Change Is Possible

I don’t know about everyone else but when I got my APA grades I wanted to cry I had 2 D’s !!
No let me repeat that so I’m sure that yall heard me TWO D’s. I was devastated I mean I have a 3.0 and I don’t want to lose it becaue so much is riding on it grants, internships, and going Greek ! I just can’t have anything below I 3.0 and my French class was kicking my ass! Literally I mean I had a D in there ant hings where just not getting better. So I knew what ever I was doing was not good enough and that something had to change for me to see a change in my product. So what I did was made flash cards , did my workbook pages early and reviewed like crazy. And my result is I have a 78 in my French class now and all I had to do was give it a little more effort. Because at first I didn’t think that I was going to be able to finish the school year out and pass the class. It was so difficult and I failed every quiz I was beginning to feel hopeless but I knew I had to snapp out of it. Because I’m smarter than that and I can do it with the encouragement of my family and friends. I looked deep within myself and found the drive to get up off my ass and give the class effort.

Now to get down to my other D in English I mean how hard is it to write I paper right? Wrong I think I have like one of the hardest graders for a teacher. But that’s not a bad thing I think it just pushes me to write better so that I can get a better grade. I had to restart my paper 3 times!! Because I didn’t not understand the assignment and I hated that so what I did was study more read into the assignment more. Then I began to write my paper over and I think honestly this is one of the best papers I have ever written. I got my paper proofread by three different people and I went to ucla for writing assistance. So I know this time I cannot get a D on my packet. Because I put so much work into it I stayed up all night making corrections revising basically doing anything I could to make my paper the best it could possibly be. I’m praying for a B!!
