                                                                       The Struggle

            School is a struggle this year. Elementary, Middle school, and High school were easy. But coming into college was the difficult part. School has been a struggle for me I was always the slow learner. No matter what I was always the one being picked on at school.  Aside from that in high school was a long journey. Freshmen year I was just excited that I was in high school which was a big change from middle school.  As I was as saying freshman year I really didn’t focus on school I was so into trying to find where I fit in. Sophomore year I joined the drill team sort of like a dance team. That’s when I was focusing on my grades because to on the team I had to have good grades. Sophomore year I was on fire never missed a day maybe just one because I was sick but aside from that was always present at school. I was also making the A & B honor roll every 6 weeks I would get my certificate.  Junior year came around and I was out of the dance team I was doing volleyball. With volleyball it was leaner yea my grades had to be passing but not as high as when I was in the dance team. But even in volleyball I tried my best to keep my high grades as possible. I wouldn’t get A & B honor rolls like when I was in the dance team but I still got one or two around there. Senior year I was just focused graduating and getting out of high school couldn’t handle it anymore. I was just focused on just getting out I forgot to pay more attention on college and seeing how to feather my education. Yes I graduated from high school my family says it’s a miracle, but I was determine to show and prove to them that I can graduate high school. Now till this day I still ask myself how I got college and still standing here. Have to say college has broken me down but I try to get myself back up. I just have to tell myself to keep moving forward and never give up. School for me will always be a struggle but somehow I will get through it.
