Although 2011 was a terrific year socially, academically, and family wise, I hope that as far as school goes, I achieve better goals and set higher ones for high school. With the start of the new year, I think that I need to start setting higher goals for myself because, if I become more responsible and set these higher goals, I should be able to make higher grades and achieve a higher GPA. Goal setting is an all around way to gain more self responsibility, because honestly, you have to fight to reach the goals you intend to set.
This quarter I intend to try and do all of my homework to the best of my ability. Last semester, and especially first quarter i thought that high school would just be another grade, as in middle school I got A's with little to no effort, but I was wrong about high school. This was the first time that I saw F's on papers. With my newly refined experience, I can now strive to work harder. I also intend to take better notes. I strongly believe that if I took notes in class, I would have a 3.5 or higher GPA, but I never take notes. Next, I also need to practice and hone some of my different studying skills and need to practice more math. Finally, I just want to be an overall better person in and outside of the class.

Chetan, I liked how you used your reading responses last semester as a space to set goals for your reading, writing, and organization. I hope that these blog posts continue to be useful to you as that kind of space. If you would like some note-taking help, come talk to me. Good post.
