When I was in eighth grade I began to start caring about school more than I did in seventh grade I started to do better in my classes and I started to improve better on my standardize tests.

In conclusion, Having these dramatic events that occurred in my life when I was younger have shown me that I they were not the reason why I didn’t do well in middle school, they showed me I was a big part of not doing my best. I know that I am not on the top of my class or make straight A’s all the time like a lot of students do but, I will push myself and challenge myself
