Portfolio - Improvement

Over the past two years, I have Improved a lot . My freshman year was a going good when I was attending Morse High School. My grades were not all that great but I was happy and had no problems. Then I came to San Pasquale Academy. I came here by choice. I did not know that I would have this much trouble with computers. I did not use them as much. On top of all that I somewhat failed my freshman year. I did a lot better my Sophomore year. My grades improved a lot, I got off two hour and received awards for my academic and citizen ship. I have to give myself around of applause. I was proud of myself. I knew I could do it, I just did not bother trying. In Middle School my writing skills were okay but could have been better with some practice. Now my writing skills are almost good and I have less corrections to make on my essays. I had finally chose to practice on my writing skills and started to do better each time. My reading skills before High School was at college base. I read a lot during the school year and during the summer I just stopped and didn't bother reading. I still don't read as much but my reading level has dropped to a 12th grade level. Not bad but could have been better. I did not improve on my reading level but still have the chance to bring it back to college level again. My speaking skills before High School were not all that great because I did speak Spanish in between my English so that hurt my English just a little. My speaking skills are doing better than ever and I am proud that I can talk without having to think before I talk. They improved by taking speech skills and taking an extra English class. My group skills before high school were horrible. I did not like working in a group. I disliked the fact that when I was in a group I was the one stuck doing all the work. I still don't really like working in groups but the groups that I am usually in are good at all of us doing our part of the project. They improved by choosing the students who actually do there work. I did not use the computers as much so they were not all that great. My computer skills have improved a lot since I had Mrs. Priester as my teacher. My tech skills improved by me asking for help when I needed it. I am going to continue to work hard and ask for help when I need it. I will also pay attention more and get along better with my peers.
