Thursday- Hard Work Helps!

It's what got him where he is today!

 
  Today was a day to catch up on the things that I had missed due to the swim meet yesterday, Turing is getting much easier for me and I love it! I love how so many things can be done with this one language. Today I also made a program which used only functions and procedures to get what the user wants. When I use functions are procedures it just makes life easier and my program much shorter, while at the same time much more effective. I thought functions and procedures would be confusing, nonetheless from what I had experienced today they are a "piece of cake". This is all due to Mr.Arkin's great teaching ability and how he get's to the point and try's to make our lives as easy as possible when it comes to programming. 
  
  In the beginning of the year I thought that all those notes we had done in class, simultaneously were for nothing and I would not use them. However, when it came to test time I found out that all the requirements Mr.Arkin requested us to do made my life much easier. For example, the dividers made finding my key topics easier, the notes helped me study for a shorter amount of time. However, that short amount of time proved much more useful to me than studying for hours and hours at a time. This is all due to organization and planning step by step what you are going to do in future periods. Now I am starting to understand why organization is so important and why in Middle school and Elementary school they stressed that point out so often. I think they were getting us ready for High school and were trying to make our lives much easier for future events.
