School…

It’s been a minute (again..)! The last time I updated the blog was March, which was before the hectic month of April. Everything went alright with the comeptitions (excluding DECA to be honest), it was overall pretty fun. I was so incredibly burnt out returning back home that I really struggled still having motivation to study for tests and keep up with everything. Also, AP scores come out tomorrow!?!? I really only studied one day for the AP World exam so I woudn’t be suprised if I got a 4.

Kelly’s Goals for the 2023-2024 School Year (Completed):

  1. Finish the wrestling season.
    • Do not quit!
    • Technically I didn’t quit, so maybe? I got kicked out the very last week of the season because of too many absences. 😭
  2. Mantain a 4.0 GPA.
    • You cannot do bad on another chemistry test, again.
      • I did bad again…but still got that 4.0!!
  3. Go to Worlds for VEX.
    • Two time world qual! Got second in State, won skills champion and excellence.
  4. Go to ICDC for DECA.
    • Fourth in State! I was suprised I even placed at SCDC. I was talking to these two girls before the test and they were saying that they wanted to be accountants and are taking college level accounting courses 😭.
  5. Meet new people and try new things.
    • I feel like I’m getting better with opening myself up, but It could still take some work.
    • Kinda folded a bit at ICDC, but I’ve been doing okay. I don’t think this one can be crossed out, though.
  6. Become a better writer.
    • Did not happen.
  7. Be happy.
  8. Do well at ICDC.
    • Get a medal for high test score
    • LMAO. Definitely did not happen.
  9. Do well at Worlds.
    • Get a award maybe? Meet cool teams and learn new things!
    • Placed fine in quals, didn’t win anything, though.
  10. Hold a conversation with her for 2 minutes.
    • RIP 🗿
    • I’m over it!!

Reflection

Over all, I think this year was really valuable. I grew a lot, in good and bad ways, but I’m happy with everything that I accomplished. If I could sum up this one school year in one word, it would be opening. I feel like I really opened up, socially and academically.
