Dana's Mind Map of Goals
Becoming more active
Walk outside for at least 5 minutes everyday. Therefore, no chance I'm not getting out of the house.
I have gym this semester and we exercise everyday, if we don't exercise one of the days then exercise after school.
Take advantage of the summer. So, play volleyball in the backyard or play badminton with friends.
Reduce repetition
I need to reread my writing and focus on the content and not the grammar (of course, the grammar will be checked later in editing).
Reading my writing out loud can help grasp repetitive sentences (don't speak silently!!).
I think the reason why I have a lot of repetition in my writing because I don't have enough information, so, if I catch myself in that situation, search for more information.^
Reading more books to improve my writing
Finish the series I started reading a while ago.
While reading, understand what is happening (I have to reread it if I didn't understand).
I need to focus on words I don't understand and take the time to understand the word.
In my free time, I can't go on my phone, instead I must read my book.
Joining clubs (improving my application)
Ask other people around me for feedback on my application, for example, asking Mr. Gale.
I can reach out to other members of the club for their experience.
Show enthusiasm in my application to show how excited I am to join the club.
