Personal Display Board #2

This seventh grade year has gone by fast! I am not the person you met six or seven months ago.  This year (2012-2013) has been an inspiring year for me.  I've changed big time, society was the number one impact on me.  It's like I am a brand new person with a different attitude, routine, and life.  I've changed in three ways as a student, a leadership student, and as a person.

Six months ago, I've joined leadership.  I was a seventh grader with the mind of a sixth grader.  Until I made the choice to join leadership.  At first I didn't know the "real" meaning of leadership. I thought it meant a person you listen to, look up to, and follow.  But when I joined leadership I realized it means a whole lot more (Leadership is about responsibility not ability).  When I first joined leadership I was scared because if I made a mistake I would get into big trouble...  But you actually do.  But anyways I was shy and if I needed help I wouldn't ask because I was scared of what the person would think.  If you have a question ask because if you don't you'll regret it because you'll never know the answer.  When I first joined leadership I didn't really like or I wasn't really interested in it.  I didn't like the fact that I didn't get the chance to go out to recess or lunch.  Now I realized that i joined and if you join you can't really back out because you are taking a big risk.  That's the whole point of leadership...  not exactly.  I have more perseverance now, I'm getting my responsibilities down.

As I was in leadership a lot of changes affected me as a student.  When you are in leadership your teacher expect a lot from you.  Like a lot.  If you do something wrong or a bad doing it changes your teacher point of view towards you.  So my goal was to be the best student I can.  For example, pay attention in class, get my homework done and turned in, and be in the best behavior I can be or a good example in class.  I even had to keep my grades up because in leadership you are required to have good grades... not really because you should already be receiving good grades.  I have come responsible for myself so far.  Using all the GLOs everyday in class.  I even have to keep up with my blogs and AR goal.  I've started making gaols for myself.  Before I was the same but I have become more responsible and had more perseverance.

I've changed a lot as a person.  Before I was a little careless but I knew how to be a leader... a little bit.  Since i joined leadership my responsibilities has increased.  I wasn't really good at time management, sometimes I used to turn in my work not on time.  But in leadership you HAVE to be on time.  Right now I am an over achiever...  Is that a good thing?  It's weird because before I didn't care about my homework, grades, and school.  Especially now my body is changing and growing and I have to take care of it.  I'm growing older and older everyday, I have to grow up and make good decisions.  I didn't understand a lot of things before.  Now I do.  Adolescence is the time of age people start having girlfriends or boyfriends, crushes, and insecurities.  This time age is when your hormones starts getting crazier.  I have learned or I have to start learning how to control myself.  I don't really think those things are important.  I've learned to think of the imperative things and be more persistent.  One of my goals is to stop procrastinating a lot!  I'm turning irresponsible again so now this is the time to make goals.  See I've changed a lot, just in six months!
