Junior Year Accomplishments

When looking overall at Junior year, you view your grades and consider how you probably had a lot of pressure on you and your classes were harder than you expected going into it. My Junior year revolved around those ideas while taking a turning spin when my cousin passed away. Losing him was like losing the other half of not only myself, but my family. After the accident, we realized that he was our backbone. Focusing throughout school while the memories of that day streaming through my mind were never untroubled when trying to get through junior year. So yes, I had a fall out, but learning how to push through and keep your head high is what got me to raise it all up and continue trying. The feeling of walking through Illinois State University was a strong connection of feeling like a second home for the next four years. It’s that type of feeling

I’ve had relatives who have attended Illinois State University, and seeing how far they have come from what they had studied in college, that’s something I would truly like to achieve. Just to be able to say I made it through all four years of college and now on to bigger and brighter things for my future. My strengths for my academic performances is being able to keep up with my work so I’m never leaning towards the path of falling back and getting stressed over trying to get back up to the top. I’m also extremely organized which helps getting my thoughts and ideas together to know what I should be focusing on and how much time to push onto it. My academic weaknesses for my performances would be trying to get up to expectations that I should be achieving. Entering Junior year, you are told that it will be the hardest and paramount year of your high school
