307 Words2 Pages
What happened was that my dad always gets the mail and since he saw it he opened it and he saw my grades. In a way I knew he wasn 't going to like them because it wasn 't what he wanted because he at least wants me to have passing grades. Then we was not to happy because it wasn 't what he expected from me. Yes in a way I feel bad because I didn 't meet my parents and my goal to have passing grades. The other thing is that they don 't know how much I try to pick them up and what I did pick up because certain teachers would have a due date to when all the assignments are due . Then since it 's so obvious that I can 't make those up I had other classes that had low grades.

In my family school has to be my first priority. I know this because my

Despite the many hours I worked on the class, I still could only get C’s on the tests. I spent most of my free time correcting my quizzes and rewriting notes from the class.

My grades and attendance are very important to me, however, when a friend of mine pressured me into skipping class with him, I ended up getting a trip to the principal’s office, a lunch detention slip, and getting punished at home.

Throughout high school I have tried to take classes that were not only challenging, but would also be relevant to my future. I have taken nine AP level classes since sophomore year, and I have thrived in the difficult coursework that is meant to be college level. So far, I have proven my hard work and dedication by passing all of the AP tests thus far. I have also taken advantage of the advanced math coursework that is two years ahead than normal. I began this track since the fifth grade, and I continued and progressed all these year.

The teacher will give them an extra day even though they don’t have too. The next day will come, but yet they still make excuses to why they haven’t done it yet.

Honestly, I didn’t think I would make it this far. I didn’t think I would be up at 11 PM answering an insight question that asks me about me. I didn’t think that I would be sitting at a lunch table with my friends, eating and cracking jokes. I didn’t think I would sit down at the dining table singing happy birthday to my younger brothers and sister. I’ve struggled with depression for so long that it constantly felt like there was no point in fighting back.

Just two years ago, if someone would have told me that I would have a 3.9 GPA in college and that I would have dreams that are close to coming true, I would have laughed straight in their face. I was never truly inspired before in life, and I thought, with all the trouble that I got into in high school, that I was just a bad person, and that bad people do not get to achieve dreams. I was confused, a mess, and I did not even know how a "troubled youth" as I was labeled, would be able to do successfully in life. As I stated before in this application, I was diagnosed with a lot within high school, but it does not start there. No, this all goes back to preschool, where I was actually kicked out of my preschool and was told that I required “psychiatric”

I am extremely excited to be able to study abroad, however my GPA is a possible deterrent to this opportunity. Last semester, I had 16 credits and it was my first semester in the business school. I also began a role as peer mentor, switched jobs mid semester, and moved off campus as well. All of this adjustment contributed to my semester not starting off as strong as it should have. I really struggled with Accounting 100.

I check my watch as I race to catch my first ever Austin Metro bus home. My metro bus ride to school in the morning proved disastrous. Taking the southbound rather than the northbound bus had left me confused while waiting for the return bus and embarrassed while explaining the reason for my late arrival to school. It 's 4:33. Oh man.
