Personal statement

I am a very energetic person when I am around people, but not very much so on my own, and sometimes I prefer it that way. I value my friends a lot but also value my alone time because my talents express themselves better when I am alone because I am very much a creative person. I value my friends a lot, but I am not very good with keeping relationships from a long way away such as a different country and that is something that I would like to have in the future to better my relationships. When I was in middle school I didn’t study and for that and I did not get grades, it’s only when I reached grade 8 that I realized the importance of it. And I hope that I go beyond that because there are new challenges like grade 9 exams and the 10-grade exam. Middle school was the challenge, I got through, the next one is up ahead and I want to be ready and so I value commitment to education and studying so I can get the grades I need.

For my academic goals. I did not really experience this. I saw what I could have got if I took the time to try and get the grades. The 9th grade trip managed to give me a look at what peoples grades were. And because of this I felt left out and so this has lead to try hard to the pursuit of my goal. The trip also helped me understand more about what a good relationship is like. During the school time I usually sit and talk a very little bit. I’m like the third wheel in the group. The trip had people that I had relationships with and it’s helped me better the relationship. It also helped me to figure out how a good relationship can be achieved. Because of this trip I have actually been recently able to contribute to the group.

These goals are right for me because I feel that they would definitely benefit me better then other goals. I have not really been thinking about anything really except looking forward to the holiday because I am looking at the holiday as something like a “restart.” There are lots of goals that I want to achieve over the holidays like getting fit and revising academics. On the holidays there are no worries that you have to worry about so you are free to do what you like and I feel it would be very good opportunity to fulfill those 2 specific goals (ones that I want to fulfill the most). Getting fit was hard because of the lack of time and lack of commitment. There is a mountain in England where I am going to that is not boring when you run on it and is a pretty good distance. Academics, there is just lots of time and because there is barely any functioning wifi, the distractions are fairly limited. I would like to do this so that I can come to grade 10 strong and be prepared. Sometimes as well I become a little out of control in private due to the fact that I am upset with my grades. Grade 9 economics exam was one that got me upset and angry for a while. So being academically better would help with that too because then I would be as upset and can focus on other things like revising.  

I would like to try finding more study habits because now I realize that my quizlet idea takes too long and is only good on particular units. I would now suggest making a study folder for every unit, and revise on that. I feel that my study habit overall though has improved. I am feeling lots of anxiety because I thought I was going well but the grade 9 exams opened my eyes that I have to try much harder to achieve the grades I need.
