How I grew as a student this semester
Cornell note-taking
Cornell note taking is a good strategy to do when you need to study for an exam, quiz, or test. Cornell notes have helped me a lot throughout this year. In the beginning of the year i thought Cornell notes were a waste of time. I didn't know why we had to do it or how we could use it to study. But now Cornell notes have helped me throughout the year and I am so happy I learn this strategy.
Tutorial Request Forms (TRF's)
Tutorial Request Forms (TRF) are papers we use if we need help or if we don't understand a problem. We have smaller groups so it is easier to get the help you need on a assignment. When we started TRF i didn't like it because you had to include Cornell notes to the problem. Now i see that the Cornell notes help me. I really like how I have grown throughout the year as a student with TRF's.
Organization
Organization is the key to success. When you are organized things are easier to find and also are quicker. Before I decided to take AVID, I always would be organized in the beginning of the school year then towards the end get less and less organized. With AVID being organized if apart of my grade so i like to get new supplies every month to be successful in organization.
Public speaking
Public speaking is something we do in avid to help us prepare for when we have to speak in public. Myself as an individual is good at speaking in public. But i learned something's that i didn't know that helped me grow this year.

An organized binder is good for a lot if people. Most of the time my binder is organized because I like to buy new school supplies. AVID has helped me a lot with our monthly binder checks.

Doing community service is a good way to get your hours in. Volunteering is good because not only are you helping your community you are also helping other people. And this semester has helped me grow and realize that helping other is good.
