A New Beginning:
The second grading period started, and I'm off to a great start. If things don't go your way at first, then you just got to accept it. Speaking of which, that was how I practiced acceptance this week. Hopefully, by keeping a positive mindset throughout this year, I'll be back to getting straight A's like I always used to get, because, unfortunately, I ended up getting a B towards the end of the grading period, which is super disappointing. For me, having a B in a class is like failing. Keep in mind I'm also taking two AP classes. Tomorrow I'm taking a test for Algebra II, and I'm expecting a 100. To get this, though, I need to be very prudent, because honestly, it's terrible when you look over something and you end up getting it wrong. I despise that as much as the next person. So, more prudence=more success, is what I am basically trying to say. Never let failures define you. The mistakes you make don't describe  who you are or the kind of mentality that you have. Trust me, I've fallen into that trap several times, and you just have to climb out of it(metaphorically speaking of course). To be honest with you, honesty this week was not practiced a lot. As a matter of fact, I've been considering that there are more virtues that I could substitute over honesty, since I'm doing well in terms of honesty for now. Anyways, this blog is going to be kept relatively short compared to the others, so I'll see you all later, and I'll give an update on how things are going the next few days. All the best, Alejandro
