my goals to success

My goals are t0 work more and sleep more at home and at school.I hope to reach it with my grandma when at home and with the help of my teachers at school.My goals is to work more at school so I can go to group D because group D is the advanced kids.

To do that I have to work hard.If I do more work at school I can sleep more.I want have so much home work and I want to achieve my goals this year.Well this semester and also don't want to be late for the bus in the morning.

I don't want to get in trouble when my grandma comes home from work,I want her seeing me doing my home work and making good grades. By not watching TV, I can go to group D but I have to listen more in school. and do my school work so that is what I am trying to be successful with this year.
