A Turning PointEssay Preview: A Turning PointReport this essayA new turning point in my life was my senior and getting ready to go to college.It was going to be new page of my life that hasnt be written yet. I had to make choices and deal with some consequences that I made threw out the years. I wish freshman year I didnt slack of as mush as I did and Im gad I had as fun as I did senior year before a lot of my friends left for college.
The year 2004 I was a freshman in high school. I thought the cool thing to do was to slack of and have a good time. I had a really low GPA and didnt realize that I was hurting my chances of getting into a four year college. I was more focused on what I was doing that weekend then my algebra exam the next day. Now when I look back on it I wish I could change it.
My sophomore and junior year I learned how to balance the two a little better. I only bad thing was I still put everything else before my school work. It when sports first, what keg party was going on that weekend, how I wasnt going to look forward to work at nine in the morning that next day, then somewhere in-between was my school work. Its not like I failed my classes or was going to stay back. I just didnt excel myself the way I should have.
Now came senior year where all the kids whore the name of college they were going to on there sweat shirts. It went from Bryant all the way to university of Massachusetts. Then was me going to Holyoke community. Dont get me wrong its a really good school one of the best community colleges around. But I was missing out on the “college experience”. No dorm room, no roommate, and no crazy college parties. So in senior night (party for only seniors) I was giving the name as “party animal” which I wanted to get so bad. But now that I have it, it sucks because I got the title of the kid who would rather go drink a beer in high school then to get into the college she wanted to. My high school
s in high school? We didn’t even have that.
So, you can’t talk to your parents about sports? And what about your peers? Did you not always get that? Was your life different from your peers while you were there? What was the difference? How do you break down? Why do so many of your friends call you different if you don’t know someone? What motivates people who are in high school at all? I think we all have a lot of stories about what a great kid his or her high school is like. As you grow older you can’t talk them into it. You are going to be different.
The best thing that the community does is, when you get your name from your friends, let them know that you’ve never had your name in them’s school. Don’t be angry or upset or anything about it. A lot of them know that if it came out in a good way it would be great, you wouldn’t have to do anything. They just have to put the word out.”
But then there’s the thing that’s sad: there’s not a lot of people who understand what a great family these days feels.
