Overcoming academic challenge by Braelyn

Overcoming academic challenge by Braelyn - December 2024 Scholarship Essay

A time in my academic life when I thought that I was struggling was last year when I had multiple classes that I thought I was struggling with. It wasn’t that everything in those classes was hard, it just seemed like it was a lot to handle and at the time it seemed like I couldn’t keep up with all of it. In the beginning I really just felt like giving up on all of it and not try on anything, but then I took all of my free time in working and studying on the harder subjects that I didn’t understand as much as others, made a list of what needed to get done first versus what could wait a little longer, and what was easier and harder. After about a week of doing this I started to see a difference in my performance, everything was getting done a lot quicker and I found myself not stressing as much and doing a lot better on all my assignments and my tests. Once I got that mindset to get all my work done quicker and try harder, I kept that same mindset for the rest of the year and continued to do well in all of my classes.
