Trust Me

A time where I convinced some one to convince me was while I was playing Madden. Me and my younger brother were playing as the Dolphins against my two other friends who were playing as the Seahawks. We were losing 24-10. During the entire game so far, me and my younger brother could not get along at all. All game we were arguing. However, this always happens when we play Madden on the same team or any video game in general. We were facing a crucial third down. I told him that he has to trust me at the quarterback position. Since we were arguing all game long, he was a little hesitant. However, we were struggling all game long, so we just gave it a shot anyways. I chose my favorite play in all of football, the one and only, Read Option. The Read Option is a play where the running back is right next to the quarterback. Then when the ball is snapped, depending on which side the running back is one, the quarter back looks at the defensive end and if the defensive end flies out, the quarterback keeps it and runs. However, If the defensive end just stands and does not blitz, the quarterback hands the ball off to the running back. This play is very well used and known by young football quarterbacks, like Robert Griffin III. When I did this play, we were able to pick up the first down. We ultimately lost the game, but this play helped me and my brother build trust between each other.

10th grade

I have faced struggles so far in my 10th gradfe year. I have struggled in things such as math and this was a factor that led to a low GPA and a bad report card. I have also had achievements. I have been more organized this year com[ared to previous years and I have been turning in all of my assignments in on time. These achievements have led to aspirations of straight A's and at least a 3.5 GPA. Throughout the 10th grade so far I have faced struggles, which have led to accomplishments, and have given me higher aspirations.

OGT

This March I am most worried about taking the mathematics OGT. I have never really liked math during school, and really do not like it at all this year. I am certainly not the best at it either. However, there is always room for improvement, no matter what subject may be. To become confident in taking the math OG in March, I will do one simple but useful technique, practice. Yea one might say," that's all?", and the answer is simply "yes". I can just take practice OGT math questions online from past OGTs. These tests provide you with the right answer after answering the question and give you an explanation as to why that answer is correct. They also do the same for the wrong answers. That is very useful and helpful.  That and my brother took the OGT last year and I will ask him for tips and advice while taking the test. I believe that all of this will help me gain the confidence I need to pass all the tests with flying colors.
