A time when I was faced with a significant challenge, but learned to overcome it was sophomore and junior year in history. History has always seem to be the class I tend to struggle in, no matter who I sit next to or how many notes I take. Sophomore as time when on to second semester I realized I wasn’t doing well; I was procrastinating with homework, not doing well on test, and stated to pay less attention in class. I got a D for the first semester and when I saw that on my report card I knew I had to change something. I realized history need to become a much higher priority.
This year, I have continued to achieve academic excellence inside the classroom while continuing to be a leader in the St. Paul’s community.

This winter, I earned the role of the captain of my varsity basketball team. I am a leader on the court and try to set an example for my teammates of how important it is to work hard in all aspects of life. This year has been the third year of the Jewish Awareness Club at St. Paul’s, which I founded in my sophomore year.
1.) I would have done a few things differently during Freshman year. I wish that I would’ve got all A’s this year. I would of studied more for my harder classes. I wish that I wouldn 't procrastinate in some of my harder classes. I also would’ve been more outgoing to try new sports/activities.

Senior year. Even looking back now at that very shy, awkward, not knowing how to keep a conversation going, and always feeling nervous girl I never thought that I would outgrow my shell as cliche as that sounds. I used to think everyone at high school was constantly staring at you always judging every little thing you did, but now I've realized that people are caught up in their own worlds to not even notice. People don't care about the clothes you wear, what your hair looked like, or what kind of advanced classes you're taking, I've realized that what people really care about is the person you portray and what kind of people you hang around. Freshman year I was just following the crowd I just wanted to be in a group with the "popular kids"
I wish I could go back to kindergarten. “The same boys who got detention in elementary school for beating the crap out of people are now rewarded for it. They call it football.” Laurie Halse Anderson. High school is a rough place like elementary with testosterone and steroids.

It was very cold while I waited at the bus stop every morning trying to amuse myself by sliding down the icy driveways. Ethan S., Sergio, and Grant were my best friends in 5th grade. Sergio was Mexican and a little shorter than me. He also sat next to me in desks of 5 or 4.

In our neighborhood most houses had younger kids around my age, and on Halloween a girl named Katie Peters and I met and we trick-or-treated. While we were trick-or-treating our parents talked and obviously became friends like Katie and I. After that we played, hung out, and went to the same pre-school, we also went to kindergarten together. We also ended up going to the same elementary school too. In first grade at recess, Katie Peters, who I thought was my friend, came up to me and exclaimed,"You're a jerk, and I suggest you should stop breathing." It was a very scary and awkward moment for me.
Junior year was not the easiest year of high school especially since I had to learn new skills and techniques to turn in my work without it being a mess. I knew that junior year was a significant year, because of the numerous amounts of assignments, quizzes, and tests that were going to be given to the students. Knowing this, I had two choices: I had to abandon the world of procrastination or become the person that some students are in high school, careless and disobedient to what was given or said to them. Even though I knew junior year was not going to be an easy year, I entered thinking that I was fully prepared for anything that I would come face to face with. Soon enough, I realized that I was not equipped to what was about to hit me.
