Reflecting on the ACT

When taking the ACT, my biggest stuggle was time management.Managing time on the math part was difficult.The math itself was not extremely too hard but more time was needed to accurately work out problem and I could have done better.I feel that B. C. Rain did not prepare me well for the ACT. We did not have any test prep to help prepare us for the test. Teachers spent more time to prepare sophomores for the Aspire test when they don't have to take the actually ACT until next year. I will not say that they should not prepare sophomores but it was not fair that they got help and the juniors did not. The testing environment was kind of distracting for me. Students were sleeping and snoring which disturbed my thought process. Also students were reading aloud which was annoying. I feel as if I made a 20. To improve my score, I would take time to prepare ahead of time to work on areas where I am weak. Also teachers should have helped us with practice assignments.

The American Dream

I think the American Dream is a vision of America being a place of peace and happiness. America has been through many things such as war for freedom,slavery,and racism. A country where peace and happiness exists is hard to get when there are so many people who cause chaos on a daily basis.People are killing others and making the world an unsafe place. If all people would learn to be humble,forgiving, and loving the American Dream can come true. I want America to be free from the things that are keeping it from being as great as it can be.
