January 17th marks the end of the second quarter and first semester. It also means the second semester (third quarter) is about to begin. At the halfway point of your year at TA, look back and ahead: what have you done already and what would you like to do? Think about your classes, but also about your life in the dorm or at a homestay, your activities outside the classroom, and your relationships with friends, roommates, teachers, coaches, and others.

ReplyDeleteFor me, the first semester is good. However, it was not enough for me. I felt that I didn't try my best for whole semester. I was addicted to FIFA20 and NBA2k20 for whole semester. However, I will be abstinent in second semester. Furthermore, I will be doing great for my history assignments.Lastly, I will prepare a lot of things for my college. All I have to do great for me is SAT, and TOEFL. I guess my GPA is not that bad currently. So, I want to put more efforts for my SAT and TOEFL.(Dowon Lee)(Dodo)
