I remember back when I was in middle school just like it was yesterday. My middle school year were all mostly good until I got to seventh grade. When I was in seventh grade, for some reason I stopped caring about everything. I didn’t do my worked or pay any attention, when tests came, I was lost. The end of the year came and I was failing. My parents got a call from the teachers saying I was in danger of failing the school year. That’s when I sat down and thought to myself “what am I doing? “ I realized I was only hurting my grades and my future. It was either get my mind together or suffer the consequences. I admit it was hard getting those grades back up, I was behind on everything. Everyday for hours I’d sit and do all my work that had to be done. It felt as if I was never going to get done, that’s how much I missed out on, My parents both made sure I didn’t move from the table until I got done.



In school while, kids were playing at recess time, I was doing work. I thought to myself “why did I make that choice and fall behind on all this work? “ But each day I pushed myself and thought about the negative things that could come to me if I didn’t get my act together. My teachers were proud of my hard improvement. I was so close to completing my work, so I kept trying no matter what. Finally, when I finished, I was shocked! I didn’t think I could do it, but I did and still to this day I’m proud. Ill never let someone tell me I cant do something, because really I know I can if I put my mind to it and that’s exactly what ill keep telling myself from here on out. I learned that in life you have to go through some down falls in order to pick your self up again, but that all only a test to see if you’ll really take that chance to fix things. No matter what the situation is you can do whatever you want in life as long as you try and never give up.



Now that I'm in high school and its my senior year I'm proud to say that all the hard work payed off. After I graduate I plan on going to nursing school, and maybe even also go for school to become a flight attendant. I wanna become a nurse not only because I took the trade in school but because I like helping people it makes me feel good about myself. The feeling I get when I help someone just makes me so happy. Ever since I was a little girl I always dreamed of becoming a doctor or a nurse the idea of helping people and having them and their families leave happy and be satisfied with the help Ive given them would also make me happy, because than Ill know i did my job correct. The past years that I have been in high school gave me experience with nursing. This year I'm going to a home to take care of the elderly, I'm so excited and cannot wait !
