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.  

A privilege

A privilege I have daily is my phone. It is a privilege  because not all kids my age have phones. They are very expensive, and the monthly bill can sometimes be too much to handle for some people. The most beneficial part of having a cellphone, is that I can use my it for the social network, texting, calling, and even for writing this blog on the internet. The way I earned this privilege was by keeping my grades up and by keeping up with my chores. If I do not complete my duties at home or recieve C's or higher in school, the privilege of my phone will be taken away until I raise my grades, or learn my lesson on not cleaning or doing things around the house. 

Something I've never done.

If I could do something I've never done before I would fly down to San Juan, Puerto Rico and live there for a month with my Tia Minnie. I would do this because Puerto Rico seems so beautiful and amazing. I have always wanted to go visit down there with her. I have heard from all of my family members that she is a very good tour guide, and she knows all of the interesting and fun places to go to in San Juan. She would take me to all of the beautiful beaches, all of the amazing restaurants, and all of the huge,gorgeous malls and shopping centers out there. My Tiais a very hip, cool older woman and she knows how to have a good time, and that is another reason I would want to live with her. She is my favorite Tia, and I love her and I really wish I could do all of these activities and live with her for awhile as well. 

Music & technology

    Music and technology are two very important aspects of my life. Music is so important to me because it helps me with my everyday life. When I am doing my homework, I listen to music to help me focus. When I am upset and going through bad situations, I listen to music to help me cope and get me through the bad times. 

     Technology very important to me because it is really the main source of communication in this generation. Things such as cell phones and the internet provide people with a way to communicate with each other without leaving their houses, or sometimes even talking aloud. Also, when people need to get information on a topic, they can google it with the help of the internet.
