lesson

I am a younger sibling my sister who is a senior this year had always been my age once, so I learned most of my lessons from her triumphs and failures. But one lesson was important enough that I learn it from her and have my mother tell me it multiple times. When my sister was a freshman and going into her sophomore year she got good grades but not quite what my family wanted, and the reason was because she didn't turn some things in. But she got over it, last year, her junior year; she had a 4.0 for both semesters. So the lesson my mother told me was, "Don't wait to be serious in school, because it might come back to haunt you." it hasn't come back to haunt my sister yet but she worries about it sometimes.

Until recently I didn't really take school all that seriously. I went to Lincoln which doesn't help, but my attitude was very similar to this years so far, I would generally get good grades on the stuff I would turn in but I would not turn some things in. now I’m realizing that in my weaknesses, such as this class it isn't just good enough to turn things in. You have to have put some time and effort in to it. And also I’ve learned that extra credit is your friend, always do it.
