Senior Year Changes

When I began attending high school freshman year I was confident I would graduate senior year. Slowly my opinion began to change overtime due to the stress of having moved cities. My family decided it was a better decision to enroll to the closest school of our new home. I ended up having to attend a new high school because of the distance. At the time, the stress of having to start all over again in a new high school had become an issue. I wasn't able to excel in most of my classes, so my performance at school began to lack. When senior year came along I knew I wasn't going to be able to graduate in time due to having insufficient credits. That is one memorable experience I can recall having difficulty with. I had set a goal thinking I would
achieve it but slowly began to realize I wasn't. In the end, I enrolled in continuation school and graduated. Now, I can say reaching my goal was difficult but with grit and perseverance I achieved it.

Thinking back at it now I believe Eduardo Briceno's concept of applying a growth mindset would have changed the outcome. My attitude during the beginning of high school was very hopeful and open-minded, but as time passed my attitude had changed so it affected the end results.

Currently my short-term goal is to transfer out of Cypress. Although I believe I have a couple more semester to go I know I can achieve it. The way I will accomplish this goal is by continuing my consistency of attending school. Being persistent and believing in myself is what will be the driving force to my goals.
