Reflections
a. How did I perform in my academics last year?

- My academic performance last year always had its up and downs. I've experienced
difficulty keeping up with my own goals for attainment as a student and had issues
keeping up with my life dealing with any circumstance that came my way. However,
things in my life have drastically changed in the last few months, allowing me to re-
establish myself to pursue my career path and be a better student at Notre Dame
University. I've experienced difficulty keeping up with my own goals for attainment as a
student and had issues keeping up with my life dealing with any circumstance that came
my way. However, things in my life have drastically changed in the last few months,
allowing me to re-establish myself to pursue my career path and be a better student at
Notre Dame University. I learned to take control of my life and how to handle any
problem in a way that would not negatively affect me or hinder me from succeeding. I
have been through a lot and realize that I'm certainly worthy of more. I have changed my
perspective on life. I have understood that staying focused on my career path is
valuable, and I'm determined to further strengthen my knowledge. I'm at a moment in life
where I am determined to have it as quickly as possible.

b. What are my strengths and weaknesses?

- As a student, I live up to my determination, focus on finding encouragement from

important people in my life, and accept my setbacks, which mostly hold to my goal of
being the best version of myself. Dedication is my greatest attribute as a student. I
always want to put any effort into my best until the end, no matter how tough it
is. Working with inattentive group members, for example, is a complexity I've
encountered many times as a student. Perhaps in the presence of such obstacles, I
prefer to remain calm and search for ways with others to solve the problems. However, if
the matter is not addressed, I will continue to work on the task until it is accomplished to
my satisfaction. I used to lose track of time when I was learning new kinds of
stuff because I was so focused on it, so I've got to attempt to be more balanced and
handle my time productively. I discovered that making to-do lists and keeping to a
timeline helped me become more organized and allowed me to enjoy every part of my
life.

c. What are my expectations for this school year?

- I am so excited to start my last year here at Notre Dame University-Senior High School.
I am looking forward to the future but I will also miss all the incredible times I've had
here. I think that this year will be exceptionally fun and enjoyable once I wrap up the
college choice process. I can't hold up to choose a college and prepare to require the
following step in my life. I think senior year could be an incredible chance to learn
numerous new things about who I am and who I want to be. Moreover, I need this year
 to be one that I can enjoy with my companions and family before I part ways with them. I
have made many truly great companions here and I know that I will remain in touch with
them for a long time.

d. How do I use my strengths in the realization of my expectations?

- To make progress in terms of our personal development, we as individuals must

understand the value of our benefits and limitations. Individuality comes from having
diverse goals, priorities, and specific characteristics. I do assume that acknowledging my
strengths and weaknesses would encourage me in being a more self-aware and well-
rounded person. My strengths serve as my motivational attributes where it let me took
the choice to push out all the negativity, both from myself and anyone else. I ignored the
voice in my head telling me I wasn't good enough and reflected on what would make me
satisfied. I finally realized that I was just pursuing those paths because I presumed that
was what other people would consider. I was discouraged if I let my vision grow to all
the possible possibilities, people would condemn me or tell me to be more rational. So
we must embrace our unique strengths no matter what happens.

e. What characteristics should I possess in order to achieve goals for this school
year?

- Thoughts ended up reality by putting them into action and our actions are driven by our
capacity to set objectives. Objectives characterize the victory of the startup and our
capacity not only to set them but really to work towards turning them into reality is what
will increment the chances of our victory. Be positive and optimistic, the primary step for
setting out on the way towards your objectives includes having a positive and idealistic
mindset. This state of mind ought to be kept up with each step. It ought to be the motor
that drives our activities and gives criticism each time I get one step closer. Be ready to
learn, there’s consistently something new to grasp that will assist and help us progress
and develop. Being open will help me to be effective. We ought to keep our intellect
open to the conceivable outcomes and openings around us. Encompass yourself with
individuals who can educate you knew things. Be open to new encounters. Learn to
think before you say no to something, and take your time to reflect and assess the
choices.
