The Truth by Breshunta Bush

When I first started high school I thought it was a joke. I use to wander around the school skipping. I wouldn’t do any work unless I really felt like it. I really didn’t care about school and was ready to drop-out the first day. I got into a lot of fights. I really didn’t take advantage of my free education. High school was full of gangster males; I was focused more on them and parties. I was always disrespectful to my teachers. They tried so hard to help me, but I refused to accept the help. I got in so much trouble. I got kicked out and went to the alternative school. Luckily, I was on track to make it to the next grade. I had my mom to stay by my side and motivate me. My teachers started meeting up with my mom and me to talk about what I needed to do to stay focused and on track.

I learned from the previous bad choices that I had to make up my mind if was going to graduate or not. I started trying to get along with people, because it wasn’t that serious. It was time to mature and grow up. My teachers were only there to make me successful in life. I started being around positive people that would motivate me to do right. I learned that life isn’t always about me. I had to grow up take advantage of my wonderful free education. My grades and things started to improve. I no longer needed my mom to come for a meeting for my bad behavior. She was now coming for good things I achieved. If I wanted to be c/o 2010, I had to work for what I wanted in life. Thanks to all the people that supported me and saw potential in me to push me to achieve my goals. “You Have To Go Through Hell To Get To Heaven”.

So for those freshmen, I wouldn’t be telling y’all this if I wasn’t telling the truth. Take advantage of your free education. Be successful, and stay focused, eager to make something out of your life. Now there are going to be struggles for y’all because they took out the graduation test, but yall still have to pass every final exam. Some people aren’t good test. But have faith and be confident, because everyone deserves an education. High school is just getting you prepared for the real world. Always study when you have free time. Freshmen, I’m not saying that it is always going to be easy, but if you do what you have to do, things will go by so easily for you. There will be obstacles that will come your way, but learn how to overcome them. My advice is the advice that will help you in the long run, so take my advice because yall are the future for tomorrow.
