5 ways to be successful

My five points to have a successful freshman year

1.) Get to class on time

• i will make sure that i do not goof around and waste time because if you get to class late there are consequences and thats not good. Also you can't just say your locker got jammed everyday because they will catch on that you are just talking to friends in the hallway 

2.)Organization 

• I will keep all my papers in the correct place. If you are not organized you will loose things and that will affect your grade if you don't turn in your papers.

3.)Note taking

• During all my classes i will take good meaningful notes. By taking good notes it can help with my studying. If you take poor notes you will have nothing to study and do bad on your test/quiz

4.) Participate in class

• you should participate in class because it shows that you are making an effort to do well. If you just sit there and don't speak the teacher isn't going to know if you aren't understanding anything so its always better to ask questions then be lost

5.) Activity's 

• I will always do some kind of after school activity. It will help because you can meet new people and its a great way to have fun

Today in class we did many things. When we first arrived everyone was confused about blogging. Most people didn't send them to the correct place. So everyone had to meet with you and figure out what they did wrong. After everyone figured out how to correctly send blogs in we then went over some class things. We talked about how everything was going to work especially cyber days. Also we learned that you do not except extra credit. You have a good reason because some people that didn't try could get away by having extra credit and pass when all the other people worked hard to get there grade.

first day

My first day of john carroll was awesome! Everybody is so nice and helps us a ton. My classes are fun because i know so many people in them! The only hard part about today is my locker, it keeps getting jammed! I thought today was going to be much harder. I underestimated it because all my classes were so easy to find then expected, i thought i would never be able to find a class. Another part of john carroll that I enjoy are the free mods! Since we have so many a day we can use each of them to do different things. Overall i really enjoyed it and am so glad i chose to attend John carroll.
