Draft

I don’t think I’ve been a good student. I’ve been told I can do my work, I’m good around others and I contribute to the class. But my grades don’t reflect that I’ve been a C to B student for a while now nor does my work ethic show I’m good at turning things in on time or if i do turn things on time it doesn’t feel like effort was put in. The best way of explaining my working habits is like this. Ever see a tom and jerry short or classic looney toons they do this bit a lot, someone is on a boat, and water is leaking in so they plug the hole with their finger. Next thing you there is another hole and another and another until they sink. This habit I’m in is only going to make me sink. I try to live up to what I’ve been told I am but I feel I’m too behind to actually meet expectations. I’ve had teachers who inspired me before and I’ve done work that I’ve been passionate about and even then it still looks like I’m doing the bare minimum. Are my standards for what i consider acceptable too low or is what is expected of me too low I think the former is true. I definitely have to get everything together if i want to be anywhere in this world. I think I’ve taken my education for granted which may seem unrelated to everything else im talking about right now but it feels that that’s the byproduct. i took my education for granted and now feel like I’m always behind on work stuck trying to plug holes on what is my career as a student.
