What matters to me? Well many things matter to me, but the thing that matters to me the most would be grades. It matters to me because if I don't get good grades I won't get a good job. My mom and dad don't want me to have a job where I would get hurt or exhausted. They want me to get a job in the business industry or to be an engineer.
Also another reason that grades matter to me is because I want to go to college. If I get to go I'll be one of the only people in my family to get to go and get a college diploma. Because if I don't I would have probably wasted my life and time. Time that I could have used to get a job to help my dad get money to support the family.
Grades are important to me because they get me into programs. Like in 4th grade I was a Field Day Helper. That was because of my good grades at least I think so because we missed a lot of class. Also weblogging , I got into it because I finish early. That's because I thought of reasonable answers. So now you know what is important to me.
So what matters to you?
Grades are important and I am excited about the many things you will learn as you get those good grades.
Family and friends matter a lot to me. I think having good relationships and caring about people is very important!
Have you thought about where you might like to go to college?
Good post, Jose-Juan!

Being the first in a family to receive a college diploma is a huge feat. I'm sure you won't let your parents down. :)

Great post Jose-Juan! I am thrilled to hear that grades are important to you. That is the first step in getting a college education. You can accomplish anything as long as you believe in yourself.
It sounds like we have a lot in common. Did you know that I was the first person in my family to get a college degree? It was exciting and scary at the same time. I wanted to make my parents proud of me and it is evident that you have the same mindset.
PS – You were a Field Day helper because you are SMART and RESPONSIBLE. Those are two wonderful qualities in a young man.

Jose-Juan, this was such a good post! Of course, you probably know that school and good grades matter to me too.That's because if you really try your best, you are going to get a very good education. I'm glad that you are considering college in the future. Keep that goal in mind whenever you make decisions about how to spend your time. You will really learn a lot in college. In addition, you will be able to become whatever you choose - perhaps, you would like to be the principal of J. H. House one day!
