Moving from Thera was not easy for the people live there and they have to face some challenges, I can relate to that. In mid-2013, I had saved enough money to pay for GED classes when I found the information of a private school that help students to finish secondary school with a diploma and not with a GED. I checked in that program in May, it was a hybrid program in which students only had to attend classes once a week if they finished all the work on time. It took me from May to August studying day and night to finish all the work. I got my high school diploma at the end of those four months. That same August 2013 after about a week of my graduation, I registered to the Valencia College and began my …show more content…
I only need 4 more classes to finish Valencia and transfer to UCF. Therefore, I registered for Microeconomics, Statistics, Mythology, and Calculus for Business. Here I am thinking, it is only four classes and it should be a piece of cake. I do not know why I keep doing that to myself. It is like claiming for having a semester full of difficulties. First, it was the lab of microeconomics that did not work for me. It did not matter what or who try it, it just did not want to work. Therefore, I have to withdraw that class because all the work that was supposed to be submitted. I just kept receiving bad grades for not having my work done, just because my lab did not work. Therefore, I registered again for another microeconomic class fast paced, and that went well. I was about to sing victory! Now I am going to have a good semester. What I did not know, it was that my second challenge just was waiting for me. Then this class happened, I always have loved mythology, but I did not think that it was going to be so difficult because all my knowledge was in Spanish and it was challenging trying to translate in a way that made sense..

    Honestly, in the beginning of this class, I had an overwhelming impression about the modules that I needed to complete in 9 weeks span. Additionally, I had a hard time figuring out the logic behind the little assignments. I felt like I am just wasting my time. My time this quarter is very limited between work, school, and personal responsibilities. But then, as the assignments progresses, it started to make sense, that those little assignments were essential.…

    During my junior year I experienced failure. I had taken 3 AP classes and I was in cheer at my high school, and trying to figure out a balance between the two was difficult for me because it seemed like cheer took up a lot of my time and in the past other two years it had, but I had managed to still do well in my honors and AP classes. My junior year was another story, I struggled a lot at the beginning of the school year, and most of first semester was spent with me having an F sometimes more than one, and that was a failure to me because I had my heart set on going to a four college or university and I knew that if i had an F i wouldnt qualify.…

    Three years into my high school I hadn't gotten into the state of mind that most over achievers have.
