COLLEGE ESSAY
A famous scholar once said that people can always learn from their mistakes. I can relate to this because throughout my life I have made many mistakes. And it is from those mistakes that I have grown from, whether it be academically, emotionally, or socially. And many of these mistakes unfortunately began when I was a freshman in high school. Those mistakes were a foreshadowing of what was to come as i progressed through school. Yet I did not heed the warning signs, resulting in a decrease in my academic and social life.
