Back in first grade I despised going to school. I could never pay attention to the teacher, while they were talking. This went on until 7th grade then I realized that being in school is one of the best things that has happened to me.
So I made a challenge to go to school each day happy and eager to learn.
When I first started this challenge it was really difficult. It wasn't until eighth grade when I could pay attention profoundly, and since then I've been using school to help me learn other necessary traits.

Like leadership there are many times I've been chosen to lead, but one I would like to highlight is getting chosen for seminary counsel on the publicity committee my senior year. I got trusted from my stake president to take this role. With this job that I have I had to make intriguing videos for my peers to watch, I was scared they wouldn't like them. But after me and our team filmed videos no one knew how to edit, so I spent hours learning how to edit videos and make them interesting for my peers to watch. After we showed everyone the video, everyone told me how great it was.
Now that my schooling is coming to an end, my senior year of high school. I've thought about how much school has been beneficial to me, and I don't want it to end.
I got to go to college and finish my schooling, because Im not perfect. But school has already taught. me so much. If I want to be successful in life and provide for a family. I need to go to college. So I can learn more important skills that are just waiting for me to discover.
