Do Now: 2013 Reflection/2014 Goals

                                                              2013 Reflection/2014 Goals

2013 was a good year for me because I had a lot of positive things happen to me. I practiced hard for the SAT and ended up getting a good score, 1600. My hard work for preparing for the SAT paid off. Also, I found out that I'm in the 15% of my graduating class, which is great. Also, I got accepted to four colleges so far: Bergen Community College, Montclair, Seton Hall, and Rutgers. My goals for 2014 is to get accepted to my top college TCNJ and continue doing well in school. Also, I hope I get a job because I really need one. 2013 was great, but 2014 will be better!
