2015 goals

Academic goal:

For the New Year of 2015 one of my academic goals is trying to better understand and get better in mathematics.  Every time we get assigned homework I start to struggle on almost every subject.  I usually ask my mom if she can help me but she always says she doesn't remember or never says this but only when she has no clue.  " I was never taught that."  I do my best on understanding or finish my homework, but I know that I must've gotten it wrong.  Then there is the test I study for but I either fail or get a grade I am not satisfied like a C.  I don't want to fall behind in the rest of the world since it's mostly all about math and reading.  A therapist told my mother I'm suppose to be 6 months late from learning, everything else I'm fine but I think I am a few months late on math.  So when I think about it I keep a goal to myself.  Try to catch up and understand.  I don't have trouble on other subjects especially Science ( one of the subjects that I am exceeding) but math always seems to catch me and likes to interrogate me with questions I don't know how to answer.  So for this subject my steps will be focus in class and give all of my attention, jot down notes that can help me and study for everything to get ready in my test and ask for help.  I already been keeping up in the notes and studying I just need to focus more on how to solve each problem.


Personal Goal:

For my 2015 goal is to become a better digital artist.  For about 5 months I've been drawing in Photoshop and I was a little rusty on my first time but I have been progressing.  So now I want to use nearly every tool on PS CS6 to make my drawings more color and feeling.  All I've been using is opacity and other tools that are to easy to us and haven't really been go further.  So I usually go to youtube and watch Speedpaint where people draw in the computer and add effects along with many other things.  It does sometimes help but not many times.  So my steps are keep using Photoshop and try to use a new tool to see how it looks.  The other is draw in pencil and paper or mostly called traditional and work on the human anatomy and retrace it in the computer.  Maybe go to websites where professional digital artist are or artist who know how to use it well and take lessons.  last of all is try my best and hope it works.
