A good, short e-VAL-uation

Good news! I've been keeping up with the homework and I finished chp 18 and 19 on time. I'm just trying to finish strong as my senior year winds down. So far, so good. I also believe I've been doing well on my online practice tests and chapter tests. As for now, I'll keep moving forward, specifically chapter 21 cornell and practice problems. Also, I can't wait to start my high school portfolio. I got a lot to show everybody :D

My final quarter, and my last days of Vallejo High School...

Over the spring break I did... Chps 23&24 cornell notes and online practice problems, so I had a productive spring break I suppose. What I'm going to do to finish my senior year strong in AP physics is just to do all the work I can and raise my grade so I actually have a good grade at the end of the year. My motivation to do this will be graduation and the fact that I've come so far, so why not finish my senior year off with some good grades. This year in AP physics turned out to be a lot different than I pictured it.. and it was my fault of why that picture wasn't the real outcome. I think a huge reason why I didn't do so well in this class, besides time-management, was that I was lacking the mathematical background that the calculus students had. I never went into calculus so from the beginning.. like objects sliding down ramps, was hard for me because I had never learn the trigonometry behind it. A lot of stuff was too new for me, and when I go to napa valley community college, I am going to start from the basics again and work my way back up so I have a strong foreground before I hop back into physics.

ps: I CAN"T wait for the ELECTRONIC portfolio of what my 4 years of Vallejo High School was like. :D

my 3rd quarter eval: College heartbreak, Waves & Optics, and my plan of action for my last quarter in Vallejo High

My performance this quarter has nowhere been my best. I myself and fairly disappointed myself. I had fallen into this idea where, "Cal Poly didn't accept me, so why try? Why should I still do this?" Earlier this quarter, I had checked all my college applications, I saw that I had gotten accepted to SF state and Sacramento State. This was fine, but I had no intention to go straight to these school, and maybe not at all. My goal school was Cal Poly. I was crushed when they didn't accept me, I took it the wrong way, and I let my pessimism and bad habits get to me. This last week or two I've been trying to make up the work.. and I've turned a considerable amount of work into fusion. I know some of it was late, and it wasn't all the work, but atleast I'm got some work in again, right? I hope you agree, Mr. Tillay. Besides that, I think I should get a 2/D this quarter because I did just that.. Below Average. [I wouldn't be suprised if I even got an F because I know I did fail the two goals of this class, learning physics/ how a college course works, and taking and passing the AP exam.] I lost aim in why I even took this course, and now that I've started to regain my self-esteem back, It's too late. I am not going to take the AP Physics test. I let my family down, Mr. Tillay down, and ultimately myself.[I'll continue this in my 3rd part, my plan of action.] I'm trying not to regret my decisions this year; the saying "no regrets" come to mind, but it's hard not to, when you've come so far and fallen.

My plan of action... is to graduate, go to Napa Valley community college, and go from there. I know i got accepted to Sac & SF state, but I don't know if I want to go there or not. I just need to not ruin my chance at an education like I did here.
