The most interesting thing that I did over the holidays was to buy a ukulele and learn how to play it. :)
I am a person of performing arts. I like to sing, dance, though I may not be exceptional at both of those activities. My forte is acting, my passion is song writing. Occasionally, I enjoy writing short novels tremendously. I've always loved to read, from novels to non-fiction articles. I like Philosophy. I've aspired to go to Yale Law School in Rhode Island since I was young, and become a top notch lawyer who is able to defend the innocent. I would also like to be a part-time social worker when I grow up. I have big ambitions, but they may not be realistic...
I am extremely weak in Graphs. I can understand concepts but applying them to higher-order mathematical problems is challenging for me. I do not really have a strength in Math, but I have been able to attain a 4.0 grade point for the previous years. I would like to do so again this year, and I will try my hardest.
I like that I attempted to participate in class, even when I was not a hundred percent sure I would be right.
I did not like that the class was not efficient in doing our assigned work and would often be very noisy, which was not exactly an excellent environment to study in.

I do not really have a way of learning Math. Usually, I would understand the concepts, then attempt the practice questions. Before an examination, I would jot down all the concepts of different topics in a list and refer to it while I revise.
I am not the kind that is strong enough to work and learn a new topic on my own. I often get stuck at questions and have to ask my friends to help me out. Not being able to solve a question makes me feel pretty demoralised.
I have always gotten a 4.0 grade point. My previous Math teachers and deskmates were effective at helping me resolve my problems.
***
I feel that my personal strengths are my perseverance and my high expectations of myself. They drive me to perform my best at every thing.
I hope to work on my occasional procrastination.
Being successful in my performance in Math would mean self-satisfaction and being closer to clinching a better GPA and future.
I would either revise my subects, or have some "me time".

I will not be able to bring any of the above, because I do not have a laptop, nor an iPad, nor a iBook. My smart phone is spoilt so I will not be able to bring it either.

I hope you will be patient and understanding when I am not able to catch up as fast, and will provide help to me should I ask for it. :)
