So because I moved schools from Indonesia to America in my junior year I am required to write this. How is it?
I started my education in a Japanese school, in Indonesia. I always had a desire to go back to California one day for pursuing higher education and career. Before entering 9th grade, I asked if I could move to an English speaking school to help me improve my English skill and there was a perfect British education system in my city for me. My first year, my grades were not good because I was in the process of getting used to the new systems; however, I was determined and fast learner. I remember staying after school and having extra sessions with the teacher to catch up with all my studies. By my 10th grade, my grades were starting to show some improvements. Finally I had the confident in pursuing my dream; deciding to move to Stevenson school from 11th grade. Once again, a new transition to an American system school was a struggle, but I was able to improve my grades and receive an honor roll within a year. Therefore, I believe that my 9th grade grades are not unable to represent my full academic abilities as it took some time to adapt to the new educational systems. Also, the school I attended for my first two years of high school was an education system for the Singapore-Cambridge IGCSE "O" level examination. All my grades recorded was purely based on the grade I received from my mock IGCSE examinations I took in the end of every term.
