A time this year where I faced a challenge was when I had to use my time wisely in order to keep up with every assignment and project my teachers assigned. Especially now that I had been put in all advanced classes. A strategy i used to succeed was to procrastinate as little as I could, set alarms to work on my missing assignments or projects at home, and try to do so for at least 5 minutes every day. This way I'd remeber myself and at least work on the assignments for a little while. This has impacted my future goals because I now have set myself the goal to not procrastinate at all anymore.
The most significant academic achievement I had this year was obtaining two medals on my VASE art contest.
I'd say that my personal values haven't changed, but instead have evolved throughout this year. I've always believed that everyone shouldn't be judged for what they enjoy to do as long as it's not harming anyone. And I still think that's right. However I have realized that doesn't mean everybody has to also like it or view it as completely normal as well. Everyone will have different biases and opinions about things. They may believe it's not wrong, but find it a bit weird or funny at times. They're not saints. However as long as they also aren't being rude or disrespectful about it, then they can believe what they want to believe. A way I have followed these believes is by keeping most of my negative comments bout others to myself.
The friendships and relationships I made and kept this year were and still are very important to me. I stopped being friends with some, kept most friends, and made some other ones. I however don't regret any of my decisions regarding my relationships this year. Friends come, go, and stay. And that's a part of living I'm willing to accept right now. The qualities I value most in my relationships with others are being comfortable around them enough that I get to share who I am in regards of what I like, don't like, and my beliefs.

My most memorable moment this year was probably the art field trip I got to go on due to someone in our school wining a gold key. We went to an art store, target, the galeria mall to each chick-fil-a and look around, someone ice skated, we got to see the artworks that won, it was all very fun even now I still use what I bought on that trip. The emotions I experienced were excitement and joy. I was excited as the day of the trip arrived, and also excited as we went to all the placed. I also felt happy because the tripitself was very fun.
