my reflection

When I was in the 8th grade I woke up the day before school started and said to myself I will do better this school year. I will try to get all A's this year I will not fail anything this year. I will try to do better. Then I found myself at graduation with one "A" and I was proud. My plan didn’t work out because I was too lazy to do the work but I wanted to get really good grades. Now I find myself in high School about to pass the 9th grade with honors. When I first started going to Parkway West High School I though that high school would be horrible. I thought that the teachers didn't care and would let you fail and idly stand by. But as I have been here I see that that isn’t the case. I see that they really do care and that has made a change in me to want to do better and try not to be lazy. I really want to understand what I am learning and not just pass and not have earned or learned anything. I see a change in my attitude towards education in its self and the educational system in its entirety. I am more disciplined and have more self control because of this experience and have a more education central look on my future. I have also made more friends that are there to up lift me and help me to get better grades. They have helped me to become a rounded person with better views and a better over all person. I believe that this experience made me grow up and mature and become more like an adult in some ways. I think that this lesson was a good lesson learned and it will stick with me and I will not go back into bad habits. I think that this has opened my eyes to how important not only education is but being and over all good person. I think that I am on my way to being the best person I can be.
