Report Cards

  Today is the long over-due report cards day. Some people may dread the day they see their official marks on paper, but I am absolutely not one of those people. To me getting report cards is like a overview of how I have been doing in school for each term. By knowing what I haven't been doing well enough, and knowing the classes that I am not doing as well as I planned, I can set goals to improve and do better. I like knowing how I am doing in school, it gives me a sense of direction. Because of the teacher's strike, we haven't been getting our report cards for both term 2 and term 3. Now the strike has sort of come to an end, we are finally getting our term 2 report card. The thing about not having report cards is you will only kind of know what you got in each subject, but you won't be sure. Getting the report card finalizes everything, and also puts all your marks in one place so you can compare them. In conclusion, I actually look forward to getting report cards not matter how I do, and I really hope we continue to get them.
