According to Benjamin Franklin, "without continual growth and progress, such words as improvement, achievement, and success have no meaning." This quote is reflecting my situation in this semester. My average grade in last semester was totally acceptable and much better than usual average grade I have. Even though, my accomplishment has no meaning without improvement. Consequently, I would like to improve this grade in the second semester.
First things I can improve without doubt is my history grade. The grade i received last semester was barely not acceptable in my opinion. If the teacher does not grade it based on point, I would fail. To accomplish this, I analyzed history grade. As an analysis, I have to improve the homework grade. Because the homework grade is a lowest and will improve other grade as well. One thing I have to make sure for it is finishing task before the dead line. Because I am not good time manager, I always leave tasks until the due date.
One thing which I can improve more without any problem is my time management skill. I can use some time manager or task management application to manage my time and tasks effectively and quickly. By accomplishing this, I would have more time to work on each project. This means I would have more time available to finish extra task.
By improving my task efficiency, I would like to go American or British University. I still did not figure out which university I would like to go. However, I am sure that I need an ability to be able to applied by university. SAT, SAT Subject and IB curriculum score is some of must important score I should have. Consequent, This year and next year are going to be must important year which I have to put more effort than lasts year. As I wrote at first, I would like to improve and succeed on my history course and to have good time management skill. I believe these effort would not hurt me at all and help me a lot.
As a conclusion, an improvement I should have in this semester is to manage time and tasks effectively by using application or any other way, and to have the high history grade. Finally, I would like to go to American or British university with high score of SAT, SAT subject and IB.
