EHS Choices

Throughout my two years at EHS, i have made a lot of choices that have affected my grades and social life. For example, during my sophomore year I was enrolled in Chemistry I Honors, a very difficult class. Although I was struggling in the beginning of the school year, I did not feel the need to go to tutorials. Most of my classmates attended these tutorials and some even shined in the class. Rather than attend these tutorials, I spent time with my friends throughout the school. Later I met with my teacher about my struggling grade and she recommended me going to tutorial. Despite the fact I did not attend tutorials in the beginning of the year, my grade began to rise and I easily passed the class with a high grade during the second semester. Another example, an upcoming test in one of my classes scared every single one of my classmates. I was sick for that week and expected to receive a few days to prepare when I got back from my break. My thought of what was going to happen was very incorrect. I took the test without a bit of preparation. I should have talked to my teachers about the content of the chapter in order to learn it in my sick days. Instead, I used them to relax. In another instance, with the help of my tutor we went ahead in the chapter. I easily passed the next few quizzes and tests. Not only did I understand the material, but I was also able to help my fellow peers. It is quite obvious what is need to prosper in the tough experiences of high school. Preparation is key in the success of all students. To sit back and relax instead of applying ourself is a mistake and I hope that all of us learn this lesson.
