I am taking keyboarding because I want to type faster and more accurately. I am also taking this course because I know we need to type a lot of papers in high school so I want to get my papers done quickly. By the end of the class, I hope to accomplish typing around 70 words a minute. This will help me in the future because later in life I may have a job where it requires fast and accurate typing.

It will also make me a more efficient worker when I am finished with my education.
The reason I wanted to take a keyboarding class was because I wanted to learn how to type better without looking down. I had already knew how to type without looking down, but I had a lot of erros and kept hitting the backspace button. That's about the only reason why I took this class and that's what I plan on achieving for whatever opportunities that come my way in the future.

The skills I learn in this class will help me in the future because eventually our world will be all about computers. I might even get a job when I'm older that might even include some computer skills. Reaching my goal of 50 words per minute is essential for me and I will try my hardest to accomplish it.
I am taking keybording because i would like to be able to type faster with less mistakes. Also i would like to earn credits for next year by the end of this summer. This way I wont have to take this course next year. By the end of this summer I would like to be able to type at least about 45 words per minute. This will help me in the future because when I reach the collegiate level there will be many papers to type. Also as far as a career goes you must have skills in the keyboarding area.
The main reason that I am taking this keyboarding class is so that I can take Geometry (I'm not exactly good at math). By the end of this course I hope to improve my current typing speed of 30 wpm. This school will help me in the near future for writing papers for my AP classes. The new skills will help me type my papers and everything else that I will have to type faster and more accurately.

I'm commenting to Aidan K. and ya dude you will need it for all the papers you wil be typing because trust me, there will be tons of papers you will be typing next year and good luck achieving that goal.
I am replying to Kelly B's comment I also want to Type faster and more accurately
It really was my mom's idea for me to take a keyboarding class, because she noticed how long it took me to type papers for school(which was usually a very long time). At school that I just graduated from, St. A's, we used a keyboarding program twice a week in fifth and sixth grade, but I still look at the keyboard when I type. I'm not a particularily fast typist (as far as typing goes) and I normally type 30-35 words a minute. With this class my goal is to be able to type 60 words a minute (without looking at the keyboard). It's a pretty high goal but it would be great to type one word a second! This class will help me in the future, because everyday the computer is becoming more a part of our lives as it advances to do almost anything we could ever imagine.

I am replying to Jack Powers I think its great you want to improve your typing skills on your own.It is also a good idea to become accustomed to a new school because sometimes other people can get you even more lost than you were.Last summer I took a course here and my friend DanYale and I asked someone where are room was and he got us even more lost and not to mention late for class. :*(
