Assignment #4 - Megan Ewing - Homework

Going into middle school, I decided it was okay to never do homework. It wasn’t fun and, because of the grading system, not doing homework wouldn’t affect my overall grades. So I decided it wasn’t worth it to do any homework at all. It took me two years to realize my critical error. Even after I almost failed two classes in 6th grade because of incomplete assignments, I didn’t realize the importance of homework. As I got into 8th grade, I started actually doing my homework and school became much easier. I was able to participate in class occasionally and I did much better on quizzes and tests, which actually counted towards my grade. After those two difficult years, I learned how beneficial homework is, even outside of homework grades. With the help of my parents and a few kind teachers, I got back on track and now I usually do my homework on time. As I write this, I have all 57 key terms for this unit done and the test is in two weeks. While I do still slack in some areas (these blog posts included), I get most of my work turned in on time now.
