Sophomore Blues

     Sophomore year has been stressful so far. My sophomore year has had many struggles, aspirations,and accomplishments. So far my sophomore year had too many  struggles. “Through our struggles come desperation for a better result.” ( Bryan A. Taborn 2014)

     My struggles consists of concerns about low grades, OGTs, and test scores. I also have struggles in language.  I feel bombarded with assignments and being disoriented with the preparation for tests. Lessons about the OGTs and tests started to become harder and also easier at the same time. I was becoming confused most of the time because I was doubting myself about my knowledge of the subject. I felt like my remembrance of what I learned were fading away. Then I decided to set aspirations for myself and for my friends.

     The feeling of desperation soon hit me when I decided to set aspirations. I set aspirations of improving my grades, test scores, and OGT scores. I began to want better grades more often. I started to need better scores on tests and OGTs. I finally asked friends to help me get better with equivalent exchange on what ever they needed help on that I was able to do. I realized what would happen if I failed to complete these simplistic tasks. I realized I would be a laughing stock and be critisized by everyone for my failure and possibly taken off of earliy collegde. I started to understand my situation. I began my quest of improvement.

     As my aspirations would be in my reach, I would make my aspirations higher and higher. As my aspirations were raised so do my knowledge and understanding of what I was learning. I was learning better than before because I was asking more questions about any misleading thoughts I had.  I began think positively instead of negatively. I accomplished many subliminal goals. These subliminal goals consist on improvements upon grades, test scores, and OGT scores. These events happened because of people I love that I need to prove myslef to and my realization of the situation. Music , family, and friends supports me through these endeavors of mine.

     Sophomore year stressed me out academically by adding onto my struggles, challenging my aspirations, and doubting if my achievements were significant. Sophomore year has opened my eyes that I have a long journey ahead of me still to come.
