Quality, effort and understanding
I am supposed to tell the truth about my work this quarter, therefore I will.
I would describe my quality of work fair. It was not the most amazing thing in the world, but it also was not the worst. Quality, effort, and understanding are the three most important elements that are needed in an assignment. My hero's journey poster was my best work. It showed mostly the whole criteria needed. I put a lot of effort on this assignment because I knew that it would be an important grade. Effort is needed in an assignment because it shows the teacher how much work the student put in. In the hero's journey poster, I had a lot of understanding. In an assignment, understanding has to be involved to get a good grade.

Greatest success
During the quarter, I had many successes.
My greatest success this quarter has been membean. Membean is an online website that helps students and adults increase their vocabulary. In my english class, we started membean since the beginning of the year. For five or more days, I study at least fifteen minutes worth of vocabulary. When I came to high school, I was very scared because my sister was a freshman last year and she had to challenge herself a lot. I have horrible vocabulary and with membean, I improved a lot. In english class, we had a membean quiz regarding 10 new words and I got 100%. Membean is a great way to master vocabulary because of the activities it offers and the fact that it allows the users to choose the time frame.

Greatest Challenge
Challenges define if students can overcome them.
My greatest challenge this quarter was doing the discussions regarding "The Princess Bride" by William Goldman.There were discussions every week regarding the book. In the first discussion I was confused on what we supposed to be doing so I got an F. I was very disappointed, therefore I did the revision. The teacher liked it and gave me the highest grade on a revision a 83%.
On the following discussions, I put more effort in the understanding of the criteria. Although the second discussion was still rough, I managed to get a C. I still did not like the grade, but I had improved from a F to C. At this rate, I would manage an A in the next discussion, if I put the effort. Gladly, on the third discussion I scored a 96%. I was the happiest person alive because getting an A+ in english class is hard. This 96 meant that I would not have to do a revision and that anything was possible.
On the last two discussions, I got two more A+'s. I finally managed to master the understanding of the criteria in the last three discussions. The discussions were made up of the S.C.O.U.T sheet and the discussion in the class. The S.C.O.U.T sheet needed effort because I had to look up examples of the section. In the end, I realized that students need to understand how a teacher grades, to pass the class.

Finding the issue
Issues are everywhere.
For the following quarter, I think I should improve my grammar in writing. I always glance at assignment before turning it in, but I do not really look for grammar mistakes. Glancing is bad because students do not find errors on the paper because the brain makes up words. Believe it or not, the brain can make a student see one word but then the teacher does not see it because the student never wrote it, the brain made it up. English class seems challenging but can seem fine if the instructions are followed correctly. It is funny how the teachers always say to revise and proofread the paper and some students do not follow directions.

Improvement
Improving my grammar issues will help me as a student in English class because English is all about grammar. When I revise my assignments, I will fix the errors and eventually get better grades. My errors are most of the time simple mistakes. If I had revised my assignments before turning them, I would have not questioned myself in the score I would get on the assignment. I think that 90% of students make the same mistake as I do. One thing that students should not do is blame it on the teacher. Many students tell their parents that the teacher does not like them when clearly they made mistakes. Students should acknowledge their errors and fix them.
Overall, this quarter went fast.
