<p>Well It’s the end of the third quarter and report cards come out on Friday. All the late nights of studying,working hard on projects, doing a significant amount of homework, and just being focused was how I was last quarter. Sleeping late, going early in the morning to get help, especially for math, focusing on the prize,and my goal to get a 4.0. I smelt success in the air, I felt in my bones. There were good days, and bad days, good tests, and bad tests mostly in Math. I put a 110% in every single subject, and I was determined to reach my goal, nothing could stop me, not even math. So focused, so determined, went to school everyday with confidence. Every time I took a math test I was so confident that I was going do well. This was my quarter to shine, I felt I could do it. Before I was like well Its impossible to get a 4.0. I mean Geometry is the hardest subject for me, Math in general is very hard for me, extremely hard. I also didn’t think I could an A in French because my French teacher is really strict, grades really crazy, and is really picky with her students. But it’s the end of the quarter, and as I sit in basement typing this, I feel like I am proud of myself,even though everything backfired on me, and my grades are bad. 
Math- D+
English-B+
French- B
History- A-
Theater- A
Science- B </p>
<p>If I calculate that it’s a 3.2, wow. After everything I have done, all the hard work and dedication. I put like more effort in Math than in any other class, and this is what I end up with. I am not dissapointment in myself, because I know did everything I could to get higher grades. I mean I worked my but off. I should be proud, and I am proud, but there is a part of me that is sad becasue those are not the grades I wanted. I mean all my teachers say I am their best student, and I have excellent work ethic. One teacher even said that she wished her other students were like me. Another teacher said I am every parent’s dream. So all the teachers love(except my math teacher), they are the ones that teach the material to me, but its all down to me in the end.
Alot people on here have read many of my posts, and know my situation. I am not going to give up, I have come too far to give up. I will buy every grammer book, go to every math help, study more efficently, and do my best. But If my best is not good not enough then oh well, grades determine which college will except you. The thing with me is my motivation in school is the little kids in Africa who don’t go to school, and I have a chacne to go to the best school in Ohio, and be the best. I am very happy that I have a chance to learn, many kids don’t have that. People who know me, say that I am one of a kind. The fact is I don’t care what college I go to, as long as I get a good education. I am all about getting a good education. Because Columbia, NYU, Brown, or any other college that I wanted to go cannot stop me from being I want to be. I am the kind person that If someone else gets a good eduacation then I’m happy. Like I have to come to the point that all I am going to do is work hard, before I use to push myself alot, and thats why I sleep like at 1am in the morning. But I have come to realize that all ever wanted was to get an education, and if I don’t get into the colleges that I want to get into because I had a bad freshman Cum, and not a high gpa right now, life goes on. What I put in my brain is an investment. Once I am out there in the real world, I am going to be best of my capability. “If at first you don’t succeed dust yourself off and try again.”-Aaliyah
