Change #4. Weekly AR Goals

This fourth rule is about our AR goals. We have this new change, where we divide our whole AR goal, and divide it by 7, and that's how much points we need to earn by the end of the week. We have this rule because some people had to rush on their AR goal at the end of the quarter. For most students on campus, they can finish their goal or not. Us to, but if we don't finish it, we get kicked out of Leadership. This new change helps us keep track of our reading goal. It helps us not get all stressed about finishing our goal at the last week of the quarter. I mean, how hard is it to read a book, take a test, and color in our chart? Doesn't seem that hard. The hardest part would probably be the reading but some people read for pleasure, but they can't read for school?! These blogs are starting to show my true feelings, and i guess that's one of the reasons on what they're meant for xD. I thought in the beginning that i wouldn't like this rule, because I HATED READING SOO MUCH! You should've seen me in 6th grade. I hated doing my Teenbiz>----------------< It was so boring! But you know what my goal for 7th grade is? To become a better reader and start to like reading. And with this new change, i'm starting to see that i can actually like reading. I'm reading this book called Dear John. Seems boring at first but it's a lot of AR points and i need to beat Rhea! I'll get to that later. But Dear John, is actually a really good book, and i'm not even half way done! Okay, so this thing that we have with our period 4, is that whoever finishes their AR goal first, gets to get $1 from everyone else in the group. I want to beat Rhea, because she already got a lot of points from her previous book! But Dear John is 13 points(; This challenge that Rhea made up is good, and bad. It keeps us trying to beat each other and read faster, so we can get money, but actually, we're finishing our AR goal, and that was her whole plan. But i think it's sorta bad, because it makes me want to rush, but i need to understand the story. Anywhooooo, back to the new change. I really like this new change, because it's making me read more books, and making me start to love reading. I never ever thought that i would like reading,or even love, but look now. I'm starting to want to read one book after the other! I don't think that we should change this rule, because it is helping me soo much. I'm starting to see that these rules are really meant to help us improve in what we do. I mean, i knew that these rules were meant to help us, but i never thought that it would make me love reading. I actually thought that it would make me hate reading more, cause of all the books i need to read. I don't think that i fit into this rule, because i've always finished my AR goal on time, but i'm really happy that we have this rule, because without it, i probably never would've thought i could love reading.
