A moment that I can reflect on where not enough information was provided for me in my EHS experience is the beginning of my high school career. I am not sure if this was a withholding of information more than it was just a wake up call for me, but one thing that I think I may have benefited from in my freshman year is if I knew that I needed to keep track of my assignments in form of a planner, or the sticky tabs application on my mac. I'm sure everybody has there tactics for remembering whether or not they have a quiz the next day, or figuring out which day there project is due. For me, I need to be as organized as possible, or I will surely forget about all of my assignments or do them wrong. The people in the College Counseling office always say "Your Freshman year matters just as much as your senior year." Sure, this makes sense, but this warning does not give me enough information on how to do as well as possible in my freshman year. Going into our freshman year, Ms. Davidson taught a summer school class teaching students how to study and how to be organized headed into high school. This class was generally for the weaker middle school students and was not offered to the average student. I could have really benefited from this class because it would have taught me to be more organized and I would have known that I needed to keep track of my work in a planner rather than attempt to remember them off the top of my head. If this class was offered to every student I really would have made better grades in the first semester of my high school career.
