Significant Diagnoses Among High School Students

My first failure discouraged me to the point where, I felt like I would never reach an advanced math level again. The lack of self-confidence that resulted from my sub-par math scores soon began to negatively affect some of my other classes. I quickly realized that the trend had to stop. I worked diligently to achieve what, at the time, seemed unattainable. My change in the outlook of my repeated failures helped me to finally succeed. Throughout the course of the last two years, I have grown more self-aware in my study habits. I push myself even harder when I think I have done the best I can.

I asked my teachers when I needed to and read more books. Books helped me in learning new words and improved my spelling. Being placed in an English support class for testing low on the MAP test made me realize that I needed to try harder. I received one of the highest scores the following year and moved up to Accelerated English. This achievement made me realize I had determination; I worked very hard to obtain high grades. Advanced courses increased my confidence because I knew they could prepare me more for college. My goal was to be educated so I could be even more

Though I didn’t always make the highest grade in the classes that never stop me in my pursuit of knowledge, because I knew the classes I were taking weren’t merely about getting a good grade, but about learning and that’s what I

class, I wouldn’t put forth much effort. I ultimately chose to leave school and began working full time

However, junior year of high school changed that: I was given the opportunity to take either AP Psychology, or AP European History. I felt that the obvious choice would be to take AP European History, since I’m European and therefore already had a solid foundation for succeeding in the class, but something inside me told me to take a blind leap of faith and choose AP Psychology instead. This choice proved to be one of the greatest decisions I have made in my life. Through this class, I emerged myself into the world of psychology and fell in love with it. I didn’t complete the assignments to get a good grade. I completed them because I cherished every minute of it, and I started applying the materials learned in class to real life

I used to abe a strait A student. I excelled in all of my classes. My attendance was pretty great too. All of that changed on the Halloween of 2010. I had gotten mt period for the first time.

I had the stress of school, family, the play, and my best friend and I got in a fight too. But despite all that I was tired, hungry,

Also, I didn’t try my best like I would usually do. Like I know deep down inside me I am a A and B student. So for me to tolerate C’s, D’s, and F’s lowkey mad at myself. But, the funny thing Is that I didn't even try or honestly didn’t care until it was to late. Like instead of doing my homework, I would Talk to friends who honestly don’t care about me. Also, not going to sleep until 2am played a major part of

My schedule began to fill up, three times a week physical therapy, peritoneal dialysis check ups, in and out hospital stays at Lima Memorial hospital and The Ohio State University –Rhodes, seven times to be exact in 2014. I couldn’t tell you exactly what was going on in school, but I went to labs on Fridays for chemistry because they were mandatory and obviously test days, but it did me no help, what I really needed was to attend all of the classes to get the education I deserved. Latin American History was much easier for me to keep up with because I had a friend from work in that class and I was able to use her notes she took in class for exams and that is how I was able to pass that class. As well as there was no homework in that class that I remember.

Once I became a junior in high school I had been too far in the process of skipping school, not paying attention, and putting all my focus on other things. I’m not saying I didn’t learn things while or whenever I did go to because I learned a lot of things but not enough. I didn’t reach my full potential. I think this was the year I made friends who weren’t as great of influence. So, at this point my lack of focus on my education was because of

I went to school on November fourteenth, but then I didn’t make another appearance until ten days later. On the fifteenth everything changed and I became so raw and numb all at the same time. So much so that I couldn’t even handle looking at one history question or algebra problem for almost a week, something of which I normally I enjoy. Normally homework can relax me, and make me not think about everything else that’s happening in my life. Not this though; this was so big that even the most complicated algebra question couldn’t solve it.
