The Ups and Downs of My Educational Roller Coaster

     My best educational experience was in college. My freshman year I was a slacker, simply not doing well in school. I failed a class and did mediocre in the rest. When I told my mom the news, the look on her face broke my heart. When next semester came, I studied my butt off and learned to balance social life, softball, and academics. I ended up earning a 4.0 my fall semester and I’ve never felt so accomplished and proud when I told my mom the news and her face told me she felt the same way.

     My worst educational experience happened in high school. I was taking an AP Biology class and we had to do an oral presentation on the prehistoric ages. I HATE speaking in front of people, let alone seniors when I was only a junior. I remember getting in front of the class, feeling my face get bright red, becoming really hot, starting to get very sweaty and short of breath…I had my first anxiety attack. I needed to leave the room mid-presentation, only to come back to get points off my grade for refusing to finish.
