Rejection

Being neglected and rejected by people is something I have experienced my entire life. This is the reason why I am so independent and introverted. My whole life people pushed me away and I was ignored by my family and now that I am getting older, by boys that I am interested in as well. When I was younger, it used to really upset me and make me feel like I was worthless and not important, and at times I still feel that way. But now that I am more grown up, I see it as people are loosing out on being close to a great, funny, nice person like myself. In the family and friends situation, it hurts a little more than the boys situation because they are the people that are supposed to be here for me no matter what, but I still try to not let it get to me. I just try to focus on myself more now. 

Spring break

Over this spring break, I plan on spending a lot of time with my father and little sister. We plan on going to Kalahari waterpark, and possibly driving to Michigan and going shopping at the outlet malls out there. This break should be very fun because I love my dad so much and I am the happiest when I'm with my dad. He is my best friend and being around him always puts a big smile on my face. Especially because I never see my dad anymore, spending this week with him and my sister and having a lot of fun swimming and shopping will be perfect. 

Broken promises

A time when someone broke a promise they made me, was when my mom promised me she would never let anything come between our family. She broke this promise by being selfish and thinking about herself, and asking my dad for a divorce. She asked for a divorce, because she said she was tired of being married and she wanted to be "free". She broke not only me and my sisters hearts by doing this, but also my fathers heart. They were together for 17 almost 18 years, and she threw it all away because of her selfishness and immaturity. when she made the decision to divorce my dad, she was only thinking about herself and her personal happiness, she was not thinking about her children and how much our lives would be affected by this change. She broke her life-long promise, and she broke my heart. 

Trust

A time when someone had to beg me to trust them, was in my last relationship. They had to beg for my trust, because in all the relationships I have been in so far, everything was based off of lies. They always lied to me and cheated, so now it is very hard for me to trust people. Every time I start to trust a person, the person does something to break that trust by either lying to me, or spreading my business. So, not only did he beg for my trust but not even 7 months later he broke that trust by lying to me about multiple things and cheated on me with multiple other girls. Now it is even harder for me to trust people, especially males. 

Essay paragraph body paragraph #1

At the beggining of my sophomore year, I was not very confident in myself, nor was I motivated when it came to school. I have always struggled with math and science, and those were my two biggest road blocks in school. No matter how hard I would study for my tests and quizzes for those classes, I always had trouble passing them. I would get so upset every time I recieved the results from my tests and quizzes because I worked so hard only to fail. At times, I even wanted to drop out of Early College because I felt i did fit the role of an Early College student. Until one day, my true intelligence was revealed to me when I received an A on my math test. I was so happy about getting an A on my test, but that A was only the beginning of me getting though my academic struggles. 

OGT PREP

The subject that will challenege me the most during the OGT's is Mathematics. Mathematics is the most challenging subject for me, because I was never good at math, even in elementary. Even simple arethmitic used to be a struggle for me. So in order to pass and accel in the mathematics area of the OGT's, I will have to take at least 5 practice tests every week. This will help me immensely because the practice tests have many similar questions that will be on the OGT this year. I will take the extra step by taking the practice tests, because I really need to pass and accel on these OGT's in order to graduate, and to possibly get noticed by other colleges for my outstanding test scores. This will be good for my future and head me in the right direction. It may seem like passing just one simple test, but honestly passing that test will not only be good for educational reasons, but also for self esteem related reasons. I will feel really good about myself if I do exceptionally on my worst subject on the OGT's.
