In September writing was my biggest problem but now it has gotten much easier to punctuate and organize all my writing pieces. But on another note I feel as if I should have put more effort toward all my work I did, I never hit those A+ grades everyone said I should have gotten so next year I will do everything in my power to prove them right because I know I can do better I just need another chance next year. All the strategies I was taught will stay with me forever I will use them through high school and even collage because they helped me and others

Anytime I was asked, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” I would quickly reply” a lawyer” As the years went by I still had that goal in mind, but I began to realize that I was not exactly Ivy League material.

For many years I was scared to go to college because I thought I wasn’t college material.
John Kelley History Research Paper 1960’s Revolution In the early 1900’s through the 1950’s growing up in America was a very strenuous. Most teenagers and children went through school only to get a job right after High School to support their families. This reason was mainly due to the war and the Great Depression.

I thought that I would make friends right away and do well in school, but I did not. People were not only very judgmental but they would bully me for being different. At the age of nine or ten I could not understand why they hated me so much. There were many times where I would come home to my family crying my eyes out. It has taken me years to make good friends, but now that I have them I feel ambitious and more motivated.
You’ll be the first graduating class, a great academic program, and also a nine hour school day..” (insert shocked face) This/that’s actually how my face looked! Nine hours a day?

Easter 2010: An Epic Self Discovery Amy Foote English 121: Composition I Professor Timothy Peoples May 8, 2015 Easter 2010: An Epic Self Discovery I never realized how life altering Easter 2010 would be. I have overcome many things in life, but getting clean and sober was one of the hardest, but most rewarding obstacle. Little did I know that I would embark on a two month journey of self discovery. That one day would be the starting of a two month journey that would change the way I saw myself.
