I finished "Little Brother" and "Replay". I am now reading "Mortal Coils". Anyways... I will be writing about four of my main goals for the next 365 days.
I have four main goals for the next three hundred sixty five days of my life. They are to continue reading a book per week on school days, reach 60 words per minute at typing, maintain straight A's, and to be in the top four places on my school's math counts team.
I think that reading books really improve vocabulary and sentence flow. Books usually have more complex vocabulary than normal people's writing, and they are a lot more fun to learn from than dictionaries or vocabulary expanders. Also, people who write books have to have good sentence flow, or the book would not sell well. Books are a very good learning resource for learning to write better, which is why I put reading books as one of my top goals.
Typing is used for many things in life, so I have to get good at that. More typing speed means more assignments finished in less time. To improve my typing, I will continue taking typing lessons on a typing software and also find more opportunities to type. I have already almost tripled my original typing speed using the typing program and I plan to improve more.
Maintaining straight A's is obviously a very important part of being successful. It gives others a good impression, which in turn, leads to getting into a good college. Eventually, it leads to getting a decent job. To maintain straight A's, I will have to work hard in the years to come. There will be many obstacles, but if I work hard, I can easily overcome them.
Getting in the top four places of the school math counts team isn't that important, but its still pretty high on my mental list of importance. In seventh grade, I was in 6th place, and only the top four people get to go to any contest above county, so I didn't get to go to the southern California contest that our team won together. I really want to go to that contest to get free stuff and to be able to say "I'm good at math" with out hesitation.
Those are my four most important goals and my plan to achieve them.
First of all - love this post.
ReplyDeleteI don't have that much to criticize about it though, so I'm going to be nitpicky.
"...maintain straight A's, and to be in the top four places..." <--- it should be "and be in the top" instead of "and _to_ be in the top"
"I think that reading books really improve vocabulary and sentence flow." <--- change to "I think that reading books really _improves_ vocab..."
"More typing speed means..." <----Change to "Better typing speed..."
This is just a blog post though, so small issues in grammar are more than forgivable - just be careful normally, hm?
The structure is pretty well laid out. It's very clear and straight-forward, which in this case is a good thing. Later on, you'll learn how not be so conspicuous in your formatting, but that comes with time.
Assignment for today: Who or what has influenced you the most, and why/how?
