Reflective Piece on Year 9

Over the past 6 - 7 months on my journey in year 9, it’s been a rollercoaster ride. I had to move schools from The Knox School to now Mount Waverley Secondary College. It’s been a very tough experience. Getting to know the teachers, all my classmates and especially the course outline and the studies which are the most important part of a school. Since joining Mount Waverley Secondary College, I have especially learnt a lot academically. The school and my classmates have been very supportive. They have offered me many opportunities and encouraged me in every which way possible and I have passed every hurdle it has thrown at me.  I have had many ups and downs during this 6 months and I have mostly enjoyed all of them so far.
In this reflective piece, I would like to portray my major achievements and some of the things I haven’t done that well on.

The biggest achievement of year 9 has been to get into the squad of the Australian Open Ballkids. The Australian Open is a tournament held in January which showcases all of the best tennis players that this world has to offer. This has been the second year in the running and I have been very proud of this. The past year or so, I’ve had to work very hard to get to this position and now I am aiming to achieve more. At Australian Open 2012 held earlier in the year, I didn’t do as well as I had hoped I would. The court I was put on wasn’t what I was expecting. I have rectified that and now I wish to achieve bigger courts that would showcase very good matches. I will be one of the ballkids that will be an experienced one therefore; I will have a greater chance to get better courts.

Another major achievement was to accomplish a score higher than 90% in all of my exams and which I did.  I received all 90%s and above on all of my exams which I was really happy about.

A dissatisfaction movement was when I didn’t reach the finals of tennis. My team and I had tried really hard and we were hoping that we would reach the final stage but unfortunately we didn’t.

I am very proud that I have settled in the new school very quickly, made quite a few friends and also gotten to know the teachers.
