High school has to be one of the most challenging obstacles that you&#8217;ll face throughout your teenage years. For me 9th grade biology was the hardest thing ever. I failed the class 4 times and I could never figure out what it was with me and biology. Looking back on it today, I realize exactly what I was doing wrong.<br \/>\nThe first time I took the class I failed because I would never fully comprehend the work and I didn&#8217;t care enough to ask questions. The subject it&#8217;s self was something I was never really good in. The second time I took the class I took it online. I did the work and I had a 79 in the class. When it came time to take the big test everything in my mind went out the window and I ended up failing the entire class.<br \/>\nThe next time around which was my third time I felt discouraged because of the last two times I took it. As a result, I didn&#8217;t even bother to take the class and I failed. I took the class online but I didn&#8217;t discipline myself to actually take the class. I knew that the work had to be submitted before a certain day, but I didn&#8217;t care because I thought I wasn&#8217;t going to pass the class. I was so tired of taking the class that I gave up hope and I didn&#8217;t care anymore.<br \/>\nThe last time I took the class, my mom had to push me to take the class. I finally got it in my head that if I didn&#8217;t take the class seriously that I wouldn&#8217;t graduate. From that point on I started studying day in and day out. I went to class sessions to make sure I understood the work and I spoke with different teachers so they could help me. As a result I ended up passing the class.<br \/>\nThe feeling I had when I found out that I passed the class is indescribable. I was so happy! I regret not passing the 1st time, but I believe that everything happens for a reason. It was truly a lesson learned. I&#8217;ll always keep it in my mind so I&#8217;ll never have to go through that again.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/stold.wpengine.com\/scholarship\/\">Vote For Mikenzi&#8217;s Essay<\/a><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>No one ever likes to reflect back on the negative things that has happened in their life.
