Getting your high school diploma requires a lot of hard work. I had spent the last three years struggling in high school just so I could earn my diploma. This was my first time going to high school in the United States. My first day in high school was not quite good because nothing was familiar. I had no idea of where the office was or where my classes were. I finally found someone to help me out.

This time I understand how high school grades work, this is when I decided I need to work hard to get A and B’S in all my classes. For me to get do that I had to attend all my classes, do all my homework, attend summer school, and stay afterschool sometimes if I need help. The biggest thing I have done in my second year was to take a class called e2020. This class is for students who fail some classes or miss classes. I decided to take e2020 to cover up the subjects I miss. E2020 is a computer class so some of the work you can do it at home if u have computer but not any tests. My second year went successful because I have done all the things that I have decided to do to put my credit up so I can graduate.
My senior year was very important. there were many things I hope to accomplish during my senior year. graduation was my top needed. on the other hand, there was a chance that If I don't graduate my future would have been in risk. I have decided to do the same thing I have done the second year. I had to take e2020 again to make my points go up again and try to get A and B’s in all my classes. If I do all this thing I knew I will graduate on time. Finally, everything went well the way I wanted and I reach my graduation on my last quarter and this how I have graduated from high

My life has changed in the past two years and I have been struggling with a knee problem called Osteochondritis Dissecans, or OCD for short.

This can cause the bone to crack and loosen and sometimes even completely disconnect from the joint. Not only has OCD taken me out of all my extracurricular activities such as, hockey and soccer, it has also taken a huge toll on my academics.…

    Although many people believe that people should get their driver's licenses before he or she receives their diploma, I disagree with that people that agree that a person shouldn’t have a high school diploma before they get a drivers licenses. First I disagree because many of today's people start to drop out. Every year over 1.2 million students in high school drop out or 7000 a day in The United States. If that many don't get their diploma then they aren't going to be able to drive to their workplace or if they are on the road and get spotted by an Officer then they will be fined just because of the bill.…

    I feel that I was able to accomplish this because of my hard work and great feedback that I have received from my classmates. My other important goal I had for myself was to fix all of my grammar errors which have haunted me throughout my entire educational career. I am most certain that I accomplished this goal mostly because of the help of my handbook without it I might have still been lost. I mostly feel proud of how well I did in my narrative essay because that was a first for me and was also the one that stressed me out the most. After completing it I found that it was really not that difficult the basic thing is just to tell a story about yourself and adding sources to provide backup.…
