Which is the class I don't know how to improve because I've been told that a B was the highest grade since we didn't get graded much.

So I try my very best into everything I do or hand in and the thought of having a GPA less than a 4.0 gives me the chills.

In order to continue to do well in my classes I need to come during advisory to get help in Khan Academy, retake tests that I know I can surely improve on, and talk to my teachers on ways I can get extra credit or make up a work. The classes I need to do better on is in English because I have an A and to raise my GPA it has to be an A plus. Also in Algebra 1 it's a A- and P.E. is a B. I am not doing well because in English I took tests in vocabulary that I got 10/13 or 7/8 and made my grades

However, a poet once said, “Life is not a race, but a journey, to be savored each step of the way” (Nancye Sims).
