Recommended: Important of study skills

I think my life really started in my freshman year when I was just a foolish ignorant kid. As an ignorant freshman that thought freshman year would not count into my GPA, I used to get D’s and F’s and not care about classes, not take notes and, not even study for test or quizzes or even homework, consequently, I did really poorly that year and really dropped my gpa to a horrible 2.0. My life changed when I came to Hargrave in my sophomore year. I started actually caring about my classes and do what I am supposed to do as close to perfection as possible.

    ...hool and work and life in general. I did not strive to do my best in high school and especially my dual enrollment classes. I was not ever thinking about my future and started not coming to classes. Once I accepted God in my life Junior Summer, all that changed.

In general my best English experience was reading "MacBeth" by William Shakespeare in Mr. Elwell's class, where I also realized I had many English skills to improve on.
