Learning is Fun

In 7th grade, it would be very clear that I learned many things in that year and I also went to extra classes just to improve my skills. I have 7 normal classes and I would be talking about. They are humanities, math/science, gym, computers, art, spanish, and reading. As I said, I attended to 2 extra classes in school. They are computer clinic and web club, This way; I could learn more extra things, just in case I get left behind on something.

One of my favorite classes is humanities and I definitely got a lot of skills in that class. The class includes history and grammar. You need to learn about history because you should know the background of your country, like the history of your country and what your country did for all of us. Also think of why everything happened and the causes of them. In history, I learned that America isn�t all perfect and not all good. Sometimes they make mistakes and do things when they shouldn�t really do. An example is when Christopher Columbus came to America and he said that he �discovered� America. When he said he �discovered� America, he stole the Native Americans idea because they found the country. He killed a lot of Native Americans in the process. He killed them in his own free will. Also, America butts in into a lot of wars. America might think it�s good, but other people might think it�s bad. The other people might think that it�s none of America�s business at all. That is why some countries discriminate against America.

You should learn about grammar because writing is a big part of your life. If you don�t know how to use correct grammar, people might not know what you are talking about even though you know how to write. If you want to write to one of your family members or a friend, and you don�t know how to use correct grammar to write with, they wouldn�t know what you are talking about. Some things I learned were how to use the past, present, and future words. I learned how to use them and when to use them. It was a good thing to me or else I wouldn�t know how to write past, present, and future words.

In science class, there were many things I learned like about the different systems in the human body. I learned about the digestive system and the different cells in the body. You should learn about science because you could experiment on different things. You also need to know things bout your body or else you don�t know what it does and you won�t know what would happen to your body if you do this and that. In the digestive system, when you eat your food, there are many different ways it goes down. First, it goes to the esophagus. Then, it goes to the stomach when the stomach acid breaks down the food even more. After that, it goes to the small intestine. Then it goes to the large intestine. It goes to the anus, where you poop it all out. It�s where all the waste comes out from.

I learned many things in math class. Math is very important in your entire life. You use it almost everyday, even when you play games. When you get a job, most of the jobs have math in it. An example is when you are a cashier. You need to add, subtract, and multiply. You also need to know the currency. That is also math. In math, I learned a lot about integers. The 2 different integers are positive and negative. An example is if you add a positive number and a negative number. The sum would be lower than the positive number because you are adding a negative number. If you add two positive numbers, it would be higher than the positive number. I also learned about the area and perimeter of a rectangular or a square. I also know how to find the surface area of a rectangle or a square.

Spanish is a new language to me, so I don�t know much about the new language. What I do know is that it would have a different accent than english. Spanish could be important to you if you want to be a translator or something. Also, if someone needs your help, and they speak a different language, you could help them. In the class of Spanish, you could learn different words from different kinds of items. Some of the first spanish words are the numbers. They are uno, dos, tres� etc.

I also had a computer class. In computer class, you learn many things about writing in the computer. Everything in a computer that is typed in are either turned to zeros or ones. That is an important part of a computer. Computer could be important to you if you want to create a website or try to fix your computer. If you know all this stuff, you might even know how to make a computer for yourself. Computers could also be important to you if you want to play computer. In computers, you could learn how to make a website. All you have to do is just find a website where you could create one or you could make a website, which has a name for yourself. Then you could do whatever you want in your website. Put whatever things you like there. You can also you could learn how to use microsoft word, microsoft excel, etc�

In art class, I had to learn how to draw our self by using mirrors. We had to observe ourselves in the mirrors first and then we draw ourselves. First, I needed to do the outline of my own face. That was kind of the hard part because I needed to try to get the exact outline of my own face. Later, we worked on the ears, eyes, mouth, hair, and the extras. The part I hated the most was the eyes and ears part because it�s pretty hard drawing it when you are not really good in drawing it. I like drawing, but I�m not really that good at it. We also had a class called improvisational. It�s a kind of drama thing in art class. You had to act something else by someone just saying it. It�s like you have no time to prepare. The whole point of this is to do something right in the top of your head. Just think of something you are going to do when someone says something. I tried to master that skill and I think I did.

Gym is a very good subject indeed. It could help your body in many different ways. First, you could move your neck around so your neck would be a bit more straightened out. When you do the wrist movements, it could make your fingers better and your wrist better, so you could do better in typing. Another workout is sit-ups. It could make you loosen up a bit in your stomach or your waist. The push-ups could do the same, but it could also put a bit more muscles into your arms, stomach, and legs. The jumping jacks could make you a bit more straightened out and you could work out your arms and legs like that. You could also practice your jumping skills.

By the 8th grade, I would try to meet the criteria by trying very hard to get a good grade. Also, I would try to not call it and participate a little more. That way, I could get a better grade. I would try to cut down on the side conversations. It would bother me too much when I�m doing work or talking. That is rude anyways. In 7th grade, I think I fooled around too much. That made me lose a bit of my concentration on my work. It made me get a bad grade in my behavior. I think I could do better if I didn�t do all these things and did everything that was right for me. That could�ve at least given me a better grade. By the 8th grade, I would try to get better scores, so I could go to the high school that I want. If I do real well, I might get accepted into the school I want to go to.

In conclusion, I think I would do a lot better if I don�t do any more bad things, like fool around, not pay attention, don�t call out, etc� I�ve learned all my mistakes and I�ll try to learn from them. All together, I think I did real well in 7th grade, but I know that I would do better in the 8th grade. I would try harder.
