My life hasn't been all rainbows and sunshine, I've fought and fought my way to where I am now. It wasn't the ideal situation I wanted to be in, but in the end it just proves that the bigger the fight, the better outcome will come. It all started at the end of 2014, where my struggle really began and when I overcame it. “It's finally time to graduate,” I thought to myself while in math class, while I was in my own little world while the teacher was talking about final and graduation lines. But as uninterested as I was, I began to delve deeper into my thoughts, nervously, I began to worry about my GOALS in math since I had failed that part of the test last year. With just one test my entire high school career would be a flop, I have to pass every class with at least a D or better to excuse that. I breathed a sigh of relief, trying to avoid getting too deep into the thought of not graduating, thinking that I had everything planned out and relieved some of the stress and anxiety. “Here,” interrupted in my thoughts, I saw my classmate handing back the final paper, it took me a minute to respond when I finally said “thank you” with a smile, taking the paper and placing it on my cold desk.Walking to the guidance counselor with a million thoughts in his head it wasn't exactly the feeling I was hoping for, the hallways were empty, everyone was in class, and it was quiet and peaceful. The door creaked as I opened the office door, signed, and waited to be called by the guidance counselor; I started looking around trying to calm my racing mind and relax my nerves. Seconds turn into minutes and minutes turn into a great deal of anxiety, “God, what's taking this lady so long, I know she's doing nothing… middle of paper… d to go to New "Jersey, I think it's better for now." I looked at her, her bright blue eyes, and her worried look on her face, she was worried and sad, I got angry and said “enough, we'll find something and I don't even want to go to Jersey”. The next two months turned into the best months ever, we found an ideal apartment called Cimarron, and it had the best ratings out of anyone we had seen. More good news, my advisor even called and said I could graduate! Also, as a bonus, I got called for a job at UPS. It all came together with patience and hard work, I was so close to giving up and calling it a day, but with everything now coming together and falling into place it really pushed me to do other things in life now, like go to college. As a person, I have improved myself and exceeded expectations, which is all I ever wanted.
