Personal Narrative: The Year I Got Myself

Junior year was the year I got myself together. I realized school is really important, without school you can't do nothing in life. I wasn't focus on girls, how I look, many more stuff that has nothing to do with school. Last year was the time I had to focus on myself and start thinking what i’m going to do after school. Junior year I set many goals for myself, this was the only way I could accomplish things. One of those goals was coming to school on time, cause I have a serious issue not waking up on time. Another goal was getting excellent grades, this was important goal for me, because I never had A’s before or any good grade it was always average grades and I knew i could do better than that. My first time getting merit roll was a big moment for me, because this would motivate me to keep going. Explaining this
However it was this one time my brother and I was going to the hood aka the ghetto, we was just riding around looking for something to do, we got into this little situation with this dude, that owe my brother some money. Moreover the guy didn't want to pay his debt, so my brother and I start beating him up, this was sad and fun at the same time but this was probably one the best days in my life because I was bonding with my brother. My family events is not the same like they used to be, we don't even see each other like the old days but each year we celebrate my grandmother birthday. I never tired to join any after schools activities or sports teams because I don't like people telling me what to do. For my spare time outside of school, I usually work or read this book called ‘’48 Powers Of Law’’ this book teaches me stuff I can benefit from. At the end of my junior year i was scared because I didn't think i was going to make it to the 12th, because I had some classes I needed to take for summer school, but after I talk to my counselor, she told me I was good, i didn't need to go to summer
