Trust me

      "Games are won at practice", at least that is what my coach always told my team. Every practice would end at the serving line, with the most frustrating drill of all, The Serving Game. The Serving Game is when all eleven girls, even the ones who do not serve in games, have to serve two times without the ball dropping. We tried so many different orders to get the it done faster, order did not really seem to matter. All we knew was we need people who can finish strong, with a level head, someone we could TRUST. It may not seem like a huge deal, but being be hide the line with the game on your hands is stressing. After twenty-one serves it was my turn to serve, if I made it over would could be done but if I did not we could be there for who knows how much longer. I never really stressed as much as my team, but I was honored to be able to have my whole team trust me. A trust I want to always have.

OGT!?!?!

History

 
 
I think I am the least prepared for the history OGT. Right now I do well in history, but in class we learn what will be on the test at the end of the week. I think I am going to have trouble remembering all of the information I had learned this far. In history there are sections that are hard to understand, because they have a lot of dates to remember and I think I might get those mixed up. Since I am worried so much about remembering everything that I have learned so far in history, I am going to try to study each section thoroughly. I am going to pay more attention to the strong points in each part of the class. Differentiating the dates for each piece of history will help me to remember all of the things that happened. Another strategy that I am going to use is to make sure I understand all of the important terms that go along with each section in history. I think doing all of this will not only help me pass the OGT but get accelerated on the history OGT.
