Message to Garcia Reflection

This essay shows us how different people in the world work. Some are hardworking and do things with out being told, others have to be told many times before completing the task. It is better to be that person that does the job right without being told. This concept applies to my life in many ways. Everyday I have the option to sit at home and lay on the couch when i get home from school. But i choose to do my homework because i know it will help me in the end. I don't sit there and wait for my Mom to remind me that i have to do my homework. I read online that it is hard these days to find workers who obey instructions without needless questions. I want to be one of those people. One that can complete assignments, or work hard without having supervision. I feel that i am already at that point where I can take a responsibility and hands it by myself. I don't need someone else help. I know i can deal with it alone. However, this doesn't mean that some questions are bad. If it is going to help you deal with these responsibilities or problems then ask.

First day at JC

Vonnie Lidie

My first day at John Carroll was a success. I met a lot of new friends and my teachers. I had a lot of info thrown at me today that is going to be hard to remember but I’ll figure it out. Everyone is very welcoming and they all make me feel accepted here at JC. I’m a little scared about the grading system here because I’m used to a different one from public school. I feel like it’s going to be a hard transition going from public to private school because the standards are higher. But I feel that after a few weeks I’ll be used to everything. I’m excited to meet new people in class and through sports. One goal that I have for this year is to just push through and get good grades, A’s and B’s. Everyone at JC is a family and I’m happy to be a part of it.
