College Essay About Life
Throughout my life I have been faced with many obstacles in which, luckily, I have overcome. Unfortunately though, many of those obstacles I created myself. When kids enter high school, they make decisions as freshman that foreshadow the rest of their high school career. Sadly, I picked the wrong path to follow. This choice led me to a long and hard couple years. I was getting in trouble in school, getting in trouble at home, and even getting in trouble with the law. Until one day I was expelled from school. I left my friends, my teachers, my work and I went to a brand new environment. This is when I began to see that I needed to change. In the first couple months of my freshman year I had to deal with the death of my grandmother. We h
We were all standing in the hallway and someone had a lighter. Eventually my behavior started to get so bad that it was causing problems in my home. Because her death was never fully explained to me, I began to drift away from my family. This was one of the first mistakes I made. In order to keep them my friends I felt I had to keep up, which meant partying along with them. I remember when I was little I used to sit on her lap as we played games or read a book. I was the last one to get in and when I was let in I found out all my friends blamed me. The alarms went off and everyone was evacuated. They lit an attendance folder, which was taped to the wall, on fire. The screaming would not stop and with in a couple minutes I would be part of it. With my partying, low grades, and all out disrespect I was driving my parents insane and they were taking it out on each other. So of course, my grades began to fall and I started to become out of control. This is when Ifound out my friends weren't really my friends.
