Re: "Welcome back to school"

In my upcoming junior year, I hope to challenge myself in Humanities by taking on Honors classes in both US History and English. I think that by the end of the year I will not only become a better learner, but a better reader as well. Last year I read the assigned books really quickly but I think I was my essays could have been improved. With that in mind I look forward to improving my writing skills.
I also hope to develop better reading comprehension skills so I can prepare for the SAT and tests for the future. During the semesters, I would also like to take a few college courses so I can get basic classes in before actually going to college. This will help me a lot since I plan on going to a UC school and it will encourage me to work harder. Furthermore, since junior year is supposedly harder than the rest, I want to work on expanding my vocabulary and overall organization habits. I also plan on integrating the Habits of Mind skills into my work to create a good quality and well thought out projects.
