My Educational Opportunities

This topic has recommended that I write about how I have taken advantage of my educational opportunities, such as honors classes and so on. I would like to state that I am right now clearly taking advantage of my educational opportunities. I have free education and nobody is forcing me to go to school every day. I voluntarily wake up and come here to learn as much as I can learn in a day. I am strongly opinionated, and my opinion is that I am taking full advantage of everything in my educational reach. No, I am not in any honor classes, but atleast I care about my grades and my future to show up every day possible. Coming to school every day has not been the easiest since I live very far out of town. One personal challenge of mine is getting out of bed every morning at six o’clock am. Balancing out my school hours, my chore hours, and my homework time is hard to manage at times, and I have very little time for other fun stuff let alone going to sleep early and getting my eight hours. When I come home I am bombarded by lots and lots of random chores that I never expect. Afterwords, I eat and do homework, just to eat dinner and fall fast asleep. After what feels like two seconds of shuteye, I have fun with the same system over and over again.

The extracurricular activity provided me with a sense of comfort in front of and around my peers. It also pushed me harder to earn better grades as field trip privileges may be suspended because of low
