Freshmen and Sophs reflect on the semester

The students answered the following questions in their journals today:
1. Academically, what went well for you this semester?
2. What did not go well?
3. What are your academic goals for next semester?
4. What are your personal goals for next semester?
5. What changes will you have to make or habits will you have to form in order to achieve your goals?

Some of them had big trouble with math, others did great in math. Some had problems getting their homework turned in in all of their classes! I think they all want to try to do better next semester. They said the need to try and overcome their laziness.

We talked quite a bit about college entrance and whether or not they had already blown it. I hate hearing them say, "I'll never go to college!" I talked about the different ways you can get to a 4-year school (community college, etc) and that it's really never too late.
