Today while we were calculating our GPA's, and i could at the very least say i was shocked and horrified. at 2.96, i knew something had to be done. after Looking through my binder to see if i had forgotten to turn in homework, i found that it wasn't that i wasn't turning in homework, i was doing it but i was just not turning it in, or not quite finishing it. At this moment, i'm working on both of those. at the same time, i felt a bit of excitement, because i felt like now there was a goal in school i was working towards, i mean, i have always liked school, but now i feel like there's a goal, or more like a high-score to work towards.
last year, at my middle school for the last month of school, we worked on a college project, where we used Collegeboard.com, so i was familiar with how to use the database. I learned more about specific schools that might be a good fit for me, and came up with UC Berkeley, UC Santa Barbara, and NYU. The two UC schools i was looking at had high percentages of students who went into science, or biology fields, which biochemistry would be under, which is a study that i am interested in. the third school, NYU is famous for it's performing arts school, and dance choreography is something that is interesting and exciting to me.
For me, the next step is to just work on my grades as much as i can. i'm going to go into the office hours, even if it kind of conflicts of with my carpool plan, i need to get my B's to A's, and A's to A+'s.. I will work as hard and as diligently as i can for the next 4 years, and remember my favorite quote from Mexican white boy, as stated by senior: "You can't fuel a rocket with the same juice you fill a lawnmower with, so you gotta figure out what you is; a rocket, or a lawnmower."
