Happy Thursday! Today's Core Concentration blog doesn't really relate to Core. For today's blog, we have to talk about our best and worst memories of the seventh grade. I almost typed second grade, oops.

One of the best memories of my seventh grade year at Computech was probably my first band performance? It wasn't in-school; it was on a Friday at the beginning of the year. We played at a football game with Edison's marching band. A close second was the day before the actual beginning of the school year when we were led around the school by our WEB Leaders. I'm going to be a WEB Leader next year, by the way. I liked these experiences because I had fun with my friends from school technically outside of school. The other band concerts were enjoyable for me, also, because I got to socialize and have fun while doing something for school. One positive memory that had to do with something in-class was the recent building of my Core board game with my friends from that class. We presented them and began playing them today.

The worst memory of this year might have been the times when I checked ATLAS to find that one or more than one of my grades had been dropped because of missing assignments, poor work, mistakes, or bad time management. I think the worst single event of all was when I missed the bus because I couldn't open my locker correctly on the first day of the second week of school. I had to take the 4:30 bus and I didn't even get home until after 5:30. That was terrible, but even though I was late getting out of P.E., I still could have caught the bus from Edison or even from Computech. It taught me that worrying can be the cause of negative things even over mistakes. That was one of the most important lessons I learned here this year.
