:) My Strive To Continue On:)

So far we are coming close to the end of this semester. I feel like at the beginning of the semester, I set myself with standards that I felt I could achieve. I felt that I was doing well for a while and I continued to stay on track and keep my grades up. I ended up getting sick, and was hospitalized for a week, missing an entire week of school. I wasn’t able to do any homework or class work and had talked to my teachers and they all were going to let me make up any missing work for that week. Once I got back to school it was horrible, missing one week of college felt as if I missed an entire month and I felt that there was no way I could catch up on my work. I tried my best to but ever since then I began to slack off, becoming further and further back in work. Currently I am trying my hardest to get back on track and raise all of my grades because I do not want to have to retake any classes, nor do I want to have any bad grades because Universities will not look at bad grades. I am hoping that with the eight weeks or so of school left, that there will be enough time to stay on track and improve my grades to where I’d like them. I continue to keep a positive attitude, always have, and always will, because that seems to always help me keep pushing and going on no matter the situation!! J My motto is: Don’t forget to SMILE!!
