Failure Sparked the Future

Procrastination is something that everyone at one point in time or another has sincerely regretted. I have allowed procrastination take control my work ethic for the last few years and continues throughout some aspects of my life now but my mistake of allowing procrastination to take over was the exception. It ended up paying off in the long run, and I couldn’t be more thankful.

When I was a freshman my brother was a senior, at the time he was telling me how easy high school was and he never had to do homework and he still passed all of his classes and got extra credits. Now at the time, I was determined to do the same because what student wants to do homework. So I did what I could in school and that was that, even in my study halls during freshman year I didn’t put the time into getting my work done, I just watched Netflix and kept to myself. That is how I failed some of my classes: this is also I how I found myself in Mr.Luchini’s night school English class.

I was hesitant to start, but little did I know I was about to discover my second passion: English. By attending night school I was able to get one on one with a teacher and have the fundamentals explained more in-depth so I would be able to remember and understand. I got to actually have time to read and really annotate packets, I also was able to go through and not only edits my own essays but also edit my peer’s. I was given the chance to help them with wording or sorting out their thoughts, and I loved it.

A stupid mistake that I made when I was 14 gave me the opportunity to learn more in an after school English class then I have had in any other English class. I not only learned more about English but I also figured out my future and discovered that I want to minor in English, so I have the knowledge to maybe become an English teacher one day and open someone’s eyes to how fascinating English can be just as Mr. Luchini has opened mine.
