As you all know, summer is coming up, which means school will be out and it will be our vacation time! However, I've come to realize that we must not slack off yet! We've still got a good 19 days of school left! I have come to the conclusion that all of us are just anxious for summer to come! Which is probably why we are all getting a little behind on our work nowadays, but to be honest, some of us are still trying hard! I also believe that the teachers are also eager for the summer as well, so they don't like all the work they have to do, which gets them more irritated when a student misbehaves. With that being said, us students should not be putting more trouble towards them so that both sides are equally happy.
First off, I have to admit, that I cannot wait for summer to be here! Yet, my goal is to earn a 4.0 GPA! So, that means that there should be not slacking off, and work should still be done! I have been very tired lately, and I think it's because I just can't wait for summer to be here, so that I could just sleep in, but I still try my best to stay focused because it is coming close to the end of the year, which means it's my last shot at getting a good grade and GPA! What I plan on doing so that I stay on track is to make more eye contact with the teachers and speakers, because that way, I will be able to concentrate more on what they are trying to say. Also, I plan on not engaging in so much outside conversations so that it will be easier for me to pay attention.
In order to keep others from slacking off and not paying attention, I will try to get them to not talk or make side conversations while the teacher is talking because it distracts a lot of people… Even if I'm not the one talking, I can still hear whoever is making conversations, so that is kind of distracting to me. If I hear someone talking, I try to motion to them to stop talking, but when I do that, I get in trouble because the teachers think that I am the one talking… So, I just try my best to make very subtle motions. By telling others to pay attention, others will be able to focus better as well!

Okay, so another thing I could do to stay away from lack of focus is to maybe avoid placing myself by people that I know I will talk to… This is actually going to be hard for me to do, considering that you know, I like to talk to everyone… But, what I can try doing is maybe try to block out any person that tries to talk to me, because honestly, every single class, there is at least one person that tries to make conversation with me, which makes it hard to pay attention to what the teachers are saying. And I could also surround myself with people that I know will stay on task and focus…. So basically, the main thing is to just avoid talking to others with we are supposed to be concentrating and paying attention.
Overall, I know that school is coming to an end and everybody wants to be on vacation, but with 19 days left of school, we still need to focus… The students are tired, the teachers are tired, and I bet even the janitors are tired, but, we all still have to work! Which is why, we all must do our best to stay focused and get our work done, so that we may enjoy summer when it comes. I agree that we should all go from good to great, since it is the last quarter of the year and we need to make our best impression yet. Like I said, this is our last shot to get a good grade until next year, so that means that we can't be lazy and off task just yet! See you next class, where h
