From the very beginning of school and throughout the years, every student struggles and has their ups and downs. I distinguished that it was time for me to take education seriously when high school was right around the corner. My life was incredible I had both my parents who always advised me and wished the best for me, three siblings whom I’ve gone on adventures with and friends whom I’ve always had a blast with. My childhood was typically running around the whole neighborhood with friends and sometimes causing mischief. Although, when it came to school, I just wanted to run away and isolate myself from the world.

Mr. Leach on the other hand from the day I meet her was different, I felt a sense of belonging when I first attended her class. I remember one time I had a problem with my class schedule and Ms. Leach was actually very busy grading finals. I mentioned to her about the problem I had with my class schedule and she told me she can help she didn’t say another day.

I too tried to focus but, it was too intense and my mind simply would not cooperate. I had a talk with Ms. Leach and I explained everything. I also asked her if it was too late to take another class instead.

That is the way Ms. Leach was using powerful words and telling me I cannot give up on anything. Ms. Leach also used many examples saying that If I were to give up now I will soon be making that choice in life often. Soon her persuasion had won over my thoughts of giving
