Transcript Reflection Essay

If you were to see the ups and downs of my transcripts you would also notice the change

in schools. This being my third high school, my circumstances were changing constantly. The

only time where things were stable was my sophomore year and I did really good, even got

myself involved in a club. I think over the years I matured and made sure I put effort in my

grades regardless of the changes in my life. It’s hard not to put school second or third or even

fourth to everything.

My freshman year like most kids I didn’t take school seriously, my sophomore year I did

really good, junior year decent, this year a more consistent good with the occasional stressful

grade here and there. Im honestly just glad im graduating, “circumstances change about every

three months” my recruiter told me, and damn he was right. Part of the reason I began to keep

my grades in check was because of my recruiter. Always keeping up with me and not afraid to

check my grades himself. This year the military pulled me through everything, it was my

motivation. Summer school sucked but I did what I needed to do and now I look forward to my

diploma.

Im not neccesarily proud of my performance in school because overall it was just decent.

If I could change anything it would be to find something sooner to motivate me to apply myself

more to school. When I see my lower grades I think of all the days I came to school with no

sleep,stressed,emotional. Like every other kid probably. Showing up anyways was part of

growing up. Im happy to be graduating with the people im graduating with. Most of all im ready

to leave highschool.
