2nd semester goals


Goals 

My goals for this semester are to get a 85 over all (at least) in every class for many reasons, but mainly because a sense of accomplishment always feels good when you have been through something as long as a school year.  Also to just avoid any kind of trouble as I have some minor trouble with in the past. 

Question 1:  How are you different now then when you started school in August?

I think I am different now in a way that makes me look like I have a sense of urgency.  In previous years I settled for the minimum in most of my pieces of work and when ever something was due soon I would lay back and do it a good portion of the time but the times it didn't it hit hard so a sense of urgency did kick in but too late but after seeing all that I feel like I can force that feeling on my self to make me seem a bit more productive because I have to now more than ever

Question 2.  What skills do you think are the most important for succeeding in humanities?Why?

Well first of all you have to have the will to learn after the rest of the skills start to come to you pretty easily.  Next to that you have to have some kind of researching skills as our previous project showed us.  Simply because humanities is about history, literature, and writing.  So for the writing portion you would need researching a lot since you need to inform your self.  Not just being able to read stuff but to pick out the important details and be able to understand the work.  Also study skills, to able to learn something important efficiently and how to summarize different kinds of information.  Like studying math if different than history so you have to able to know how to study different formats of material.  

Question 3:  One thing you would like to improve on

I would like to improve my work ethic a bit.  Primarily at home because I can honestly say I think I work pretty efficiently at school but at home I have too many distractions.  So I would like to turn off the computer volume and put on headphones to keep anything else from getting my attention which would keep me locked on my work

Question 4:  What are you most curious about?  If you could study any topic, what would you study and why?

If anything I would like to study genetics.  I don't know a lot about the topic but form what I do know it seems very interesting.  Also because it's nice to have that kind of knowledge to know that you could help someone with what could previously have been called an "incurable affliction"
