2024-2025

time to set my goals (late) for the next semester of school:

dedicate more time my research project :)

achieve a high gpa (especially in my physics, mandarin, and literature classes)

receive a score of 1400+ on my first sat in december!

submit essays to journals and writing competitions

apply to a few different summer courses!

find more time to journal and reflect

i know these are pretty intense goals but i know i can achieve them :) i am also moving houses soon so i really hope this year i can learn how to prioritise and stay on top of things more!
