My high school experiences!

High school is the time when most people gain a direction. The simple lessons in high school are going to help someone in their academic endeavors. For me, I can decipher from the negative and the positive what I will need to continue doing well. When I entered Early College High School I began to encounter many academic struggles, accomplishments, and aspirations.

In high school I come across a handful of struggles. Struggles like my college classes, homework procrastination, and my studying habits. In my college classes, it’s the constant fear of missing an assignment that was a challenge for me. Homework is important to me, but sometimes I do not always start my homework in the right amount of time. I procrastinate for various reasons but mostly when I am tired. As for studying, it took me a long time to learn how to study. I have never been a student who had to study much until I got into Early College High School. I had to study for subjects like World History, Biology, Physical Science, Geometry, and English at times. Aside of the academic struggles I have had a lot of accomplishments.

            When I entered high school I tried to keep up my grades as best I could. I received honor roll for both grading periods which was very hard to do. I managed to also be invited to be recognized by the Lorain County Alliance of Black School Educators (LCABSE). I was very pleased as to what hard work and determination got me. Along with my awards and recognition I also finished out with a very high 3.4 GPA. These goals that I accomplished around the same time period got me thinking, about what I wanted to put my knowledge to good use for.

            I can honestly say I have always been a dreamer. I could take a whole day to dream up what directions I want to go in life. Right now I am aspiring to graduate Early College with both my high school diploma and my Associate of Arts degree. From then on, my imagination fills up with countless possibilities of what I could go on to be. I want to embrace my love for open end creativity, so I am leaning towards Interior Design. I also do not want to ever be limited to just one aspect of life so I also want to major in Marketing, which is basically a degree in business or finance. Whatever I end up doing with my life I know that it will be good for me and that I will always try my hardest.

            I can definitely admit that high school has thrown me some curve balls! All throughout the experience so far, I have dealt with each challenge to the best of my ability. I have worked hard during my academic struggles and accomplishments, so I know it will help me with my aspirations.
