Recommended: Overcoming adversity

It’s almost the end of my sophomore year and I know Ii didn't do well this school year. I went through a lot but I’m proud of myself for another school year almost done. This year I’ve realize that Ii need to try more and focus better. Although it wasn't my best school year I did achieve some growths and strengths.
At the beginning of the year I was disappointed in myself for retaking math. I also knew that I most likely wouldn't fit in with the kids in the class that mess around or make bad decisions. I can admit I was scared and felt like an outcast in that class. I felt like I was dumb and I really put myself down for failing math last year.

I myself want to graduate high school and once I turn eighteen, I want to become a flight attendant. I know how everyone says you should go to college well I think I would rather experience and see the world. I want to be able to say I’ve done things say vie seen places that you can’t see n your average everyday life. It’s also hard because I want to make my parents proud. I know how badly they want me to go to college. So the second path that I am currently still debating on is becoming a nurse. I highly want to go to san Francisco state or san Diego state to be in their nursing programs. If I were to become a nurse I know it would make my mom happy to see me pursuing something in the medical field. I know I’m still a sophomore but I should really plan out my future. I don’t want to be stuck on choices or debating my future. I want to have a full set plan for my future. I feel like becoming a flight attendant or a nurse are my two only options that my mind is set on. Most likely over summer I’m going to make a decision so I can use my junior year to prepare me towards that goal and plan how I’m going to get there. I’m also going to use my junior year to do better in high school especially better than my sophomore year. Overall this is just another year filled with struggles, strength growth, future goals, and new

Oh The Places You Ll Go Analysis

The reason my senior year means so much to me is because throughout my journey I experienced so many things that slowly shaped me as not only a student but as a person. “With your head full of brains and your shoes full of feet, You’re too smart to go down any not so good street.” Dr. Seuss. With my head full and my feet snugly fit into some beat up Converse, I walked myself into the wrong crowd and some crappy situations. After the cloud of adrenaline drifted out of my sights I realized that I was too smart to be in the situation I put myself in.

Not only does a sense of accomplishment build confidence and faith in oneself, but it also allows one to reflect on how wonderful the journey to the accomplishment was, and how every little struggle and triumph was worth it. In the middle of summer, where time seems endless and the stress of the previous school year has been shed by students, I never expected to find out that I scored a five on both of the advanced placement exams I took. Nor did I have one-hundred percent confidence the goals we set as section leaders of the marching band would actually be met. Yet to my surprise, I had the good fortune of accomplishing challenging things in both aspects of my life.
