Dear Diary,
During this year I’ve signed up for classes that I expected myself to exceed in. When the school year first started I felt an overwhelming feeling of confidence but that soon changed as the year progressed and started to become much more difficult than first intended. Slowly week after week I began to fall behind or not comprehend what I’m reading and that confidence I started with soon changed to disappointment. I started to question what other students in the class thought of me when I’d ask a question or my response to when the teacher called me. Self-consciousness began to consume me and my motivation decreased rapidly. Although through this rough patch, I began to stop complaining and instead do something to change it. From spending extra time reading the AP books to staying in class for help i slowly began to pick up the pace. Now I'm able to understand what the lessons are about and am able to teach others.
With all this, the message I’ve learned is that no matter the circumstances i am able to achieve my goals with hard work and dedication.
