Having a steady stream of income and owning a car gave me way more freedom which made me feel great. All these new changes made me feel like I had my life together, only thing missing was to continue my education and attend college. Fall came around and it was time for classes to commence.

“What are your plans after high school?.”, This is a question that everyone is asked multiple times throughout the course of their lives. Sometimes it is just something that they themselves ponder in their own thoughts.

Although, it was tough for me the way I learned it.

During my time in high school, I often felt bogged down by the required, yet seemingly worthless classes that I had to take in order to graduate. As a result, I began pondering the opportunities which were open to me that could benefit me in ways that high school failed to do. That being said, the summer before my junior year caused me to seriously consider attending the community college near my high school, which I felt was an amazing opportunity to meet new people, and to take classes which would significantly benefit me in the long-run. As a result, I decided to act upon those intentions and enroll in a Statistics course during the fall semester of my junior year. The thought of indulging in an institution that was somewhat foreign to me
It took me a while to understand the importance of grades. When I started high school, I thought it would be a breeze. I was always that kid who skipped homework, but compensated with exceptional quiz and test grades. This worked for middle school, but in high school, homework zeroes snowballed, demolishing my class grades overall. Halfway through sophomore year, my GPA sank to a measly 0.57.
It has been four years since I moved to America, and three years since my graduation from high school. Most of what I have learned came from my time out of high school. While I value my time in high school and still reflect on how quickly I adapted and succeeded, my two years out of high school has taught me how to live life. There is so much more than making friends and building a great GPA. There is the love of helping others, volunteering, working towards something bigger than yourself, and most importantly understanding yourself.

What is your dream job? Do you wish to fly into space to explore the depths of the universe or do surgeries to save lives? Do you wish to be a famous actor in every movie or put out fires when they happen? Everyone in the world has a dream job. As a kid you fantasize about your dream job. As you grow up you must now choose what you want. This was my life as a kid. I love animals and always wanted to work with them. This started out when I was very young. The neighborhood I grew up in had many homeless animals. Ultimately we took in a cat named Benny. Benny seemed liked the smartest animal in the world. He was an outdoor cat but whenever he wanted fed or got to cold he would walk up to our door, stand up on his hind legs and ring the doorbell. He was the second cat we had but he was my closest friend. When he died I became inspired to become a veterinarian to save animals. However, I also had a love for horses. I have been riding since I was in Elementary school. Riding a horse is the closest thing you can get to freedom. Throughout my years of riding I also was inspired to become an equine trainer. By

My success story is what I will like to share with you; how I really made it and how this defines my personality. My journey in High School was scary, exciting, and successful.

Eight years ago I made one of the biggest mistakes of my life by leaving high school. My parents expressed their disappointment about the bad decision that was made.
