I have always struggled with my grades. It was hard balancing grades and extracurricular activities. Over the past couple of years I have set goals for myself in my classes. I always pushed myself to work my hardest even in classes that I felt I'm not naturally skilled at like math. But for some reason I was compelled to take Pre-Calculus.

    During my junior year I experienced failure. I had taken 3 AP classes and I was in cheer at my high school, and trying to figure out a balance between the two was difficult for me because it seemed like cheer took up a lot of my time and in the past other two years it had, but I had managed to still do well in my honors and AP classes. My junior year was another story, I struggled a lot at the beginning of the school year, and most of first semester was spent with me having an F sometimes more than one, and that was a failure to me because I had my heart set on going to a four college or university and I knew that if i had an F i wouldnt qualify.…
