This year I have struggled with managing my self and in the very beginning of the year I felt really confused and lost with what I should and how I was going to do so. Through out the year I have managed to become slightly better but still found my self being super stressed out with when things needed to be done. Even though I found it hard I have also enjoyed small parts of maths when I was able to be efficient and manage myself. I felt really good about my 1.12 standard which I was able to finish really quickly in time for the derived grade exams and not stress too much about it. As this was my first year of NCEA I found it to be a struggle and a step up from year ten. In year ten I had a teacher fully teaching the whole class and there for had more help from the teacher to this year i had to basically Teach myself. I have noticed I have felt less confident with maths and have found it more challenging. Nec t year I will continue to try to improve how I manage myself with time but I would also appreciate more guidance from the school.Something that would really help me at the start of the year would be a hard copy of a calander that I could write on and more suggestions and tips from the teacher making smaller deadlines within each topic.
