My Dreams

There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure. So, I am no longer afraid. Failure will always be a part of life and if you do not fail, you do not learn. I dream to play in the Olympics on the Woman’s USA Olympic volleyball team. I also dream to play for a spectacular college. Lastly, I hope to meet Misty May Trainor and Kerri Walsh and hopefully get tips on improving my skills. I dream big but I plan on making all my dreams come true. The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.

OGT tests

Honestly, the OGT tests that make me most nervous are Math and Social Studies. It is not because they are hard or anything, it is just because the information does not stick as well as the other tests. We learn so much that I just do not remember any of it. We learn all these equations and theorems and postulates in math, and we learn all these dates and wars and names in social studies. It is a lot to take in. I think the best way to succeed in these tests is to just read carefully and take extensive notes on the things I am unsure of. If I do not remember a certain topic, I can reread about it until I understand. If I am unsure about how to work out a certain problem or equation, I can keep doing practice problems until I can basically do it with my eyes closed. A little extra practice and reading could never hurt.
