                                                          Community College

      Here I am, a senior. After four years of high school, I have learned a lot of lessons.

Some were good and valuable. And I have also learned others just from growing up and

being around other teenagers.

      I started senior year with a 1.5 GPA (＝grade point average平均分,相当于65%),

which is not even close to what I am capable of. The last three years I fooled_around and

cut lots of classes. Now, I can easily say that it is the only thing in life that I regret. Next year

I will watch most of my friends go to college while I lost that chance. This does not mean that

I am giving up on my dreams, but when I started high school, my goal was to get great grades

and go to a competitive college.

      At first I blamed the people around me for my bad experiences, but I've learned that it's my

fault when bad things happen. In the last three years I realized that I am the only one in control

of myself. While making my teachers and my peers the excuse for not wanting to go to class, I

developed a huge lying problem.

      If I could start over, I would in a heartbeat, but I can't, so instead of beating myself up, I try

talking to younger teenagers about the importance of doing well in school by explaining the situation

I got myself into. Community college looks like a great opportunity. I am looking forward to taking

many credits and receiving good grades. I see community college as a year to turn my life around.

It's my ticket out of here to wherever I want to go. I have another chance to make my future and

I've promised myself I won't mess up.

      We need to study history so we won't repeat our past; I've studied my personal history, and

will avoid my mistakes in the future. I am ready for the next task in life, the only question is, is it

ready for me?
