In my high school career, I have had victories and failures, each of them giving me a new perspective on life, a new way to live my life without procrastination or low self esteem my ability to be all that I can be, I love that high school has made me a more confident and strong minded person. I'm sad that this is my last year, but that just means I'm opening a new chapter in my book of life. The first experience was in my first year, when I studied Spanish. I did poorly in class getting Fs and Ds because the foreign language I had understood throughout my schooling was not my strong point. I thought it would all end at the end of the semester because I couldn't really fail my parents are so strict about my performance in class Math always confused me no one could really convince me how it actually worked my parents even started to pay for tuition at this teaching place and we stopped because she couldn't get through to me either. I had a good year freshman year in math, I had everything under control, I was getting A's and B's left and right, the teaching assistant just knew I knew how to do it. Everything fell apart after that year of geometry, I couldn't handle geometry, I was always dangling on the edge of a C in that class and I had to keep it up, because my parents would have grounded me all summer if I had got a D so I did my best to maintain a C. The first final of the year wasn't easy, but the test we did beforehand we did in groups so I had people who knew what they were doing to help me passing it was an easy B which improved the my grade enough to get a C as my final grade in the first semester, which saved me from having my parents ground me. It was going pretty badly, I had some homework that I didn't do because I got a headache almost every night and I fell asleep because I didn't understand how to do it. I still had to do the study guide and the other study guides so I didn't finish everything, I wasn't studying and the night before the final exam I studied as much as I could because I knew what I needed to get a C so I studied as hard as I could. me
