Personal Narrative Analysis

Running away from any problem only increases the distance from the solution. That quote helped me a lot and motivated me to be stronger. It showed me that I need to face my challenges.
All my life, school wasn’t my thing, I was always hanging out with my friends and tried to have fun without worrying about school. I never liked it and every time i stepped into school I wanted to be home already. During my sophomore year I didn’t care about school and failed two of my classes. It continued through almost all of my Junior year. I remember when grades were due for the first half of the semester, I was concerned about them, but did not do anything about it. My friends knew that i was not doing good at school.
One of my friends

was concerned about my grades and tried to help me and motivate me to try my hardest at school. She constantly reminded me to do my homework and listen in class. Shortly after, I stopped hanging out with my friends and started to focus on school. I was spending most of my time coming in at intervention and getting help from my teachers. Sometimes i stayed after school to make sure i was on track. No matter how late i would have to stay up, I always made sure my homework was done. Once the semester ended I noticed that my grades went up, even my counselor told me that I improved a lot. This challenge was really important to me, because it helped me realize that school is important and it determines my future. I started to look at jobs I was interested in, and it helped me pick my major. This challenge put my life into place and made me manage my time wisely.
Running away from a challenge is pointless, that is what i learned from my experience. I overcame this challenge by never giving up, no matter how hard or stressful it was. It made me a different person, because i became responsible and organized.
