My grades have always been something important to me. Freshman year, I slacked off and didn't realize I had to actually try and put in a good effort to get good grades. I got all my credits, but my grades were bad and my GPA was even worse. From that moment on I wanted to make it a priority to get good grades.
In the beginning of sophomore year, I moved to Sacramento to live with my mom after my parents divorce. There, I started off my second year of high school at Center High School. I didn't like it at all. I didn't know anyone, and it was hard to make friends because a lot of the people were really mean. This only made going to school worse. I didn't have the desire to go to school, and I was sick a lot so I missed a lot of school. In addition to little colds every now and then, I also got swine flu and was out of school for a week and a half. By the time I was allowed back to school, I had so much to make up I was overwhelmed and couldn't make it all up in the short amount of time I had. My grades suffered more than I did and I was again not satisfied with what I had earned.
Second semester of sophomore year, I moved back to Tracy to live with my dad. That's when I registered for Kimball High School. I was disappointed that I had to go to Kimball because my best friend of 12 years went to Tracy High. As much as I wanted to hate being at Kimball, I couldn't help but like it. The schedule worked really well for me and I decided to use that to my advantage. I told myself I would get good grades that semester and Id do anything to make it happen.
I immediately turned my plans into actions. I tried really hard and kept up with all of my homework. I asked my teachers if I didn't understand something and actually studied hard for tests and quizzes. I still remember the day that I got my report card. As I opened it and read my grades, I felt the amazing feeling of a job well done and an accomplishment I had finally achieved. I was so proud when I showed my dad, I had all A's and B's. I'm proud that I worked so hard because it showed me that I can do anything I set my mind to.
