One of my greatest accomplishments during my high school years was getting

back on track passing my classes. High school was difficult for me since Freshman

year, I had to leave to Mexico and finish my Freshman year over there, which was a

change. I had to meet new people and make new friends, but most importantly, I had to

read and write in Spanish. I could only speak Spanish but didn’t know how to read or

write it became difficult for me to learn, but I did. I finished freshman year and passed it

with an average grade. I was getting the hang of how I had to perform in my new school

to get good grades.

I started sophomore year and was going out well until I started to ditch class and

not going to school. That's when my grades started lowering down and I was failing a

couple of classes. My mom eventually found, out and I dropped out of school I only

finished one semester but didn’t pass all my classes. I didn’t get to start the second

semester, so I didn’t finish sophomore year. When the next year came around, I wanted

to start my junior year and wanted to go back to school, but my mom didn't want me to

go. I waited until senior year to go back to school and couldn’t be more excited to be

back.

When I started my senior year, I realized I was so behind and I knew that it was

going to be impossible to graduate this year. Everyone told me it was going to be

impossible for me to make up all my credits in such a short period. I never gave up I

tried my hardest and was always at my counseling office seeing new options on how to

make up my credits. While I was doing some in my classes, I was taking online classes
as well and was using my time efficiently. When I finished making up my credits, I

couldn’t believe it I couldn't believe I was going to graduate this year. Finally, with my

hard work, perseverance, and the support of my school and teachers I could make my

dream happen. I knew I was capable of accomplishing this and more I can do anything I

set my mind to.
