The End of Sophomore Year

Sophomore year ended last week. It was a successful sophomore year for me: 4.0 GPA both semesters. Mission accomplished!!! Sophomore year felt a lot easier than freshmen year. Probably because of the experience I had been through freshmen year.   
My finals were actually not that bad and thank goodness for curves. For chemistry, I got my A because of the curve on the final. Final grade in chem: 89.76…It’s an A-. Also, the chemistry song project extra credit proved very valuable. It paid off!!! English, I had some room but I finished with a 94% as I did well on the Joy Luck Club essay and got a B on the final. Math, like the first semester, finals were A or bust for me. I had a 88.96 going into the math final and by the end of that day, my grade was a 92.40. My wonderful notebook propelled me as I scored a 234/200 on the notebook check. I did a lot of extra credits which helped and put a lot of time into perfecting my notebook. And I got an A on my final too. A 4 percent jump in math in one day. Spanish, I had a 96% so I didn’t really try that hard but I managed a 80% on the scantron final, 93% on written, and 99.3% on oral. MUN, I finished with over 100%. 4.0 GPA, I am proud of myself. One lesson I learned is to take advantage of all the extra credit that is given. You never know when you may need those extra 2 or 3 points that will raise you up a letter grade.
Junior year will be tough beginning this fall. I hope I can maintain my level of excellence of a 4.0. Until then, I’ll enjoy my summer!
