Advice for the class 2016

8th grade isn't much different from 7th. There are a couple differences like the teachers, resource, and field trips. You will have some different teachers but some of the same. They will trust with more stuff and they will give you more room to work. On the other hand they will expect you to get your work done on time. If you don't there will be a punishment. For resource the new thing will be honors. Honors is for kids that get above a C in every class. I would suggest you get in it because it much more relaxed and you can talk with your friends without getting in trouble.  Finally the field trips. The field trips are so much better then the one you had in 7th grade. The best one is 6 flags. It was a blast this year. Everybody had fun and there is something for everybody to do there even if you don't like rides. So if you stay out of trouble that is something to look forward too. That is my advice for you for 8th grade.

Reflection

Over the year I have noticed what I'm good at and what I'm not so good at. I've become better at things like using a stronger vocabulary and understanding what a thesis is better. Those have made my scores go up a lot as the year went on. However at the beginning of the year I wasn't the best writer. One my first essays I scored a 70%. Luckily it didn't count as a score. Another thing is that my teachers helped me, by teaching me stuff that I was very good at and it helped a lot. I improved on my essays and on one of my last essays I scored a 94%. I finished the year with an A instead of a C-. That is how my year in LA went.

High School Experience

Last Thursday at the High School activity it helped me a little. The thing that it helped me with is I got to meet the Vice Principal. The thing that I liked about is that we got free ice cream and got to talk to a high school student that we will see in the halls next year.That is what I thought about the activity last Thursday.
