Important Lesson and Greatest Academic Struggle

Important Lesson and Greatest Academic Struggle

# data[].attributes.body
The most important class lesson I’ve learned in high school isn’t academic. It is a lesson on how to make a clear and concise presentation (Ms. Phan's class). This lesson was especially important to me, since I was a soft-spoken person all throughout my school career. I never really learned how to break out of that struggle until that lesson (Don’t get me wrong I’m still pretty shy). I felt that the presentation lesson, however, helped me overcome my shyness just a bit, and primarily serves as the reason why I’m not entirely an introvert. My greatest academic challenge was always writing essays for lit classes. I spend a lot of time writing essays, but somehow never get the grade I want. That struggle, however, changed last year. I didn’t spend too much time writing essays, but somehow still got a grade that I wanted. I can’t figure out a reason for this change to this day. My struggle definitely shaped me into a different person, both in and outside a lit class. I, for starters, learned that no struggle is permanent. We all will struggle with something at one point or another, but that struggle isn’t permanent. I also learned that writing essays don’t always have to boring and can be fun sometimes, especially when writing about topics that I’m passionate about.

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone
What doesn't kill you makes a fighter
Footsteps even lighter
Doesn't mean I'm over cause you're gone

I chose these lyrics, since I see a meaning behind the lines "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger." Although this line encourages hard work, it is much easier said than done. Thus, whenever I feel as if I need motivation, I listen to those lyrics.

I've read a lot of good novels in the past, but since I cannot recall any of them, I will talk about my favorite novel that I have read recently. Mary Shelly's  Frankenstein was by far my favorite book that I have read recently. I liked this particular novel for numerous reason, but especially since the story was written in a way that was suspenseful (not regular suspense, but suspense embedded in a horror movie). The novel's genre was also science fiction, which is something that I'm passionate about (Ender's Game fan). The book also goes into a lot of detail regarding to what extent we should continue advancing science, since the benefits of science also come with costs. These are questions that I think of as well, so reading a novel that went into so much detail and elaborating on the consequences of science was a fantastic read for me.

My greatest fear and hope after high school are the same thing: College. I am afraid of it, since I am aware that going to college far from home comes with a lot of responsibilities, especially responsibilities that I am not ready for. I realize that I won’t have my parents to guide me, and have to learn to make my own choices. Responsibilities aside, I am also afraid of going into a new environment; going into a place where I won’t have many friends, a place which is not familiar. However, as I mentioned before, my hope is also college. I realize how exciting college can be, and am especially eager to make new friends, and learn new things. I realize how fun it can be to live away from my parents (although I’ll probably miss them from time to time), and be free of any parental shackles.
