Replying to Kids go to high school and work hard!
"I'm from Minnesota"
Since my 10th grade i've wanted to go to the university of utah. They have one of the nicest schools around and I wanted to go out there with my best friend zak and bassicly ski alot and live my dream. my 9th and 10th grade year i didn't try that hard in school, consequently i had a super low GPA going into 11th grade "2.4" Something clicked in my head and it said... "shit you're not going to college if you don't get it in gear" so for my 11th grade year i ran a 3.5 or better GPA. But it wasent good enough for the u of u, because all that hard work and studying still only brought me up to a measly 2.627.
since I wasent trying that hard my first 2 years in high school i didnt really learn all much either... wich in turn didnt help my ACT score.
"might sound overconfident to say this but..."
I'm a really smart kid anyone who talks to me asumes that i'm in honor classes, and people will often come to me for advice. And i didnt just sit around high school either. I'm involved with many student organizations and clubs "youth in government" "choir" "soicity of political debate" all kids of nerd things i was also All confrence choir. But all of this couldn't overcome the fact that I didn't try verry hard my first 2 years in high school.
So please anyone who is just starting high school or who is slacking, please try hard because one day it will bite you in the ass!
And if anyone says.........."the u of u is way easy to get in to"......... "yeah it is, and i should have easly gotten in so i dont want to hear it"
