10th Grade Praises

The End

Name: Abigail Townsend

Two Quotes of Me

"The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but rising every time we fall"

- Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela

This year I had many 10th grade praises,but these are the ones that really stuck into my mind. First, was my best friends that were always there for me when I needed them. I have gone through a few things this year that would have shut me down without them. they kept me going and deserved to be praised for it. Also, when Miss.Waid would have us tell her what is going on in our lives in our journals. She may not know it, but it was always comforting to know she listened to me.I believed she needed praised for that and I am sure many others would agree because sometimes we just need someone to trust who won't tell and that's what she did. Another good memory from this year was when I got straight A's for the first time in my life. I have kicked my butt this year to make it possible and sacrificed a lot for those grades and it was truly all worth it in the end. MY last praise moment of this year goes to my best friend Ivory. Whether she shows to anyone else or not she has really matured and grown this year both academically and as the great women I know her to be today. She has grown into such a wonderful person and I believe she needed to be praised for it. Those are my 10th grade praises for the end of this year.

Today I have become a certain kind of person. Naploeon Hill said,"If you can't do great things, do small things in a great way." I believe this describes me because I am not the kind of person who does big great things in life and likes to get noticed. Instead, I tend to do the little things that build up like picking up someones books in the hallway when they drop or hugging a friend who's crying. I don't like to be noticed for the big things ,but recognition for the little things every once in a while is just enough for me. It was once said by Will Smith,"Don't chase people. Be yourself. Do your own thing and work hard. The right people- the ones who really belong in your life- will come to you, and stay." This quote has been one of my favorites for a long time because it does describe me and my ways. I am not normal(I hope by now that's obvious). I have always done my own thing no matter what anyone else has said about me whether to my face or behind my back. The other reason this quote describes me is it shows I don't chase people who only want to use me. I like to think of people like boomerangs, the ones who care come back and stay, but the ones who don't belong hit you in the head on the way back and show you who really cares. I'm not the kind of person to do great things so I do the little ones that tend to go unnoticed and I don't chase people to find out the ones who really care. That is why I chose these quotes to describe me because they are who I am and if someone doesn't like me for me then they don't need to pretend they do. I have become that certain kind of person.

Symbol

One Word

This picture shows an explanation of the person I am today. The symbol is showing how I am slowly reveling who I am supposed to be. Since I am christian I decided to draw one of my favorite symbols being reveled, the cross. The cloud that is floating out of the way shows how I am figuring out what I really am underneath all my shy ways I am around others my age. I am becoming the person I was meant to be. That is why I chose these symbol for me.

There is only one word to describe this year, magical. The word magical was chosen due to all the memories I now have from this year that remind me of a fairy tale. In my fairy tale, I started out sad and lonely because my dad was gone and out of the country on work and wouldn't be back for awhile, but then, like magic, my friends started to heal me. Soon, time flew out the window with the great times you can only experience once. One of these times was going to Disney with the band. In Disney, I learned so much, could go laugh, and have fun with the friends I never get to see much anymore. Being with them was truly a magical experience. Not only was the band trip amazing, but waking up in the morning knowing someone cared about really got me through everything and anything this year. That is why this 10th grade word is magical because no matter what things happened the times worked like magic.

Goals For 11th Grade

Day Book

Reflection

This year has made me grow a lot as a writer. I couldn't write a proper paragraph like I wanted to and that made writing reports very frustrating. Also, I always had to ask way to many questions in order to get my work done right instead of just reading the information that was right in front of me. Some assignments that showed how much I have progressed as a writer is the Lord of the Flies paper and the I Am Nujood paragraph we had to write in our day book. In the beginning, with the Lord of the Flies book, my paragraph looked like a bunch of sentences put together as if it was inside a blender. Where as now my ,I am Nujood, paragraphs looks way better and complete than what it was. The day book was also very helpful in keeping my stuff all together and allowing me to hold important papers so I can use them later through out the year.

For 11th grade I have a few goals to shoot for. Next year, I want to get straight A's all year. Also, I am going to try not to over think or over work anything to make myself less stressed. A very important detail that I want to keep as a goal is to keep my real friends close to me because I need them in my life. My last goal for next year is to keep doing my best at everything no matter what it is. Next year will be a great year if I stick to my goals as I hope I will do.

Favorite Assignment

Do Over Moment

TIQA Reflection

Overall Growth

My favorite assignment this year was the last report we got to do on our independent books. On my report, I got to draw and use my artistic ways instead becoming a droid and spitting out the words in monotonous sentences that I already read before. That freedom of having the option to draw or write was amazing because I never got those choices before. Not only that but, the way we got the project done was relaxing and comfortable. I was secure in my own ways of drawing and writing and that helped me greatly on this report. If I could go back to that moment I would do the whole report all over again because it didn't feel like a report. It felt like a game and that's the best way to work; having fun while getting the work done.

This year I had a single moment I wish so badly I could redo. That moment was when I could have learned the write way to study ,but passed it up because I didn't feel like it. My mom had offered me this online thing and asked if I thought it would help me. I said,"No, I'm fine." If I had taken that moment I could have made my life so much easier in my studying because I wouldn't have needed that extra hour every night just to get a decent grade. That one moment is the moment I want to redo because had I taken it this year would have different.

TIQA's were a whole new experience this year for me. At first, the start of the writing was slow, but it turned into a snowball on a hill and sped up. TIQA's are very useful for many things. Not only do they make it easy to write a single paragraph, but an entire report can be written purely on TIQA's. This tool was a giant boost in my ability to write and really made me become a better writer. Looking back now, I don't remember why I thought it was so difficult or complained that it wouldn't help me. This writing tool was so useful and helpful in my road to writing that I wish I had been taught it sooner because TIQA's were and still are a great experience.

I have grown a lot academically and as a women this year. During this year, I learned how to write a real paragraph without working on it for hours. I also learned the way I need to study so I can do my absolute best in all my classes. A milestone that I had in my 10th grade year was my ability to understand others. This achievement has created many opportunities and friendships that I hope to last a lifetime. Seeing all the things my friends have gone through really had me thinking on ways to help them which made me really mature a lot in the end and grow from a girl who is just there to someone who is there for anyone who needs me.
