Transcript/attendance reflection

Looking back on my transcripts and attendance records, I am very disappointed in myself

because I know that I was being lazy. I casually drifted through high school while putting forth the

minimum amount of effort possible. I knew a majority of what was being taught to us was useless so I

saw no reason to take any of it seriously. My grades reflected my effort rather than my knowledge.

After viewing my transcripts and attendance I now know that I could have done a lot better if I had

actually cared about school.

While viewing my transcripts I laughed in disbelief because it seemed like such a joke to me. I

know what I am capable of and it was not being shown through my grades. Back then, I made sure that

I did the bare minimum to pass a majority, if not all my classes. My transcripts do not show an accurate

representation of who I am and what I am able to accomplish.

When I looked at my attendance for my freshman through junior year I did not think it was too

bad. I only missed school for mandatory things like doctor's appointments or counseling. It was not a

bad representation of who I am. When I viewed my attendance for this year, it was a different story. I

missed a lot of school this year for various reasons but I chose not to come to school a lot of the time

because I simply did not want to come.
