Passing


School, the one place where you can find out whether you are going places, or possibly not. You'll have your ups, your downs, and mostly your twist and turns of good and bad. Sometimes school is good to me sometimes its not. In the end though, I know its the best for me. My academics, the struggles, accomplishments, and my aspirations. Are all that make me, me.
Struggles, I only have three. Procrastination would be one of them. It has caught me to many times to count. It doesn't matter if its homework, projects, and essays. It's truly a horrible thing to have on you. With time though I've been able to over come this fault of mine. I have learned and seen that this work that is top priority and that this has to be done. One way or another. Now, my second one would be focusing. Sometimes it becomes difficult for me to focus in class when I'm either tiered, headache or something thing of that sort. Also with all the noise from the other students doesn't help either. Don't get me wrong, I love a good chat as much the next guy but this education must come first. With time though I've been able to focus more while blocking out sounds and focusing on one voice at a time. However, there is one struggle that beats the first two, and that's physical science. At times, the reading gets to be a bt much for me. It isn't that I can't read it all, it's that I tend to get headaches a lot from doing so. Also the memorization can be a challenge as well. For example the periodic table. At first, I thought that it was going to be impossible for me, but now I almost have have of the thing memorized. With all this in mind though, I have accomplished a lot as well.
My first major accomplishment would have to be finishing the first year of early college as a freshman and now being a sophomore. Completing that task wasn't an easy one. The work load was new, the teaching styles were different, and the atmosphere was new to me. The feel of the college was so interesting to me that it felt like a field trip. Though as time went on, it began to feel like any other high school. Just normal. It wasn't any easier having to do it alone but I did it still and i'm in my second year. Now before this though during my middle school years I was in orchestra playing violin and I won a scholarship to Baldwin Wallace college for two weeks and play in a show. That was a time to remember. The music, the food, the people (girls) were amazing. The entire time there was great and I learned so much there, made friends and ate like a king. I'll never forget the day I got that scholarship. Beyond all this though I do have some goals after high school.
I want to become a male RN and or EMT. Both of these fields aren't easy to get into. This woud be my way of being able to get back to people and being able to help them in a way that makes there life easier and more comfortable. Saving lives is just something that I've always wanted to do for some reason. I never knew why I start aspiring for this so much but this is what I'm shooting for. To see another person live to see the sun rise again and to see that smile on there face. That's what I want. Also if not this field, I wouldn't mind becoming a mechanic or an technician. Mainly with cars of course. Cars have always interested me and I just like the sound of the car when it turns on and to hear that “pur” you could say. None the less, This is what I'm going for and hopefully I make it one day. Now, all this together is what my high school experience is like.
The trials that I've gone through have been good and bad but never wrong. The struggles have made me stronger. The accomplishments have made me happy and ready to do more. Also my dreams make me more determined to be better for myself. MY academics will be decided on my own terms and I will make my dreams a reality.

  1. Chris, beware of the Creeping You! Also, you know that I do not want to see contractions. Be sure to proofread your essay to reduce some of the punctuation and capitalization errors. Also, be sure that your topic sentences give clear direction to your body paragraphs. Some of your points do not match.
