I was upset and disappointed because I didnt understand the test. I have changed and grown this year in the areas of English and listening. I thing I am getting better now in speaking and writing English because of my hard work and study. Next year I hope to improve my way of learning so I can be able to learn faster and behavior. I hope to be success student in school. After I graduate from high school, I hope to go to college and find a job.
