My Dragon Research Paper

Decent Essays

I believe everyone has had an obstacle that they want to conquer and become successful at, whether it is physically or mentally. Everyone wants to defeat their dragon that is standing in their way of taking a hold of that wonderful treasure just behind it. The treasure I want by the end of the year is to get straight A’s in every class that I take. No matter what it takes I need to slay this dragon. I want to be able to say “I made it with all A’s” on the day of my senior graduation without looking back. What is in my way of slaying this dragon is having no motivation to keep on trying.
