get ready for sophomore year!!
ReplyDeleteMy first year showed me a little of how the next three year is going to be, a time I would never forget was my first song contest night, it was so much fun preparing for it and then that night we came second but we all thought we would've done bad. My most difficult challenge was trying to keep my grades up in the 90's. My plans for the summer is I'm going to NYU for the whole of July and then I'm going back home to Grenada for the rest of my summer.
ReplyDeleteMy most favorable memory from this year is when I went on enrichment day and I went painting. It was really fun and I enjoyed it because I did not know that I could paint that well. Throughout the year I have been trying to keep up with the loads of homework because I am not use to receiving that much homework everyday and it's been a struggle which is why I am happy the school year is almost over. My plans for this summer is to hopefully get picked for summer youth and to enjoy my summer by the pool almost everyday with my friends and sleeping in and going out during the long hot day.
ReplyDeleteIn the beginning of the year, I felt the work load and the school in general was a lot to get used to since it was a big transition, from middle school to high school. However I eventually found my way and I started to get used to the people and the new school. I felt that waking up early to go to song contest was a difficult part as well as getting my groove on classes and homework, and balancing out academics with other activities. This summer I am planning to hopefully find a program to do in the city, and to travel outside of New York state for some of the summer.
ReplyDeleteLooking back at my year here, I find it hard to believe that it is coming to an end already. This year went by really fast yet I can’t say that I didn’t enjoy myself. I think the moments that I say I cherished the most would be making our group video. It was the most fun I think I’ve ever had in any computer class because we were able to work together and build something big off of a small idea. Not only did we complete the project but we also had fun doing so. I think the most difficult thing I experienced this year was preparing for midterms because this was something I’ve never done before which at first the thought of taking the exams alone scared me. My plans for this summer would be for my Family and I to go on a cruise and for us to travel to Paris.
ReplyDeleteDuring my time in the 9th grade at St. Saviour, I remember stressing over getting good grades and laughing with my friends. I remember the fun I had at Song Contest and being surprised on how well the 9th graders did. My most difficult challenge was definitely midterms. I remember being so stressed and nervous. I wanted to get a good grade and studied hard. During the summer, I wish to go on vacation and enjoy my days off from school. I want to go in the pool, have fun with my friends, and relax.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite memories from this year were getting to turn the strangers around me into friends that, in the end of eighth grade, I wasn't sure I'd ever make. My most difficult challenge was the work load and the commute, going from very little work in my old school and a twenty minute walk to much more work with an hour and twenty minute long commute was hard to get used to. This July I'm going to Disney in Florida for the first times and we're going to stay for ten days, which will be my most interesting vacation I've ever had- otherwise, I won't be doing much.
ReplyDeleteLooking back my favorite memories from this year were the ones made at color wars and song contest. It was fun watching each team/class work together through fun challenges and our own song and dance. My most difficult challenge at SSHS was adjusting to the school and making friends with people I will remember forever. This summer I am traveling to Florida and spending time with my cousin/best friend, Heaven.
ReplyDeleteOne of my most fond memories was song contest. Song contest helped me build a friendship with some girls and it made the first couple of months really fun. The most difficult challenge this year was the week of midterms and just homework in general. This summer I am going to aruba and the beach.
