Personal Profile

Welcome to my blog! I love softball. My favorite place to be is the beach because it is so peaceful yet the ocean still holds so many mysteries. In my free time, I normally spend it with friends, or watching the Orioles or Ravens. Softball is a big part of my life, I absolutely love the sport. Right now I'm not the best at English, but I hope that changes. My favorite subject is science because of the different paths it can lead. Outside of school and sports, my friends are a big deal. I am always laughing with them.

 

Thinking about the future is always exciting for me, yet nervous at the same time. I don’t want to grow up too fast, but I'm egger to see what lies ahead for me. A English goal I have is to improve on my reading comprehension. Sometimes what I read goes right threw my brain, its defiantly something I need to work on. For my freshman year, a goal would be to make the schools softball team. And also keep my grades up, going from a public to private school is a big step academically, I want to be able to handle it as best as I can. Finally, a random goal is to find a job that I love and stick with it for the rest of my job life. I want to be happy to go to my job when I'm older, not feel like it’s a drag.

 

On my honor, I have neither given nor received unauthorized aid on this graded academic work.

First Week

My first week at John Carroll is defiantly one I will remember. The best part was having off Tuesday, it felt like summer again, until I realized I had school tomorrow. Monday wasn’t as scary as I thought, it was a lot easier having only the freshman and sophomores. The worst part about Monday was the fact that I only had about fifteen minutes to eat lunch. But the best part was our guest speaker because he was very funny. I was so glad to have Tuesday off! I was a little disappointed to have Tuesday off though because I have three mods off that day and I wanted to see what the break would be like. Then on Wednesday, it’s what I consider the first day of school because everyone was there. After going to advisory to start the day, I knew this new schedule would take a few days to get used too. My Wednesday schedule is a lot like Monday’s so nothing seemed to change and over all, it was a good day, Next is Thursday, I have a three mod break today too so I was very excited! Also, I don’t have math on Thursday, which I’m very happy about! I really like Thursday’s because I have a lot of the classes I like and I have a good sixed break. That day went even better than I expected, and I had very high expatiations for that day too. Finally Friday! I was very ready for the weekend, even though it was only my first week with a lot more to come! My schedule on Friday is very similar to my Monday schedule so I knew what to expect. Except that I have a mod off, then a class, then another mod off. I would rather have the whole time off at once then it being split. But I can’t chose my schedule, so I have to live with it, not that bad considering that’s the only problem I had during my first week of school. Yes the new building, teachers, schedule, and faces will take some getting used too. But it will be a great time for my high school years. And my first week at John Carroll was a very good and remember able one.
