My autobiographical incident is about the time I finally picked up the slack in my schooling and how it helped me to be a better student. Do you know how hard it is to play catch up after you slacked in school for so many years? Extremely and thats why, I really find my topic significant because it is very hard to try and maintain perfect or near perfect grades I may still struggle now but Im getting better at it as I put up effort and try the hardest I can.
I believe that the problem started because I was always off task even when I was in elementary school. I always had the tendency to stay of task; I talked way to much which always got me in trouble, and if that wasnt enough I never got my work done. Every time I had a conference the teachers always said I talked way to much and never got my work done but, they also said that I had the brains to do the work because, anytime they took a student one by one for little test I would always get a good report and I just wasnt pushing myself to get the real work done. My parents were upset at the fact that I wasnt even trying and I would always get “the talk” after every conference. Seeing the situation I was always in people would start to think ” Im tired of having this same conversation every time I have a conference” But not me; at least I acted that way because it never stopped. I still had bad grades and I still wasnt pushing myself to make me, my teachers, or even my parents happy, and here I was in middle school doing the very same thing. My grades were ok within the first semester but I started slacking again
So they put me in home school! at first I thought was a punishment; so what I did to try and convince them that I needed to at public school. I started slacking thinking they would put me back in. I was more than wrong, I really didnt understand why they had put me in home school in the first place until me my mom and dad had a little talk. They told me it was no use in me trying to get bad grades on purpose they also explained to me that, not only was it my fault I was in home school they were doing this because they loved and cared about me and wanted me to get good grades so I can be the best that I can be. Although we still had a few problems, I started to get my act together but very slowly, and here in the eighth grade trying to keep my grades up so I can finally make my parents proud of me and me proud of myself.
Now Im 15 in the tenth grade doing even better than I used to yes I will admit my grades arent always good, but I always try to do what I need to do to keep them up so not only do I keep my parents proud I keep myself proud my teachers proud and when I will be able to return to public school so I can experience so much like school dances and even prom, and when I graduate high school I will get into a good college and get the job I want and be as successful as me and my parents want me to be. I see what its like to not have an education and trying to survive the world. I also see it is not easy to get a job either even when you have a college degree I know Im going to have struggles in my life as the years go by but its up to me to try and fix them. that just makes me push harder to get to where I want to be in life.
