I look back to when I was in the 8th grade, had below average grades, never talked to anyone, never thought I would get into college, had no friends, no talents, and felt like I was a complete screw up at life, was horrible at everything, was very depressed, and considered suicide, and I realize how far I have come in the past 5 years. Freshman year of high school came, and while my grades will still average, I found my hidden talent, basketball, I became one of the best basketball players on the team, and made friends with some seniors, then came sophomore year with the same, and then junior year where I achieved all my goals, I got the personal records that I wanted, the SAT score I had dreamed of, and my GPA up to a 3.7, and was recruited by many college teams. Then senior year, where I got accepted into almost every school I applied to with many scholarships, and even increased my GPA. Even then I still found one problem, I didn't know many people a my school, and only had a few good friends, not as many as I wanted. I have now spent a semester at college, and I have talked to so many different people on campus, and made so many friends that I have so much in common with. I haven't really told anyone all this, and I don't want to brag or anything at all, I just realized how much I have changed and how I no longer feel like a life disaster. I worked incredibly hard to achieve so many of my goals, and I no longer hate myself, and I am so happy I didn't attempt suicide in the 8th grade. I just feel better about myself now Now onto the next mission, to hopefully achieve the quest of the many more things I still want to be perfect and the many more things I want to achieve in my lifetime. Its far from done yet..
