My Aha Moment
One aha moment that i had in life is when I realized that i worked hard and stopped slacking to get into normal classes, and made my ADHD not be an obstacle when it comes to school. I used that to give me a drive to get out of the small classes, and now next year I will be in all regular classes. With this part in my life it made me realize how good it is not to slack off and I still do some time but that's pretty common. This ca happens to a lot of people, people who get told that they might not pass and then try harder to go to the next year and that is what happened to me with leaving those classes.
When i found out that i was going to be in different classes next, i was very sad about and mad, I started to think to myself what could I have done to prevent it , for the teachers not to realize that I had ADHD, and let me go on not knowing about it for I wouldn't be different from a lot of the other students. But now I'm glad that happen because then I would be going into middle school being oblivious of what I had and

I started to become a little independent with my work I never wanted to have a partner, or have help from the teacher because I thought it was a pity help. I was always had a thought of ADHD in the back of my head that I have it and it will never go away and how I will never be cool, but now that I think about it I’m glad because with the work I did to leave the classes and how I got independence and the reassurance that I can do things on my own without anyones help which some people need that rely on my friends. To know that I can do things on my own and know I can work out personal issues without getting into someone else's is good for me in later life, in which I got from coming over this

    It was me breaking down at night,I had to decide what path to take. Days and weeks of being questioned what was I going to do or being told what I had to do. I know that what everyone told me wasn't with bad intentions, they wanted the best for me and their mindset only allowed them to have a certain way of thinking what success looked like for me. It was 3:20 a.m., I was able to hear the clock tick. I had decided, a four year college wasn't going to be the path I took right after graduating. I never had bad intentions, I didn't want to let no one down. At one point I was willing to give it all up for them but I realized I wouldn't be content. I had to do what my heart and gut told me and that was to start of at junior college.…

    As a young child my mom always worried about me because I had no fear. I didn't like being told what to do and I would do my own thing. One of the things that worried her the most was my sense of adventure. I would run around and jump in puddles, climb dirt hills and climb trees. As I get older it becomes more extreme, for instance every year I now go cliff diving. My mom loved when we were outside but my recklessness certainly made it interesting. I have fallen out of quite a few trees in my day but this made me stronger. I am a very independent person. My independence has cause my drive in making my life the way I want. I won't let anyone or anything stand in my way. Hanging upside down from this tree represents my craziness, my adventure, my freedom, and my drive. I am a strong independent person. My independences often comes off as rude but honestly I just don't have time to sugar code things. If I want to get where I want to go in life, I have to work for it. As I’m working my way to the top I will enjoy the good things. I may not vocalize it but I do recognize the…

    Life is comprised of a series of learning profound learning experiences. On that stands out occurred last year in seventh grade. Two friends and I decided we wanted to try something new, to learn how to play basketball! We made that decision mainly because we wanted to do an activity together for the winter term, and seventh graders didn't have the option of doing the winter school play. We were very hesitant; only one of us had any experience playing basketball, and we didn't think it would be very fun to run up and down a court trying to get a ball in a hoop. Still we kept an open mind and began to learn how to play.…

    An experience that makes me proud during my first year of school was failing. It was a wake-up call, a realization that I could overcome a difficult obstacle due to the mistakes I had made. Therefore, I dedicated all my time to make-up all the classes I received low grades in. I pushed myself to persevere and not become a high school drop-out; I refused to be labeled a failure. I worked twice as hard in the classes I had received low grades; so when I was taking them again I would pass with a better grade I would be satisfied with. I managed my time efficiently to give myself enough time for each class and receive help when I asked certain teachers who offered tutoring. I took advantage of all extra credit assignments when offered, I believed…

    The proudest moment in my high school career is when I signed myself to take my first AP class. I was really nervous about going to the meeting to sign myself up to get the summer assignment because I felt that I was not ready for the work load, and I would not be able to pass the class. My excuse for not going to the meeting was that I was helping in the cafeteria and I was going to be really late, but when I told my two best friends Jenny and Virginia that I wasn't going to take it anymore. They got so frustrated and annoyed with me because they said I was stupid if I didn’t take AP calculus because that was my favorite subject and I needed a challenge in that class. They also made me remember when I would tell them that Math Analysis was…

    My parents noticed my slow change of personality and eventually sent me to therapy; there I learned different ways to cope with everyday stress that can come from academics along with personal life. I was absorbed every piece of information given to me that allowed me to dismiss insignificant issues and view the overall picture. Therapy lasted for a year until I relapsed and was obligated to return until I desired happiness. Knowing how difficult it can be to admit that I occasionally need help to fortify myself, I ask for help when needed and am no longer afraid to reveal my candid nature to society and its judgements. Soliciting help enables me to take arduous courses along with achieving the grades I desire. Academically, I am in the top 1 percent of my class;…
