According to Lucinda Basset “You have to do what you love to do, not get stuck in that comfort zone of a regular job. Life is not a dress rehearsal. This is it.” So as I went on through high school the most important things i have learned is how to read and write better (almost like an author) as my English teacher, Mr. Ruoff, is an amazing teacher and knows what he's doing, He teaches us to be better at writing assessments and important things we will use in college as we graduate. Another thing i learned in life is that you should dream big and go for it, get good grades, make it to 12th grade, and graduate and if you really want to become something good you should go to college and study as much as needed because when you finally reach that goal you have been trying to reach for so long nothing can stop you from getting what you want in life. I have finally reached 12th grade and I’m going to graduate. I also got accepted into Scarlet Oaks for next year. Everything is going great and as it should because I never gave up on my dreams and I never will, there may be a few times when you feel like giving up but you have to think about why you have come so far …show more content…

The importance in what i am telling you is basically how to get through life the best that you can and make it out to be better for you as well. Learn how to get through tough decisions and many struggles you will go through in life,because there are much more complications to come no matter

    To my great fortune, I've had many people help me along the way who didn't have to and who stood nothing to gain by helping me.

These people helped me for no reason other than the mere fact that I am a human being, worthy of help when in need. Although I didn't have faith, they gave me hope.

    Honestly if I was to go back in time I’d change all of my mistakes and make the right decisions which are to block out the people that accounted for my failure.

In order to be successful you need to learn who to associate yourself with so you can mainly focus on the goals you want to archive to make you better mentally and physically. Having a better mindset is good for obtaining success because you will be able to think more positively about what you need to do.

    School is only for the open minded and strong, the weak cannot survive. You may have learned about math, science, social studies, and language arts but only a handful of students actually learn lifelong lessons to be in a productive society. School holds many things in its classrooms and hallways. Having great teachers and mentors will benefit you in school. Their wisdom and knowledge will contribute to you in ways unimaginable. School can teach you plenty and these are a couple of the many of things I have learned over the 3 years I have attended Eagles Landing Middle School. To begin, I was always a spoiled rotten "know it all" and none of my teachers could tell me I was wrong without me having to be disrespectful and malcontent. I was constantly sent to the principal office and I.S.S with Ms.Temple. Talking was one of the most terrible things I did. I would take all day long so I could be seen as a rebel, cool, and a leader.
