Trust Me

     A time I had to convince someone to trust me was when my brother Carlos had a charlie-horse. My grandma and I were in the livingroom one day when all the sudden my brother fell off the couch in his sleep. When we looked over he was flopping around on the floor crying. We asked him what was wrong and he replied screaming, "I have a charlie-horse." My grandma kind of stood there quietly while I immediately told him he had to straighten his leg and point his toes in towards his leg. I was pregnant at the time and remembered when I started getting charlie-horses that, that was what the doctor told me to do. Of course he did not listen to me though so I kept telling him to do it while he cried and screamed out, "No, it hurts too bad." I then just decided to get on the floor and straighten his leg myself. When I did so, just like I thought, the charlie-horse went away. 

Sophomore Year Aspirations

I finally realized that because of my struggles in my sophomore year so far, it made my previous aspirations possible. So I decide to set new aspirations for myself. My main aspiration now academically, is to finish the Early College program successfully with my diploma and Associates Degree, and then to move on and go to college to get my Masters Degree for social work. This has become a major key for my future because I want to be a part of children services for my career. I have always wanted to work with children services and I feel that it is important to pursue in a career you enjoy, because you do not want to spend the rest of your life doing something you dislike for a living. If I can accomplish this aspiration for my future like I have my previous aspirations, I know that I can accomplish anything I put my mind and effort too. 

Math OGT

The OGT that I am most worried for is the math one. Ever since I got into high school I have struggled with math, it is either I do not understand it or I can never remember how to do it later. I normally do bad on tests and quizzes, even if I know the material before hand, I always forget it once a test gets in front of me. Or if I do still have an idea on how to do it, I just do it incorrectly. I think maybe it is because there is so much to learn between Algebra, Geometry, and Algebra 2. Math is difficult but is an important subject in life and it is important for me to do good on math tests and quizzes, including this math OGT coming up. I plan to study my hardest and do practice math OGTs online (even though Jayden might make it impossible lol) but I also wish Mr. Vasi would do some OGT practice in class. If we could do practices together, it would help refresh my memory and also give me an idea of all the material that will be on it. I hope that my efforts to do good will leave me successful :)
