Excelling Academic Excellence: The Challenge Of Excellence In Academics

Excelling in an activity can be a difficult process. However, the challenge of excellence is undertaken when a clear objective is set. I decided to pursue academic excellence because of the rewards that it brings.

I have always tried to do my best in academics. For as long as I can remember with the exception of two years, I have always tried to excel in all of my classes. There are several reasons for me wanting to get good grades in my classes.

First of all, since I was young, my parents have always talked to me about the importance of education. My parents would always tell me that receiving an education is one of the best and secure ways of sustaining yourself and a family, if needed. My parents stressed the importance of education and

However, this event did not stop me from striving for excellence in my classes. Instead, I stopped reaching for awards such as certificates and stickers, and I realized that in order to get good grades, I had to pay attention in class and learn.
