My second try at Montclair

This year I am technically a Sophomore. If you look at how long I have been in school I should have been graduating this year. When I first got into Montclair I did not know what it was I wanted to do. I stopped going to all my classes, but never dropped them. I failed all of them. I was put on academic probation so i went to Bergen for a year. When I got back into Montclair I had a GPA of 0.87. I spent one whole year retaking everything I failed in the past in order to get a respectable GPA. Now I am here just starting to get into what it is to be a teacher. I am happy with myself and the progress I have made since my first try at Montclair. I still have trouble managing my time sometimes and getting myself motivated to do the work, but I have come a long way from my 0.87 GPA. In a way i am happy that this incedent has happened to me. It has shown that I really can do whatever I want if I put my mind to it. It usually takes a lot for me to put my mind to something, sort of like failing out of school, but at least I know I can do it if I had to. Before this I did not believe in myself so much. It has made me a better person, and a harder worker. I do wish that I was done with school by now like I should have been, but everything happens for a reason so I am ok with where I am at right now.
