Grit

State a strong opinion you have about the state of public education in the Bronx i think that sometimes the public education doesn't think about the harder they make it for high school students the more the numbers of graduates will go down. taking state tests are very stressful and you have to remember about 10 months worth of school information . some kids are great with testing while some other kids are not so does that make there intelligence questionable ? because not everyone can handle sitting in a chair for 3 hours and taking a test that jeopardize there high school career. 



Girt is something that i guess some how everyone has in themselves because its something you can develop within yourself as long as you try and try your best angela duckworth did a well develop research based on this and i highly agree with everything she did . an IQ shouldn't tell the public education if your smarter then someone else by a test it takes more then that i believe , The students who tried hardest did the best, and the students who didn't try very hard didn't do very well angela once said . some students have a better mind set then others but a test shouldn't jeopardize there high school or college experience . each student learns in a different way so why should a judgement of a test make such an impact in a student educational life ? . 

Change one attribute or characteristic

if i was to change one attribute or characteristic about myself what would it be thats a good question. i think i'll change my attitude around and learn not to let things get me mad so fast. learn how to be an understandable person. but then again being nice doesn't always pay off because people use you and stuff. but learning how to be nice to the right people matter not everyone is mean . 

fail

There's a time in our life in which we fail at something i remember when i got the news that i wasn't going to finish high school on time i was highly upset but right there and then i knew i must step my game and look for a new school that will help me finish high school my mother has been my number one supporter through everything she hasn't let me down. in the summer of 2014 i looked for schools to my best of luck i found one i went in and took my paper work and got interview,  for the next couple after my school interview i kept looking for other schools going to summer school in my old school and going to work . one day my mothers cell phone rings and she picks up the school that first interviewed me picked me to start school with them on september . i was happy that i can enjoy the rest of my summer knowing that i got a new school and don't have to worry about it . for the next few weeks i went on vacation get away from all the stress i was going through my goal was to leave my bad high school experience behind september was a new clean slide for me to start fresh get my act together and do my best.
