Reflection of Term 1

Hello everyone!

Today i am going to reflect on my performance for term 1, on what i am happy about, and what i am really really depressed of.

First, to start with the negative feelings. This year, my results so far, are really bad, as compared to last year. For example, for Chinese, i have consistently got an A2 for every term, last year. However, this term, i got an appalling C6. Another example would be infocom studies. It is suppose to be an easy A1 for everyone, and last year, i passed all tests with flying colours. However, this term, i got a straight B3. i am really, really disappointed with myself and i have been searching myself for an answer to why my grades are so lousy, and i managed to come up with some conclusions.

Firstly, recently, i have been playing computer games quite frequently. Under the influence of some people in class, i started playing this particular game called "Blackshot", a first person shooting game. Therefore, in my free time, after i finish my work, i would always go online, and play together with my friends, and thus, valuable revising time is cut short. I am really afraid i will be addicted to it, and thus, i would be uninstalling it, and only playing it during the holidays. I feel this is a major factor in making my grades drop, and i definitely will not let it get in my way.

Next, another factor would be my EP3. As the competitions are just round the corner, i have been really busy with training, which are held almost everyday, on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Furthermore, every morning, i have to report to training as well, before flag raising, and i have to wake up much earlier than usual. This makes me really drowsy and tired, and thus, i will not be able to concentrate in class, and will often snooze in class. However, i have found a solution to this, and that is to constantly participate in class, so as to keep me awake, and also, at the same time, i will be able to get good oral participation points. It is just like killing two birds with one stone!!

I hope i can really change on these bad habits, and also be able to juggle my EP3 and play time with my academic studies as well!

Next, on what i am happy about. Firstly, on math. Last year, my math was my best subject, and i often get really high marks, like 98, 97 etc. Furthermore, in term 2 last year, i managed to get an astonishing 100 marks for both tests in that term, and my parents were really proud of me. Also, this term, i an A1 again, and furthermore, was the highest in class! I am really happy, and feel really proud of myself.

Another thing that i am really happy about is that I have a really good grade for Science, and has the highest grade in class as well!Last year, even though i consistently got A1 in every term, they were all low A1s, and were not outstanding enough. However, this term, i managed to get 91.5 marks out of the full 100 marks, and i am really proud of that as well!

However, i vow that i will not be complacent, and will still work harder for the tests, and will set higher goals. Also, i will definitely buck up on the other two subjects that i had mentioned previously, and i am sure i will definitely score better the next term! ((:

Thank you for your kind attention!

Yours sincerely,
Mervin :D
PS (Do work hard as well, for those who did badly too! Do not be upset or anything, as this is just the beginning of yet another long, long year! (: )
