I believe that paying attention in class is one my strengths that focuses on college readiness. I like to jot down notes when I am watching clips that the teacher has brought in or when I am listening to the teacher even though the teacher doesn’t say to do so. I just like to be careful. Over the next few years, I would like to work on my organization skills. I tend to get messy often and my backpack seems to be stuck full of papers.This quote's meaning is relating to ASTI constitution because it is shown what is the goal that the writer had. I think what David said is that he mentioned what his strength is and how could he do to improve himself in college classes. David also talks about paying attention is not enough, he needs to jot down some notes that the teachers havn't tought about, which also call your thoughts. David also talks about what should he still need to work on-- his organization skill. As his classmate, I notice that he does pretty good at this, but he still think he needs to improve. Perhaps his stuck full of papers really make annoying to him because I know. For me, I think I need to improve on my organization skills, too. One of the reasons is that I always put different period handouts into others' period folders. It causes me sometimes hard to find my papers because I would not remember which one paper is in which folder or binder. I try to recall but always cannot really know where I put. In the fulture, I will try to organize well like a college student does. I will also act like David did--try to improve my strengths.

After reading "infinities" of classmates' good works, I have founded one of the golden line that is in David's reflections:

"Remarks by President Barack Obama" Reflection
In the speech, Barack Obama had mentioned that students should have their own responsibility to study. The president said if a student quits school, he or she does not just quit his or her school, he or she quits the hopes and requirements by the families and the country. Barack Obama also mentioned no one is cotrolling anyone's destiny, and you control your own destiny. If you want to be good, you need to spent hark work on studying; if not, then a bad grade will come to you. There is also a good sentence that Barack Obama said," where you are right now does not determind where you will end up." Right, even though we have few times get bad grades, it does not mean that we are stupid; it shows what we get wrong and improving everyday and get better in the fulture.
As a student, I know the responsibility for me to study. It probably not easy for me, but I still need to try my best. My family always tell me it is Okay to get a bad grade unless you really try your best and spent your time on hard work. Sometimes, I might not absolutely get a good grade on every class and I need to improve my English readings. I desire one day I could improve my English just like a real American, and this is what I am trying to do.
After reading this speech by Barack Obama, I really feel I learn a lot. Not only how he taught to the students, espectially how he strongly show the students they are controling their fulture and not to make dissapointments on our families. Sometimes I feel lucky that I was born in a family that could totally raise me to study. I will try and try like what the presodent said, " your bahavior is shown how the U.S educational looks like." and I will do my best in my future. Improvements, are coming to me soon!

"Just kidding"and "Ganging up"from Odd Girl Out Reflection
Reflection
People always bully someone when they do not get alone with that person. Especially at school, soemtimes when one student not having a good relationships with others, then other students would just joke about him and bully him. The guys who bully others would not know how the feeling is for that person. If this person is really without any authority, I mean, even most of his or her teachers would not help this person, then I could say this person really gets in a big trouble.
When I was eighth grade in Lincoln Middle School,(and that is also my first year to have U.S education) I saw many times that people bully others. I did not help the one who gets bully on, how could you help a guy that is against to few people? Authority? Power? Evidence? No! None of them above I had. I just know do not make others feel bad or mad, do the way I think it should be. Luckily, in Lincoln, I remember I only have once that others tried to bully me, not really bully, but it really make be feel bad. The second day of the school, there is a guy who lanugh on my English-speaking skill very loudly(that was my first year! How would I speak English like an ABC!?) At that day, that guy really make me feel shame and bad. However, I was learning Algebra one at that year and I have been learned it in China when I was 6th grade. It seemed so easy for me and I still remember I got 12 100-percents tests out of 17(One of the reasons is that my math teacher was really helping me in my English). At the second time when I got my 100-percents test back, the guy who was bully me did not say anything about me again. In Chinese, this called prestige. When you get something that is huge better than others, others would think you were a gifted guy. And later on, I did not talk to the guy who was bully me, and our relationship gets better-- he apologize and I said "it is Okay."
If people are bully me, I won't just walk away like some people do. I will stay there and listen to what those people said and wait for them finish. I won't escape because I think if you just walk away, people will think you are weak and bully you again and again. One of the reasons is that I think I need to show them I do not care what they are saying, even though I really do in my brain. Second, I won't say anything back because perhap those guy will be my friends some day. To have one more friend is better than to have one more enemy.
There is a girl in the "Odd Girl Out" whose name is Nikki and she said," If I am mad at someone, it,it is just a lot easier to tell everyone else and turn them against the persons because then I am the one who is right. " To have others' power and turn them all to against one person, that is meanness and unforgiveness. How would you know the feelings of how a group of people bully you and the same feeling for the person who you are bully on.
Think before you act. As high school students, we know that we are responsiblity to what we did. Bully someone is not cool because if you know the feeling of getting bully, you won't do it any more. Be friendly and nice, a person could be one of your friend or one of your enermy.
