Week 26

I had my first full week of volleyball practice this week. That was fun. I actually enjoy practice unlike some people who think it takes up too much time. The only thing I don't like about practice is the warm up. Also I don't like having to sub out. I know that has to happen but I wish it didn't. I still need to program but I'm not exactly sure what classes I'm going to take. I need to see my 4 year plan again.

Week 25

This week was really short for me. I didn't get back to school until Thursday because of the band trip to New York. That was really fun except it was also really tiring and I had no time to do any homework. I can't wait to go again senior year, but going somewhere else would be cool too.

Dialogue 2

“Hey, Molly. How did that SAT go?” Stuart asked curiously.

“Really well actually. I finished the whole thing and I think I aced it.” Molly said proudly.

“That’s great! Then you have a great chance to go into any college you want.”

“I know I’m really excited. A good SAT means everything.” Molly said enthusiastically.

“Well, not necessarily everything. Grades and out of school activities matter too.” Stuart replied.

“What are you talking about? If I’m smart enough I can get into any college I want.”

“Not necessarily. Colleges like to see a well rounded person who works hard. Not just someone who is naturally gifted.”

“Shoot. I blew off all my classes since I thought it didn't matter.”

“Well you work harder these next few years then so that you have a better chance with a good college.”

“Man I really regret not working hard now. I’m going to have to work twice as hard to get into a good college.”

“That does stink, but you gotta do what you gotta do.”

“I guess I’ll start by doing this dialogue paper for English.”

“That sounds like a good idea. It will also help to participate in extracurricular activities to boost your applications.

“Wow. I really did screw up not taking anything seriously. I just hope I can fix this mess I put myself in in the next few years.”

“I think you can just work hard and don’t give up.”
