Prompt is the bump in the road. Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Sometimes we are the bump in the road. I had always done well in school, until last year. Eleventh grade was certainly not my best year academically, but it was a huge year in terms of personal growth and realization. I just wish that realization would have occurred before I had to see the disappointment on my mom's face when she opened the mail containing my final report card. While I don't know whether my slip in grades was due to a lacksidasical effort or just being too cool for school, I do now know that those behaviors have consequences, whether it be having to retake a class, losing a good student driving discount or seeing that look. I have realized to achieve my goals, I first have to identify want they are and then work feverishly to obtain them. My experience has taught me to learn from my mistakes and avoid repeating them. I am going to have to work hard in my senior year and put forth a serious effort into my studies in order to undue the damage I myself did to my GPA. I've also learned the sense of self-satisfaction that you feel when you've put forth your best effort is the feeling I want to have and is the one thing no one can take away from you. The road of life will contain many bumps and I plan to plow right over them by putting forth my best effort in all of my endeavors.
