This class is an exploration of the transition from childhood to adulthood. What are your individual strengths and challenges? How are you influenced by your family, friends, and various environments? How much do you know about your history and heritage? What are your core beliefs and values, and how do those shape how you deal with challenges? What are your goals for completing high school and the immediate years after high school? To help us on this journey, we’ll read four novels focused on different aspects of "coming of age" and Malcolm Gladwell's "Outliers" about success. Students will be assigned a variety of papers and essays throughout the year to relate course topics and readings to their own experiences. (1 English credit)

Your reflection must include:

*  A summary of your characteristics and those you agree with most
*  At least 5 of the hints for school you think make sense (either you already use them or could use them) and why.
* What you agree with or disagree with overall about your descriptions
* Your opinion of these kinds of assessments and how you could or do implement (use) the information to help you in school.
* Are there other instances where knowing how you learn can help you? Explain.
