Junior Year Academic Reflection
Fall

You are now about twenty months away from high school graduation. Over the course of those
months, you will be starting to make decisions about who you are as a young adult, where you
want to be, and what you want to do with your life beyond high school. Take a moment to reflect
on where you are and where you are going.

Think of a class that you have had success with over the course or your high school career. Why
do you think you were successful in this particular class? What did you do to help yourself?
What did your teacher do? What have you discovered about what works for you as a learner?

A class I had success with was my biology class freshman year. I worked really hard in
that class and got my work done earlier. I focused really hard on that class, it was one
of my harder classes. Our teacher gave us a lot of opportunities for extra credit. I like to
do things ahead of time.

Now think of a class that you have struggled with in some way. Why do you think you had a
harder time with this particular class? What did you do/not do that might have impacted the
experience? What might have helped?

I struggled with my honors world history class my sophomore year. I had a hard time
because the test were very hard and i didn’t study hard for them. There was also a lot of
work involved. I should of studied more for the test.

At this point, where do you see yourself when you graduate from high school? College, J.C.,
trade school, work world, travel,....?

I see myself going to a four year college, but if I have to go to the jc I will.

What goals will you have to accomplish, academically speaking, in order to get yourself to
where you want to be?

I have to get very good graded in CHS all of my classes and I

have to stay on top of all of my Portfolio work.

What SPECIFIC strategies could you adopt over the course of this year to help yourself?

I could do extra credit, I could study harder, and I could take good classes to get the
grade bump.
