The Climb

Being a teenager in high school can be a very stressful experience. There is many obstacles that one may face during these years. During my high school experience, I have encountered many obstacles, some good and some bad.
I have learned that not everyone will make it through high school without a little struggle. I am one of those people who get very stressed when I struggle with something. I struggle with many things that I know I can fix if I work a little harder. I have issues when it comes to test taking. I know I can improve my test taking skills by taking practice tests. I also do not follow along well when I read aloud. It is hard for me to comprehend what is being said. I understand more when I work alone. Another issue I have is that I procrastinate. Sometimes, I think this is not such a big problem because I work well under pressure, but I know it is a bad habit.
Although I have had some struggles, i have also accomplished many goals. I managed to make it into National Junior Honors Society my 8th grade year and finish my year with a 4.0 GPA. Before high school, I always made honor roll and had very high grades. I am glad to say that I have many awards for my accomplishments. I have earned many metals and certificates for achieving my goals.
I have so many plans ahead of me after I graduate from Early College. I plan to join the military and become a U.S Marine and serve for my country for two years. I will join the military and I will already be a Sargent since I will have my associates degree. When I am finished in the marines, I plan to come home and finish school. I want to go to college for my Masters degree in criminal justice in law. I will be a great lawyer because I love to argue and hate to be wrong. I have not decided which college I want to do this a yet, but I have thought of a few.
My high school experience has helped me conquer many obstacles. I cannot wait to achieve the goals I have set and make my former teachers, family, and friends proud. I am determined and will not let them down.
