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.
