When I was attending high school as a senior, felt like such a long year with all the stressed i had over my shoulder, like weights on my back every day i attended school. Due to the fear of not being able to graduate or not being able to attend college. I knew plenty of friends that had the same problem as what i had. School was already stressful for high school sport members as well as teachers even so. As a senior i did pretty well with keeping my grades straight, as well as making sure i was fully organized when attending school.
We were always told everyday to make sure we apply for scholarships and to keep our grade up and well to graduate. But as a senior i feel like some us would get bored of school and would want to just get everything over with as fast as possible just to graduate. But I will admit towards the last 5 weeks of school which was before i graduated. I had let my grades go down, i did not sign up for the many scholarships i had already planned to sign up for, I let myself not be organized how i was, We all blamed the teachers for supposedly giving us too much work no time to study nor told us ahead of time before i had a test. But I came to realize that after high school when i had graduated, i could’ve done better in school. I would’ve paid more attention to my teachers that were all actually trying to help us and I just like wanted to slack off from school, which would affect my grades.
But Coming to realize it, too today i would’ve had scholarships and possibly a better report card. But i did well to graduate, and i did well by knowing now that nothing should stop me from continuing my education even if i did not do so well in the past. Now i try as much as i can to keep up with all my college homework which i have slacked on some but i am now catching up still with good grades. I have started looking at scholarships for when i decide what University to go to, which i do have some ideas of them but i am not quite too sure just yet.
Deciding to continue your education is important every day there is something new to learn about that you have possibly not heard of yet and it may be helpful in your future. Keeping up with my high school grades and doing more activities as school (clubs) would’ve helped me so much now that i see it, but my college life is not bad at all i enjoy it a bit more than high school.
