I can recall a time when I challenged myself to do tremendous work over the summer. That summer was this year, where I encouraged myself to take drivers education for my license next year, test out of Algebra 2 and P.E., work at my parent’s nail salon to earn some cash, do my AP History and Advanced English homework, practiced my viola for Symphonic Orchestra, read during the night, and study for the S.A.T. (which was too early). I was prompted to act because I recently found my ambitions for my future, which is wanting to become some sort of engineer (undecided, but it is in this field), have the highest GPA possible, and get accepted into University of Michigan.

With my basic knowledge of math and acing the Geometry exam, I strived to learn three sections a day; two chapters per week. Compared this to the time it took to learn Geometry, I'm learning three times faster. This continued all the way till the week before testing out, and while I was in the middle of my crash course, my extra time in June was devoted to passing drivers …show more content…

With this, we were taking tests about every four days, and out of four tests, I only passed three. Despite passing my state test on the first shot, my time left came down to two months left. As Algebra 2 took up most of my daily schedule in the evening, I was rolling my other tasks, going to the gym early every morning to prep me for my evaluation, doing my other summer homework as soon as I got home, and the extra time I have left was put into reading and etc.
Over time, I fell into great fatigue, with only three to four hours of sleep, muscle pain from exercising, and still with homework to finish; this began to reflect on everything that was happening later. When it came to my testing out dates, I was unprepared. An all-nighter to study everything, I couldn't memorize half of the things I learned from both Gym and
