Assignment 24- Richie Lane

My junior year was kinda a wreck if I'm being honest. I had less motivation than I ever have before, which is unfortunate because this was my heaviest and arguably most important year. I waited till the last second to do a lot of work, and waited until after a lot of things were due as well. My grades shouldn't end up being too bad, but they definitely could have been better. I've been very stressed about college and what I will need on my ACT and what my GPA needs to be in order to get scholarships to the schools I want to go to. I visited Ohio State and Michigan State, both of which I loved and really hope I can get a scholarship to go to. I learned the same lesson I learn every year, don't wait till the very last second to do things, because it just makes it a lot harder. Also try to get along with your teachers, because they are likely the ones you'll be asking for a letter of rec. I got along with my teachers, but I doubt any of them will be jumping to write me a letter of rec because of my work ethic this year. Oops. I did get a 32 on my ACT, which I'm pretty proud of. It's also kinda annoying though because everyone knows I haven't tried very hard this year so they get mad when they hear what my score was. But I'm very proud of it, and I know I'm smart enough to earn that score and maybe even a higher score. This summer will be very calm hopefully, since I haven't had a chill summer in 4 years. Last year I did an exchange program, the year before that I took an online class, and the year before that, I did a summer lacrosse travel league. All took up most of or all of my summer, so nothing like that this year. Just vacation and relaxing.
