    "Success is the result of perfection, hard work, learning from failure, loyalty and persistence" I have had many ups and downs over the course of my life thus far. One specific example of this took place during my freshman year of high school. When I started high school it was very challenging for me, partially due to the fact that; during this time, I was lazy, unmotivated and did not really take school seriously. This by far is one of my biggest regrets to this day. Who would ever think that not trying during my freshman year would continue to follow me throughout the course of my academic career.…

    Junior year, I took Geometry while everyone was in Pre-Calculus. Even though I didn’t have enough time to catch up to the rest of my class, I still tried.

Sophomore was always failing and I missed so many opportunities to be spotted as a jazz musician.

    The day of August 27, 2012 I was officially titled a freshman. One look down those unknown red and blue walls, will forever change my perspective of high school. There was an instant moment of disbelief in my freshman, I was terrified, and no thought came to mind as to how I was going to survive high school for the next four years. Of course I knew it'll be different from my tiny middle school, but will it be like the cliché movies about the upcoming of age, or resemble the happiest times of life. From that first day, I knew I wasn’t like everyone else.…

    My freshman year was one of my craziest school year. It came from fake hall passes, to skipping in the restroom, and acting all bad by getting referrals. I remember my ap secretary always used to call me “Diablo” just because i always got in trouble and she said i used to drive her crazy. I just never cared about the consequence of skipping so much, good thing I never got caught. Meeting new friends and new attitudes and a little more of responsibility and to be honest waking up so early every single morning was not that fun.…

    High school changes people. They express themselves, become opinionated, and they start to look at the world differently as they experience things they have never encountered before. A wise Oliver Wendell Holmes said, “Man’s mind stretched to a new idea never goes back to its original dimensions.” This quote is an excellent way to describe my experience in high school.…

    I was eager for the challenge of fifth grade. My teacher in fourth grade, Mrs. Weisgurber, was constantly telling the class that fifth grade is ten times as hard as fourth grade. I guess I probably should’ve believed her on that. Actually, fifth grade was fairly easy, expect for math class. Math had never been my strongest suit, but I usually did well.…

She was a teacher that made me write and expand my mind.…

    I found this to be extremely violating and degrading to the students. There were some students with low grades, who had been forced to talk about it, while others were praised. The teacher would openly praise and shame the students. I honestly did not see the point in this exercise. Overall, I felt that it cultivated a negative atmosphere for the students.…
