Perseverance

Life is not easy for any of us. We must have perseverance and above all confidence in ourselves. In high school you can’t be the person that blends in to the crowd. You have to persevere beyond the others by taking your classes seriously, working hard and longer for your grades, and focusing on the material the teachers teach you. Persevering though the obstacles life throws at you can make you a more successful person.
Most people take classes because they have to or because they want to graduate in white. As an honor student you have extra work which you can run together in a few minutes if you want an average grade, but you can’t get through life if you just throw stuff together at the last minute. You have to persevere above the others and take your time to make sure you tried your hardest to get the best grade you can. Anyone can say they did a project or did the work but you can say that you put your whole brain into the project. While they get average grade you will get a grade that you know you tried your hardest for. For example in most people copy of the smart people that let them, although they may have a good grade they didn’t fully earn that grade. When you graduate you know that you weren’t the one that barley pasted high school, you put your heart and soul into your hard work that paid off.
As an honor student you must work harder and longer for your grades. You must pass all the work your teacher puts on your desk or on the board. You can complete it without learning the full material, but if you don’t learn it then later in life when you need it you’ll have to learn it when you should have known it in the first place. If you miss class you must stay after or make it up during your lunch, you can’t just leave it a zero nor have it exempt because that is failure. You can’t stand out a school of thousands by failing because of one mistake. Most people don’t consider one grade a difference but you’re in honors so you have to do all you can do to make it your best.
When you walk into a class the first day you can tell a lot by why the teacher’s desk is arranged and how dominant the teacher is on enforcing the rules. Students tend to copy or cheat of kids that know more than they do. They stay on their phones all period and then when the teacher asks for them to do the work they have to ask the teacher how to do the work because they weren’t listening. While the other students that focus on the material and learned it the first time won’t need special attention because they already know it. At the end of every semester we have to take end of course exams which are graded by the state. The kids that didn’t listen to all the material the teacher was teaching won’t do as good as the students that went beyond the average high school student and make an average grade.
You can’t blend into the crowd while you’re in high school or in any school. You must persevere even if life isn’t easy. You must have confidence in yourself in order to be above all the others. You must work harder and longer for your grades, take all classes seriously, and fully learn the material to be better in life. Once you persevere though all your obstacles you can become successful.
