    Towards the end of high school, I got accepted into an early college program at a nearby community college. I was able to get two years of college for free along with receiving an Associates of Arts degree. The program was very challenging being that I had never had any experience with going to college. I made a few C’s my first two semesters and was so upset. I had never been challenged so much since I was so used to the high school way of things where I could slack off and still make an A. I quickly learned I had to change up my studying skills if I wanted to do well.…

But the feeling that I felt when I got my report card and saw the letter A on it, was an incredible feeling of accomplishment. The low point had to be my two years spent in middle school. I didn’t care.…

Coming into highschool I had no previous study skills , or good student habits.

My parents always pushed me to take the harder class and not take the easy way out with my classes. I was also taught to find something that I’m good at and keep doing that and that’s what I did.…

    I did not like school throughout elementary, middle and the beginning of high school because I felt like no one pushed me or had any faith in my education. When I was a sophomore in high school I changed my entire outlook on my education and became studious. To learn material I had to use resources outside of school and take responsibility for my education. I began to realize that without education I could not succeed and I would just be another person who graduated from Graham High School, the school with very little potential. I began to earn good grades and I got involved with clubs, sports and I even became the student body president of my high school.…
