When I first came to high school I really didn’t know how to feel about it. I said I was just going to go with the flow and try to stay on task with my work. I was on the football team, so I felt like I had a couple of friends I knew already. My first semester went ok. I passed 3 of 4 classes. But my second semester went all wrong. I was not thinking about my work at all; I felt like I had a lot of better stuff I could be doing. Then when school started the next year and it was time for football season to start up, I was looking like beetle juice. I knew I wanted to play football but I didn’t have the grades, so I got my mind right and studied hard to get it. I kept telling myself to stay focused.
I learned that if you do not stay focused on the goal at hand, it will slip away from you. I used to always think that I could just “make it up another day” but I was so wrong. I also found out that I should keep a positive attitude in stressful situations.
Freshmen can learn that they should get off to the right start from the jump, keep the same pace throughout the semester, and not have the same mind frame that I had. Remember you can do anything you put you mind too.
