Academic Paragraph
In my time as a sophomore i have come across struggles in my academics. My first quarter of 10th grade was when my struggles were most prevalent. The classes I struggled in were SDEV and English. SDEV was a struggle because of the difficult homework assignments, which of most, i did not know how to do and ended in incompletion. English is my other struggle because of my inability to think of ideas for random topics; similar to constant writer's block. Another reason is because of my terrible topic paragraph writing skills. I struggle with the thesis and topic sentences the most in a piece of literature.

Blog Post number something: OGTs
The Ogt test that I am most worried about is English. I am worried about the English Ogt because there are around 100,000 extended response questions and they always ask about nonexistent details. To cure my fake nervousness for this test I can sprinkle some pixie dust over my head while I'm taking it. That or I can fly around on a Pegasus that has taken the test before, so that I know what to expect. In all seriousness now,what really took away from the quality of my tests was too little time, but I hear that we get an excessive amout of so that won't be a problem. The next thing on my list of testing troubles would be the poems. The poems are a problem because of the extended response questions that ask about meanings that have nothing to do with the poem. The extended response can also ask how the poem relates to me or society, when it doesn't. The question practically makes me lie to answer it, like how I lied about flying the test taking pegasus(every one knows a pegasus can't take tests). I already somewhat prepared for this though with Mr. Jaurez's terrible journal entries that had me make up random stories, so I guess I'm ready.
