Academic abilties

Growing up in school, I was a little rough around the edges being very stubborn, but I was also very intelligent. I hid the fact I was very smart because I did not want to be bugged about homework and how to do this stuff for other people. Honestly, I was not truly skilled in all subjects, and sometimes I had a difficult time. Even though I had academic struggles, Those struggles also turned to be my accomplishments, which also turned to be my lifelong academic goals.

     During my younger years, I have always had a terrible problem with my handwriting. I always written sloppy, I did not space my words, and I written in a weird sideways way where you had to turn your head to read. It was bad because since no one could read it, People mistaken it for other words, causing me to lose points. Another problem was procrastinating, because I never decide to work until the last minute. I would always sleep and realize it was due, then always do my work in the morning, so I was not on my A-game. These problems I've had turned to some great achievements also.

    An academic achievement I have is the fanciest writing style. My handwriting improved drastically, so that it is eligible, and fancy at the same time as well. It kind of shows that I have my own writing style, like a font. People can read my handwriting and they also compliment the way I write. My other achievement was that I do not procrastinate as much any more. In Early college, procrastinating can get you into serious trouble, and since I realize that, I try to do my homework early. I still procrastinate a little, but not nearly as much anymore.

    Do I have any goals to achieve? Yes, I want to be known for the greatest handwriting style, EVER. I think it would be a great accomplishment to achieve in my life. I also want to not only stop procrastinating completely, but I want to help people do it too, so they can stop suffering from procrastination. My final goal is to achieve honor roll like I used to every year. Ever since early college, I've had a couple more struggles than I used to have, and it is a bit frustrating, but I know I can do it if I try my hardest.

   If I never had these academic struggles, I most likely would not have achieved what I have, or I would not have made the goals I did.

Bully, Bullying. Whatever you call it, should not exist.

Bullying, verbally or mentally, in person or cyber, is wrong. Why do people do it? Why do people do it? Would they say the same things to people in person? Would I defend somebody if I seen bullying?

Bullies are people who I believe suffered from a past time of being suffered, and decided to take control, and be the new bully on the block. Bullies I believe are people who like the power of being in control of everybody else, and likes the anticipation and fear that is delivered from the victim. Maybe bullies bully because they know that they will not be bullied, because there is no one to top them from their position on where they stand, and they love being right on top.

I think only cyber bullies would be too scared to say the things to people in person, because they are talking only through a computer. I also think that if they did say it to somebody in person, it would only be if they had support from other people, because cyber bullies are never alone. Cyber bullies say all these cruel things being a screen but can not bring to them selves to say it in person. I do not think I have any other reason than to say that they have no support from other people on the cyber net to help support them.

If I seen somebody being bullied, I would definitely defend them, and then befriend the person who was bullied. I want that person to be able to stand up for themselves, and to be able to go against any obstacle in their path that may try to stop them from moving forward. No one deserves to be bullied in any way, and I would take a stand to stop the person from what they are doing.
