how to be successful in my first year at JC

There are many ways you can become successful. The ways you choose have to work for you. For example, some people are visual learners and some are not. You have to think of ways that will work specifically for you. One way to be successful is to pay attention. You have to remember and take notes of every expectation. It will help you with studying and it is a necessity. Another way to be successful is to have different studying techniques. Taking notes is a good way but they have to be organized. Some people might not really like to take notes and be better at reading whatever section they are being tested on. A third way could be to get involved because it could help with social situations. Being social is important because it will help you in your later life when being social is going to be a key element. A fourth way is to start thinking about college. It may seem really early, but it never is. Before you know it, senior year will come around and you will be looking at colleges to apply for. One last way is to not procrastinate. Being on top of the game in high school is very important because good grades are the ticket to success. I think these are the ways to be successful for the first year of high school.

What we did in class today

Today was an easy day. We were just working on fixing our blogs and getting them set up. Mine took a while last night to complete, but I noticed that it was successful. I was really relieved because I didn't know it would work. I am thinking that I will get used to doing the blogs and maybe even enjoy it because I can write what I think. Other than that we kind of had a free day and could use our computer more than usual. I hope we use the computer more so I can get used to using my computer because it is still new to me. I know we are taking notes in a notebook, but hopefully we can use the computer for other assignments. I am excited to see how human geo is this year because i have never had a class like it before. I hope it is one of my favorite classes.

My first day at John Carroll

My first day at John Carroll wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Everyone was really nice and they were there to help. It's hard being a freshman because it is all new and very different from middle school. I was expecting that to be true, but it will take a while to get used to everything. I sometimes think I won't adapt to everything, but I know I will. Everyone needs change, even though it can be really difficult. Your life always continues to change and it is just something you have to except. I know I will miss the people I have gone to school with over the last three years, but I am already meeting a lot of new people. There are so many people at John Carroll. I really love the diversity and how there are many people from all over. Also how there are exchange student programs and how you can visit Spain and other people's families. John Carroll just has so much to offer, and I started seeing it just on the first day. I am excited for JC and this first year to come.
