Assignment 22- Stone Poole

I'm your classic college applicant. All the pressure from my family, all the hopes from myself as a kid for my future. Just a dream, an ACT score and a GPA here. Oh yeah, not really.  I may have a good ACT score and GPA but your average highs school kid and I didn't get those the same way.  I had a family who made me get to bed before midnight so I would get sleep and I had swim practice every school night and I dealt with my extraordinary procrastination skills.  You hear stories of other student- athletes maintaining grades and performing well but not with the same amount of pressure from their family. I kept that pressure and have used it to move forward. My parents don't accept B's. They don't accept laziness and staying up too late on a school night. So I had to fight the procrastination of rather play video games, hang out with my friends, spend time with my family or go on a date with my girlfriend. But I had to focus on the future and change that pressure into drive to complete what I have to before I can relax. That drive is going to push me to succeed in college and afterwards and make me a dream student for your school. Most students don't know how to balance their lives in college and it leads to a rude awakening. I've always had to balance my life and I'm ready for the challenge that is college  and adulthood
