Academic Autobiography

Nobody truly supported my academic life past elementary school. My parents would brag about me to their friends about me being in a magnet school when I was in elementary. My elementary school “Wonderland” was in the mountains. When ever I took the school bus up there it would always give me headaches, so I could never fully concentrate on my school work there. So it was then was fourth grade when the teachers told me that I would have to retake fourth grade or go to another school, it was then where my dad decided that I should just go to a public school, which I exelled at. My dad was kind of disappointed in me, so it was then when I promised myself that I would get all A’s in my classes.

I exelled through the rest of my elementary school, but it was my middle school “Pio Pico” that got me down. I was good at 6th grade with all the A’s, but my lowest grade in middle school was a “C” so I wasn’t to disappointed.

I loved how middle school took forever, I remember when me and my friends couldn’t believe that we were actually 8th graders. It felt that middle school took forever compared to high school. Even though I’m not finished with high school, time seems to be flying faster every year. It was also high school where I found a love for science. So then it became my favorite subject. That’s why I joined AP biology in my sophomore year. I got a “B” in that class as my final grade. I feel that I could’ve done better if I actually took it this year as a junior. I was immature and didn’t truly know the meaning of studying. I don’t really regret it because I don’t think I would have time for AP biology this year because all the studying I do for my SAT. Even so I did enjoy all the projects we did together and the bonding time we had for the whole year. We even went to seaworld at the end of the year for all our hard efforts. I don’t expect myself to become a scientist or getting a Nobel prize for achieving something great. I really don’t have any plans for myself in the future, like my occupation or my major. What I do know is that I plan on attending UCLA for my four year college if I do that well on my SAT, I don’t have any plans after that, I hope that I can find a career that I would enjoy through a university.

Myself as a student, I plan to learn new things and try to excel at them and try to use them in everyday life. Right now I’m trying to get a great score on the SAT so I’m studying new vocabulary words every day and trying to expand my limited vocabulary. This year I plan on getting A’s in all my classes and bond with my teachers. I DO prefer English more than math because it just seems more of a relaxing thing writing down without worries, when in math you stress trying to solve a math problem. People say that I would be an anti-asian because I’m better in English than math.

I try not to get engulfed in my school work and try to enjoy my school life as a kid more. I understand that high school I flying by and that I should enjoy it more. I really don’t like studying. I like going out and stuff and other things normal high school kids do. So in the end my goal in life is to live my life without regrets.
