Determination
Caden K.
Theme
My theme is to try your hardest and give it your all because when you don't give up and you keep doing your best you do better than not trying and it pays off.
Siser
My sister hasn't always tried in school. She used to always mess around and just this year she started to try in school and do whats she's supposed to. This influenced me to start to try in school and it helped me to not give up and want to do as well as her.
Mom
My mom had a big role because when I got bad grades and did really good on itbs she got really disappointed because she knew I didnt try and it made me feel bad and she was going to ground for 6 months if I got an f without trying my hardest during the next year. I started try in school then so i do fun things and not be limited to what things I can do.
Best friend
My best friend doesn't try and always messes around and gets bad grades. I thought then that i should try and it'd help me get better grades and just do better in general. I wanted to start trying and compare myself to him and i am doing really good right now and I want to help him now in school.
Setting
Norwalk was my setting because its where all my school happened and is what i wanted to start trying harder in. I like the school because its harder than most schools and it gives me a challenge. The school district is good there arent many fights and the people aren't that mean most of the time. The teachers help me because they are all nice and they give good instructions on how to do the assignments.
Bad grades.
I got bad grades and I always did good in school before that and It encouraged me to stop messing around and and do good. I always got upset when i got bad grades and it just makes me feel bad even though I know im smart and so i started to work hard in school my main problem was that I wasn't getting most of my homework done and I was getting incompletes.
Mom was going to ground me.
I Got my report card and my mom grounded me for a month and said if I get even one f next year that ill be grounded for six months if I dont try my hardest. I hate being grounded so this encouraged me to try harder and turn in all my work. She was mad because I did really well on itbs. So they next year I tried way harder and I didn't mess around as much and I took school more seriously
Sister started trying in school.
My sister started trying in school and got good grades and she used to always never try and mess around and so it encouraged me to try to get all my work done and add more details on my homework. I started paying more attention and not messing around as much and I started to get all my homework done.
Setting number two (house)
My house is a big part of my theme. Its where I do my homework and where I live. My mom gets my grades here and talks to me about them. If I need help on my homework my mom will help me. I get to school from this house and I live in Des Moines so it was harder to get to Norwalk schools, but my mom and dad love the district and wanted me to go to Norwalk. Norwalks schools are harder than Des moines schools. They are a grade harder if you had a b at Des moines schools you would have a c at Norwalk.
How I showed success.
I started to get better grades my not getting many incompletes and working harder on tests and homework and I ended the quarter with no f's. So far to im doing well in the second quarter and i plan on keep trying my hardest and ill take school seriously and I wont mess around as much and ill get all my work done and everyone will be happy.
