You Are The Dumbest Smart Person I Had In Class

I have been going to school since I was four years old and, that means that I have been attending school twenty to twenty two years, including kindergarten, middle school, high school and now college. As every student, I had my ups and downs in school; I had some failures and some successes. One of the failures that affected me the most and that I will always remember was the time that I was in high school during my junior year. I failed almost all my classes and, I only passed two classes and with a C. In the other hand I had some really good success. The most recent one and the one that I am still happy about is getting my Family Development Credential. We learn from our mistakes and also from our successes, these two times in my life

I have always dreamed of being in the medical field. But, there came a point in my life where income was more important than education. After graduating in June of 2011 from The Charter school of San Diego, I had the perfect career plans. Little did I know a perfect future was never promised. The trials I have overcome, have molded me into the hardworking ambitious young adult I am today. I am truly going to be an amazing Dental Assistant.

Furthermore, one of my most challenging experiences was maintaining a 3.0+ GPA in school while attending Oakland Community College in the Dual Enrollment Program. It was a tough situation to be in, due to the excessive amount of work I had to do for both high school and college. Every week I had to complete a chapter of my book, which consisted of long sections using words that I have never even heard of in my life, the prolonged chapters were followed by a required one to two-page essay that was due the next week or else it was considered late. Now keep in mind that these essays were a huge part of my overall grade, so I am embarrassed to say that out of the ten chapters, about four or five of them were late, but the reason for that is because

First of all, I did not understood English very well, and second, I discovered that I was going to graduate two years later than what I thought; I became a sophomore instead of a senior, and I did not like that. I can still hear on my mind the bad comments that some important people from school told me about my capabilities, without knowing how hard-worker and determined I was going to be. About two weeks after I started my first semester, I realized that my English was good, and having that on mind, I decided to do my best to graduate in one

My grades have been better since then, the year after I passed all my classes. My mistake from sophomore year jolted my life greatly but I’ve learned from it. I believe the reason I did poorly was that I was overwhelmed, many argue that sophomore year is the hardest of all four years in high school, I’d say I can agree with that majority. Mistakes aren’t always all negative, if people didn’t make mistakes then they wouldn’t know what to do to better themselves; nobody is perfect and no one should be. We are taught about the mistakes made in history so that we can learn from them and ensure that we don’t repeat the same mistakes that have already been made. The thing I learned from my failure is to have faith in yourself and believe that you will fix your mistakes. And don’t allow any negative influences to discourage you. Since then I’ve made an effort to start pushing myself to accomplish my goals for myself to do well to make myself proud because another thing I learned is that it’s not healthy to obsess over achieving your goals to please someone else who never seems to be pleased no matter how hard you

I admit, I had a very challenging time last semester, and as a result my grades suffered. I don’t mean to make excuses for my poor performance in school but I would like to explain my circumstance. During my second semester of college I treated my classes like I did in high school thinking I could coast by and pass my classes, but when I noticed how poorly I was doing in class everything was already headed downhill. I started the second

Looking at school, I had an okay first semester. I started the morning with Algebra II and photography, which was a class I really enjoyed. Then my advisory is with the ASB officers and we either do homework or we talk about events we are planning for our school in the future. From lunch, I had AP U.S. History and then I'm a TA (teacher's assistant) for my mom and then go to yoga. Seems like I had an easy semester at first. Nevertheless, that was my feeling until the second semester came. I now have three hard classes in a row. That includes pre-calc and this class, Honor's English III, along with my AP U.S. History. I still TA for my mom and have yoga, but those three hard classes make academics a little

Throughout my education I excelled in every subject, until I entered high school. I began to take more rigorous courses and my grades began to drop. The coursework was a dozen times harder than any other courses I’ve ever taken and I struggled greatly. Instead of taking one AP course my junior year, I took three: English Literature, Physics 1, and Psychology.

I do not feel as if my GPA accurately explains my work ethic or my knowledge in general. During my sophomore

The next year, my junior year, I started to become a more social person. Not having the proper guidance to balance my education and social life, I started slacking. I pretty much gave up on school, moved out of my parents’ house at 17, and thought I had the world figured out. Somehow I still managed to graduate with a 3.2, but I never gave college a half a thought. I was busy being an idiot.

I remember the first time I actually finished and turned in an essay, if I had to describe that day in

American politician and political theorist, John C. Calhoun once quoted, “In looking back I see nothing to regret and little to correct.”. In life, when we look back there are some instances about whom, when we think of, wish to rewind our life and correct them. In college life, there is a point in one’s life when one unknowingly makes some wrong decisions, which in turn impact his or her career in long run. One such experience, which compels me to rethink about my college experience and would like to correct if given an opportunity, was my procuring lower grades due to my laziness and a laid back attitude.

With always doing well in school without studying. I learned that I do not know how to study and I thought I did not need to and I was in for a rude awakening. I was not really asking for help. I didn't use the resources at student success to help me in areas of studying where I lacked. I started studying with a group of people that kept me more grounded and I was doing better in my grades and my overall performance. This is why I picked Dillard as a university because I have met people that really care and having the want for everyone to succeed.

I would like to explain why I have a weaker GPA in the first semester at college. Initially, I did not know the art of registering right courses as a freshman. While others registered most of fun elective courses, I took four rigorous business major required courses that consist of 5 presentations and 50 pages’ paper and 12 exams throughout the quarter. Specifically, my first business analytics course ended up with a C+, that was the average grade in the class. It is an extremely hard course and the professor chose not to curve our scores. More importantly, as an international student, I faced cultural challenges and language barriers that made achieving better grades even harder. Also, I rushed into a sorority during the first week of college,

In the beginning of my college career, I was hardly the student that I am today. There were many
