2021 Reflection

2021 was a very interesting year as Covid majorly affected it. Throughout the whole year it was difficult and stressful as there were many assessments and test. Although I managed to complete all of them to a high standard I was still a little worried about them. I mainly felt happy throughout the whole year but there were sometimes when I felt anxious because we had to write an essay or there was a challenging test coming up. The main difference between year 7 and year 8 was that the assessments we did were more advanced and difficult lifting the standards a bit more. The most enjoyable experience last year was when we went on camp. We drove down to Nanga Bush Camp and we settled into our houses and dorms. The one thing I learnt from this from teamwork and friendships between all my peers and friends. Camp made me feel happy because I was spending time with friends for a solid week and we didn’t have to do any work and all we did was fun activities.

In this year I also did accelerated math which meant that I was doing the math for the grade above. It was mostly difficult as the content we covered I hadn’t been exposed to previously. I didn’t perform as well as I would have liked in math but then again I was doing a year above so it was expected for me to not do as well. In my other subjects I performed to my expectation achieving an ‘A’ in all my mesh subjects. I didn’t really enjoy the assessments last year especially in Hass as we had to write many essays.

Overall last year was an enjoyable experience with many ups and downs.

Goal: I want to achieve a 75% or higher in the next English assessment.
