As a Freshman in high school through my junior year, I was able to breeze through each day without having to worry much about studying for exams and such. However, as I entered my senior year, I was very lackadaisical; In other words, I had senioritis. I was constantly not doing my homework, missing out on class just because I didn’t feel like attending that class, not paying attention and just goofing off. Since I didn’t take my classes seriously, was I received my first report card I realized that if I continued to do what I was doing, I would not be able to graduate. Even with this in mind, I continued to slack off and as a result, I was put on academic probation. (Just a really fancy term for the list of seniors that were in risk of not graduating). Towards the last semester as a senior, my counselor and I had a meeting in order to warn me that I would not graduate and would not be able to go to college if I continued with this behavior. After that wake up call, I decided that it was time for me to take my education seriously. From that moment on, I began to prioritize what needed to be done first, first. After this experience, I learned that I could not afford to slack off in college like I did in high school.
