Transcript/ Attendance Reflection
Since moving from different districts and starting a whole different life in a new town
there have been many times, I unfortunately have missed classes. There comes certain situations
in life that involve one person doing a drastic change in their life, my consisted of leaving my old
self and starting new in a new town away from my parents.
At the beginning it seemed easy, starting the rest of what was left of my Junior year in a
new high school, new town, meeting new people. As time went on I began to slack off, better yet
I really did not have the minds to be focusing in any school curriculum. My grades have always
ranged from a Cs and Bs once in awhile As. I am not a straight A students but I am quite aware
however that anyone can be that straight A student if they set their mind and capability to it. My
home life has taken a toll in my studies many times since, I am the type of person to often
procrastinate or tend to do things at the last minute. However, I know a lot more than I myself
am aware of. Yes, I admit that my high school years depict on how my upcoming college years
will be. And I also admit i have made very poorly choice, but going back and forth from Ceres to
Merced every weekend gets me quite tired by the time i start school on monday, and that shows
on my tardiness, absences, and grades.
I am not the type to put excuses on my actions or reasons of doing things. However, this
essay informs us to speak upon my reflection of my transcript grades and attendance. Therefore,
I believe that each and everyone of my absents is because I have trouble coming to and from
Ceres every Sunday and as time passes I just feel more and more tired. But, pushing myself and

trying to stay awake is my main goal every day i attend school especially since I want to be the
first one of my family to graduate high school and do something with my life.
I believe grades are the most important part of each year of my high school experience,
and they give the outlook of how serious I am taking it. However, I also must add that I have yet
to be a perfect straight A student. My grades tend to roam there each letter possible and towards
the end I always tend to do way better and boost up my grade into a passing grade. My overall
reflection of both my transcript and attendance is that I could have made better choices and put
more effort into some things, but also I am aware that I tend to get frustrated with myself if
things are not done and is also my own fault. But, if i could have change something from the
beginning was to excel more in my academic life.
