It has been five months since we first started classes back in September. In FLIGHT classes, we have covered a variety of projects, assignments and topics over this first half of the school year. My work has varied throughout the year (mostly due to how busy I was at any given time), and I have worked hard to complete all of my work as best as I can by the deadline. I have lately been trying to stray away from my current habits of procrastination, which have been an issue through grade 8 until now. One of my goals for 2015 is to stop procrastinating in hope to improve my work habits and work overall. I want to produce top-quality work for the rest of my grade nine year and beyond.

I have spent some time reviewing my work from September until now, and I think that most of my best work has been (for lack of a better term) ‘word based’. Voice overs, writing, stories, essays, and other versions of written work. These areas seem to be my strengths in my FLIGHT course. Though, I do have problems when it comes to other work. When I am not interested, or have no ideas for an assignment or project, it is hard for me to get going on it. The more I procrastinate starting my projects, the less time I have to finish them. This can negatively effect the outcome of my work, and cause me to rush to get the job done.

I have spent most of this year playing to my strengths, which fall mostly in the humanities category. When something doesn’t play to my strengths, or I get bored of it, my weaknesses come into play. My biggest weaknesses being procrastination and not doing my work to my full potential. I plan to tackle these problems and put my best foot forward for the rest of my grade 9 year.
