During my senior year, I failed to put in the time and effort needed to achieve great results and succeed in some of my classes, not because I was incapable, but because I lacked motivation and had become discouraged by my lack of social interaction and loneliness. Once a week I went to a private science school (chemistry and physics) and excelled, had fun learning and laughing. Socializing outside of my immediate family once a week wasn't enough, I started turning in work late, without the incentive to turn in documents on time. At the end of each semester, I pushed myself to improve my grades, working too hard and doing in three weeks what I could have done in nine. My ability to realize my mistakes and correct them shows my character. I am a student, an apprentice of life and I have a strong desire to understand the world I live in and try to make it better as I can. I dedicate the right amount of time to my studies and actively try to grasp the concepts presented to me, not just pass lessons or tests. I want to reach for the stars and explore new places, both in the physical and mental realms. I am curious, passionately curious, and I pride myself on my ability to learn from my own
