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
