On one spring/summer transitioning day i woke up tired wishing there was no school or at least that my math teacher would be absent.Not only did i not want to go to school but my room was cold because it was still spring.And the coldest part of the day is when the sun is just starting to rise.It was about 54 degrees according channel 11 news which my grandma listen to when she is getting ready for work because she works at a factory which has the ocean right behind it. And that makes it colder for the workers. As I finally got up from bed as a christian i normally pray before i do anything to hand over my day to God so that anything that happens during the day happens according to his plan. I told my grandmother good morning as she was rushing for work leaving me $5 lunch money and my favorite breakfast eggs and cheese with french fries on the side ( i know it’s weird lol!). As i was getting ready i realized that time was going by fast so i had to eat the food quickly so that i could leave to walk to school and also buy lunch before i go in because from my school to my house it would take me 30 min to walk and the bus takes time to come. I left the house at 7:15 am wanting lunch but not knowing what to buy. So I decided to get a turkey sandwich and a pina colada Arizona juice at the local Mexican deli that have this black cat that I used to run away from. While waiting for the sandwich I felt this cool breeze pass my legs because  the outside was windy and the door was open. That day I was wearing my blue polo shirt and black skirt because my school was a uniform school where 6th graders had to wear white polo shirts, 7th graders yellow shirts and 8th graders had to wear blue shirts. Then my sandwich was finally done and as i was walking to school listening to christian music on my samsung galaxy phone with my pink sony headphones on i saw parents passing by me with their kids walking on the opposite direction as i was because a few blocks ahead of my grandmothers house there was a elementary school that i used to go too which was p.s 217.As they were passing by i was reminiscing my elementary school days and wishing that these kids would enjoy themselves because junior high is a bit more tense. As I continue walking I took the shortcut only because it’s a bit more secluded and I can put my music on blast and think about how I want to finish school for good after achieving all of my degrees including my Phd. And when I finally reached the junction it was like a hudde reunion hall where all of my school mates meet coming from different places to go to school. As I stood waiting for the light to change I saw my group of friends shouting my name and out of excitement I ran to them to give them a hug.Then we walked to school and finally reached. As we parted ways my joy went away because I knew my first class was math class which I dread. When I finally reached the cool sparkling wooden floor room I saw my classmates getting themselves situated in their assigned seats. So I walked to mine and got myself situated. Then the lesson began as the lesson was going on my mind wandered off out of boredom and that’s when my teacher decided to ask me a question that i couldn’t answer and because i couldn’t answer the said something that really hurt my feelings which was to “go wash my mouth because that’s where my words were coming from” when i looked to my left and right the students kept their heads down because they knew how embarrassed i was. I kept quiet for the remaining time and couldn’t wait to go home. When I finally got home I prayed because that’s what I do when I feel down. Then I decided to call my godmother and she told me to not worry and that she would help me with my math class. And when she did i started progressing in school and when she went to the parent teacher conference she spoke to him about everything that is going on and he was thanking her because of the progress that he has been seeing in my work. I was progressing so now I was helping my classmates. As i progressed i realized that what i went through was wrong but if i didn’t go through it i would not have been humble enough to have the patience to help my classmates because some of them didn’t have the patience to help me. My perspective in education changed after this experience and it made me realize that everyone learns differently some quicker than others but regardless of it as a student you should keep on going because even if all else fails you still need to be different and make a change for yourself,family and the generations to come. This experience didn’t break me but made me new and see the importance of education from another level. I wrote my experience to tell my peers to keep their heads up especially during this pandemic because if you don’t do what’s best for yourself you’re only going to drag in life. And this experience also made me realize that education isn’t only  something that is being taught inside of a classroom but also is something that is being taught through your obstacles in life and it’s your choice on if you want to learn or not and giving up is not an option. You must go on. One thing that I think I’ll need help with is giving more concrete information because I feel like I don’t give enough and also this is my first college essay draft. On another note I’m also very proud because this is my first essay with 1051 word count. LOL
