Being a straight A and B student, failing Spanish not once, but two times definitely made me realize a couple of things: Every subject isn’t for everyone. Not to get so down on myself and except help when it is being given. In highschool some people excel in areas that others might struggle in. this doesn’t mean that we are lacking, it simply means that our talents can be more efficient in other subjects. Like in my case, I do really great in English but when it comes to Spanish, not so much. Because we all have these certain areas we excel at more than others, I learned not to get down on myself so much because as soon as I started doing that it was

    However, the difficulties I was experiencing during my first year of high school made me realize that it was imperative to meticulously scrutinize the way I studied in order to ameliorate and become the student I used to be. Additionally, I became aware that my ability to speak English was affecting me, but later I came to the conclusion that if this was a determining factor in my performance in class, I had to challenge myself by engaging in more rigorous courses. As time went on, however, due to the fact that I was surrounded by students I considered to be far ahead, I felt very intimidated by my advanced classes. Furthermore, I became aware that some of my teachers from the advanced placement classes seemed to doubt my ability to perform at the level expected, just by hearing my accent. To be condemned to failure simply because I did not speak English the same way my fellow classmates did, was a terrible sinking feeling. Nonetheless, this circumstance made me very diligent in all my classes, for it made me very attentive to the topics discussed, and it made me evaluate the extent to which I studied. As a result, with my grades and work ethics throughout the year, I proved those teachers wrong and received an apology from the one I came to admire
