Out of School
Finally, I'm out of school. I deserve a break. My grades are not as good as I had hoped. I think I may have got a D in Algebra 2. I missed a day in school, and I missed a test that day. I could have taken it the next day and everything would have been fine, but, as some of you may know, I have a procrastination problem. So, by the time I thought I was ready to take the test the opportunity had passed. However, I was awarded a Certificate of Outstanding Academic Performance for scoring in the top ten percent of students nationally in taking the Iowa Tests, and my area was in mathematics. That has to count for something doesn't it? Along with that award, I also got 3 other certificates, one for doing well in english, one for being a Computer Wiz, and one for being a Financial Wiz. I beleive that makes up for my bad grade. If it doesn't, then it will always be a reminder of my bad habit. I just wish I had some help breaking this habit. I probably could have had A's in all of my classes. I feel proud of myself all the same.
