The reason my academics aren’t going well as you or I would like is because of the several family issues I’ve had to face during my high school career. It began my Sophomore year‚ I found out my mom needed surgery in her arm so the chances of her cancer spreading would be reduced. I was under a great deal of stress worrying about my mother‚ taking care of my four siblings making sure they knew everything was going to be okay‚ even though I wasn’t sure myself. It was all up to me; while my other brother

When I was about to enter middle school I wanted to do something no one in my family did. So I did band because no one did it‚ I was so scared because I didn’t know if I was gonna like it. Plus I didn’t know what instrument I would get and if I could play it. So I started questioning everything and I got more scared and started to panic. During the first day of school I couldn’t stop panicking until it was time to go to band. When I was going I started wishing something could happen so I wouldn’t

constructive criticism that I had received was from my grade 8 teacher. As a young child‚ I was always extremely cautious about what I do and say.

This was one of my flaws because I liked to be comfortable‚ I liked being in the known‚ and I definitely did not like the possibility of failure. Often times‚ my flaws limit my ability to take new opportunities where I can gain experience. My teacher’s advice gave me a push towards trying

of A Gathering of Old Men is very reminiscent of the technique of William Faulkner‚ a famous Southern writer‚ which tells the story from one character’s perspective for a chapter.
