Trust me

The only time in my life in which I had to convince someone of something has been me having to convince myself that I am not a lost cause. People make mistakes and I have made my fair share, but that does not mean that I am less of a person. It is a constant battle trying to convince someone that they are not worthless. It is not a quick fix, or an over night event. It takes years and years to restore the amount of confidence that was once there. This is something that I have personally come to face. Everyday I try to convince my self that I am still worth the fight. It takes consistency not to relapse and fall back into old patterns. Somedays are harder than others, but in the end I know that I am worth it. I am quite the persuader.

My High School Battle Battle Field

    It has become apparent throughout my high school years that I struggle with quite a bit academically. Not only have I found it rather difficult to find classes that interest me, but I have also found many classes to be challenging for me. Whether it is not being able to comprehend the material or the pace of the class is far too fast, I have found school to be very demanding. Because I struggle with school so much, I have dedicated most of my academic life to doing better than my best.
