During the past years I haven’t been focusing on my Homework and school. But I also have been determined to do better at the end of the school year. In every thing I usually do better at the end, even in sports, all I need is a person to encourage me and not pressure me. In football practice I used to be lazy and not in the mood of playing, but one day they chose the first team to go to a major tournament and I wasn’t in it. After that I started becoming into football and I went to every practice and worked my hardest, the good thing is that it was only the beginning of the year and I had a lot of time to improve.
I tried to do anything to get my self on the first team. During the end of the year there was a very major tournament in Sweden this was when they select the major team. I checked my e-mail and my name was on the list I was very happy I guess working hard is worth it. The bad thing was I couldn’t go to that tournament, but the good thing is that I knew I was determined and selected for the first team. This was only football. In school, it was the day when we receive our report cards for the second Trimester. I looked at my grades carefully and saw that I had worse grades than the first Trimester even PE.
I talked with my dad about my grades and I really wanted to improve, my dad encouraged me to do better he told me he would give me a good thing and he told me to choose what I wanted. When he sees that I’m determined to do better and when I start focusing he would start thinking of me as a man. I wanted to achieve my goal and choose something to get from my dad. I started focusing I started off with B’s and two C’s. My dad said he would only allow one C and the rest B or higher. Even though it was a little late in the Trimester I wanted to improve and achieve my new goal, since it was the end of the school year I didn’t have much time to achieve my second goal, which was to get only one C, and the rest higher, as Barack Obama said, “impossible is nothing”. It was very hard since it was the last week of school I was already on vacation mode, which was a problem for me, it takes me a while to switch from vacation mode to serious mode. I asked my dad if he can accept two C’s but even if I did get two C’s I think my dad wouldn’t be so mad at me because I had at least four C’s and from no D’s and two C’s that would be an achievement. All my hard work was a bit of practice for eighth grade, which I heard, is a very tough year. I believe in determination and I think every body should be determined to do there hardest and achieve something I did achieve my football goal and most of my school goal.
