Those are the classes I didn 't have much trouble on, the classes I had trouble on would be Comm, Math, Science, American Government, and World Geography. The grades I would be getting for those classes would be D+ and F’s, I wasn’t so pleased when I saw those grades. You may say how can you flunk classes easy like that. Well, we know several of our classmates that do well in comm but aren’t doing their best in a math class. Well, that’s me but in a different way.

I have recently just had a field trip at Chazan Museum of Art, and Modern Museum of Contemporary Art in Madison, Wi. I enjoy going to art museums. I enjoy seeing what numerous artist can make, such as animation’s, those are pretty nifty if you ask me. You need to spend several hours on just one certain thing to make it perfect. We were able to watch a little “show” on an animation on some guy that loves his nose dearly and when the guy lied he nose would grow longer and leave. Other than field trip I really enjoy making memories throughout my high school years. As the class, we all have many memories together such as powderpuff football, school dances and prom and sports events. As I have not been able to attend some of these events I am still happy with the memories I have made throughout the events I have

    Needless to say my grades improved from this. I also began to be more interactive in my school by joining several clubs like Garland High School Marching M.O.B (Mighty Owl Band) and became more active in my community by volunteering to help local schools and soup kitchens such as Life Message. I 'm only young and in high school once so I decided to dedicate some time to making memories helping my school and local community. While it has been extremely difficult and has required extreme time management, I wouldn 't want to live my life any other way right…

    Since day one of my freshmen year, I knew I wanted to make my education count 100%. Throughout my life, I’ve had my fair share of good and bad decisions but the best decision of my life was to get my grades straight and focus on school. For the past two and a half years, i’ve put my absolute best into coming out on top and so far i’ve succeeded. Being invited into the National Honors Society is definitely one of my biggest accomplishments that i’m very proud of. When I was a bit younger, around seventh or eighth grade, my grades weren’t anything I took a lot of pride in.…

    Starting high school is an overwhelming feeling as it’s the last four years of schooling where it was time to look at my strengths and weaknesses in order not to fail. I never really thought that hanging out with friends would change my focus on school. Although I had every intention to pass all my classes, peer pressure got to me to where school wasn’t important anymore. I wasn’t an A straight student nor was I good at sports, but I never intended to fail any courses. Even though I didn’t pass all my classes, it was the fact that when I failed them, it was my parent’s disappointment where I truly felt like a failure.…

    In the Spring of last year, it was my Junior year, one of the most critical years in high school. It’s the year that colleges look at the most, also it was the year that I was in some of the most challenging classes. Mostly honors, a lot of homework, and tests to go along with it. Studying would take me until late at night, and even on weekends, all day long. When it’s the end of the term everyone checks their grades for their report cards, and progress reports.…

    It was in early June of 2006, a pleasant, exciting Saturday evening. One hundred of us sit anxiously, one after the other, in cold metal chairs in the cafeteria of my elementary school. We wore purple silky gowns. We wait nervously for our names. Once all our names are called, we wait patiently for what happens next, and look for our parents faces, we had just heard that we were the 2006 graduating kindergarten class at Elgin Elementary.…

    At the start of high school, my family was more separated than ever, and being that my dad is in the military it never got better. Thus, I was forced to do what every young man was supposed to do, man up and get thru the day, week, and year. I would cope with my unfortunate life at home by going to the library every day which caused me to excel in high school but had created a void in my life, making me into an anti-social kid who was naïve to the outside world. As I hit senior year of high school everything in my life seemed to fall apart and the only safe places I had were the gym and library at the time. I had no goal set in mind going their other than being there for myself looking back to those days.…

    University Of Texas Failure is always a path to success ive figured out early in my life. As a little kid adapting toward my teenage years I made many embarrassing mistakes in my life that sometimes I wouldn’t even do the chances I was given due to the fear of failing. The funny thing is it’s not me failing that lets me down, but the advantage or only advantage I was chosen on something and I failed. Well I’m not going to fail today because i am blessed to apply at a college that most kids don’t even have money or opportunities that I had. Most kids in other countries could only be living 1% of my life and it would be the happiest thing for them ever and for that I’m grateful for everything that was given to me since a baby.…

    High school was anything but easy, or at least that’s my outlook on the whole subject. Although I struggled with many things I was able to push through and make the best of a bad situation, but then again that kind of seems like a kind of motto that one could use to describe my last four years of high school. And even though I switched schools half way through high school with the help of some friends and a big help from art I was able to make it to school and complete my goal of graduating. I Switched schools half way through my second year because I was having a problem with turning in work. Once I was moved to this school I started to fail one class per semester, except for the last semester of my third year.…
