To revise my unit one writing I had to listen to the comments made by Ms hall to know what needed to be changed. I was told that I gave too much details which I didn’t notice when I reread my writing.I took off a good amount of unnecessary details and separated my writing into paragraphs because in my original writing it was just one big paragraph, I was glad that she helped me notice that because If I saw one big paragraph I would not be interested to read it either.Â
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 was when the sun was just starting to rise. It was about 54 degrees according to channel 11 news which my grandma listened to when she is getting ready for work . And that makes it colder for the workers. As I finally got up from bed I did my morning prayers and 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 itâs 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 . 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.Â
 That day I was wearing my blue polo shirt and black skirt because that was my school uniform school for eighth graders . Then my sandwich was finally done and as I was walking to school I saw parents passing by me with their kids walking in the opposite direction .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.  Eventually 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, we parted ways and my joy went away because I knew my first class was math class which I dread.
 When I finally reached the cool sparkling wooden floored room I saw my classmates getting themselves situated in their assigned seats, So I walked to my seat and got myself situated. The lesson began and as the lesson was going on my mind wandered off out of boredom and thatâs when my teacher decided to ask me a question that I couldnât answer and because I couldnât answer the question my teacher said something that really hurt my feelings which was to âgo wash my mouth in the bathroom because thatâs where my words were coming fromâ.
 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 couldnât wait to go home. I finally got home and I prayed because thatâs what I do when I feel down. I decided to call my godmother and she told me to not worry and that she would help me with my math class. Any question that I got wrong from any of my assignments she helped me with them. I was progressing so well that now I was helping my classmates. As the school year went on I realized that what I went through was wrong but if I didnât go through it I would not have been humble enough to have the patience to help my classmates because some of them didnât have the patience to help me.Â
Through this my perspective in education changed 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 didnât 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 donât do whatâs best for yourself youâre only going to drag in life. And this experience also made me realize that education isnât only something that is being taught inside of a classroom but also is something that is being taught through your obstacles in life and itâs 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 Iâll need help with is giving more concrete information because I feel like I donât give enough and also this is my first college essay draft. On another note Iâm also very proud because this is my first essay with 1051 word count. LOL
