Over the course of my school life, I have learned and developed many skills that are currently very helpful in Grade 9. I had never imagined that I would say this, but honestly, one should never give up, because eventually, they will earn their reward. I personally think that I have grown as a person both physically and mentally. However, I hope to continue to learn and improve my skills.

The 2 years in Mumbai has brought me closer to my culture. I have learned a lot about my Indian culture, festivities, and beliefs. I improved my Hindi speaking skills and now I continue to improve them. The years in India has not only taught me the importance of communication but also the importance of perseverance.

In the future, I wish to use my developed skills in my career. I have this urge to help people and grant them a healthier life. I plan on doing so by going into the world of science, however, I am not sure about the specifics. Either I wish to become an engineer where I build and invent new technology that helps people live a healthier life or I wish to become a doctor and physically help people live a healthier life. Nevertheless, the specifics will be chosen as I grow up.

Academically, I have been doing well in most of my subjects, especially science. Science is a subject that I can do every day because there is so much to learn and explore. One day I plan on becoming some type of scientist and math is a very important subject that is needed in science. Fortunately, extended math is my strong subject. However, my goal is to improve on Add Math. Add Math as a subject is very hard because we encounter different concepts that we have never seen before. Surprisingly, this year, I haven’t done badly for Add Math considering that it was a completely new subject for me. However, this year I have come across many new subjects such as Economics, Global Perspectives and many more. In these subjects, I find writing responses a little challenging, thus my main goal is to be able to correctly write responses, whether it be essays or long responses to questions. In the long run, this will help me when making science-related reports in my career.

In my opinion, all the goals that I wish to accomplish will help me in the future and I hope that I am able to accomplish these goals and the many other goals that I have set for myself in order for me to become the person I want to be.

I have not only academically worked towards my dream career, but I have also joined a service named ‘Tech Tinkers’, where I have learned how to fix different electronic devices so that they can be further donated to other services in working conditions. This service has increased my knowledge about different electronic devices, therefore, this may help me in the future. In any case, these electronic devices are donated to those global concerns and services that need it the most in order for them to accomplish their goals to help other people. I may be indirectly helping others, however, this is a great start to fulfill my dreams.

I plan on accomplishing these goals by using many different methods. For example, my goal to improve writing responses can be achieved by practicing and also remembering the requirements that are needed for the responses, such as the perspectives, consequences, causes, advantages, and disadvantages. My goal is to also improve in Add Math and I can do so by asking my teacher about my rooms of improvement and I can continuously practice different topics in Add Math. Practice makes perfect. Although perfection may seem to be unattainable, however, if I aim towards perfection, I can certainly achieve excellence.

Overall, my school life has been a great opportunity to develop my skills and accomplish my goals. I am quite happy about my achievements this school year and I look forward to next year.
