Colleqe fOr all essay




One word that best describes my school is supportive. My school is supportive because when we have bad grades they make us do many things like make us stay after school, have special programs, and keep us on track with our grades. They also make us persevere when we are giving up on something. One great opportunity i had in school was being able to go to Washington D.C last year and also going camping in the beginning of the 7th grade.

One of my biggest struggles in school of all the times I got in trouble was  when I was in the six grade and me and three of my other friends were tagging in school property. We were in an after school program and an adult was with us. She saw us tagging and she was video taping us. She never told us to stop doing that or anything she was kind of encouraging us to do that. The school found out that we were tagging because some kinds from Achieve Academy told Ms.Bayardo and Ms.Bayardo told Mr.Guikema  then they came to us and we got in big trouble. They were checking everything that we had tagged and looked through our backpacks looking for the sharpies. We went to the office and we had to tell them the whole story and our parents got called. We had gotten a culture form and two week community service and also a long talk with our parents at home. The way I handled this problem was by saying the truth. This incident changed me because I haven’t tagged in any school property again. I took the action of saying the truth because if I lied I would have gotten in more trouble.

I think that college is a great opportunity to get the job you always wanted and to win money. No one of my family has went to college because in Mexico there wasn't enough money for them to go. College will connect to my family because I am going to be the first one in my family to be able to go college.
