Throughout my life, I have encountered numerous challenges and obstacles that have required me to stay positive and motivated in order to overcome them. One particularly challenging period occurred during my high school years, specifically my Junior year. This year was crucial for improving grades and GPA before entering senior year and preparing for college. Despite taking honors classes throughout high school, I underestimated the difficulty of this specific year. Initially, my goal was just to pass rather than excel. However, I soon realized that this approach could have negative consequences for my senior year and jeopardize my chances of getting into college.
To conquer this hurdle, sacrifices had to be made in terms of leisure time with friends so that I could prioritize studying and focus on improving areas where I struggled. Through this process, I acquired various skills and techniques essential for maintaining motivation and conquering challenges. By breaking tasks into smaller parts and relying on self-motivation, a better perspective was gained which ultimately helped me overcome the obstacle at hand.
Implementing my plan resulted in immediate improvements in both my classes and grades, providing an incredible sense of accomplishment.By the end of junior year, I ranked within the top 13 percent of my class, fully prepared for college as I entered senior year.I was able to pass honors and college courses, receive acceptance letters from colleges, and achieve my goal. This taught me that with motivation and effort, any difficult situation can be overcome. In life, we all face challenging problems but finding sources of motivation can make facing these obstacles easier. High school was especially demanding as I took on honors and college classes with their own challenges. However, I developed the skills needed to overcome these obstacles throughout it all.
