Thinking Of Personal Essay

After being assigned this essay, i put a lot of thought into the topic. At first i just could not seem to pick one thing in my life that i thought was important enough to write an essay on. But i finally realized that in my life i have been through a lot. All throughout middle school and high school i just did not seem to care about anything. I did not try in school and got really bad grades. I did not have any of my priorities straight. I lost a lot of time doing things things that were a waste of my time. I ended up losing good people in my life. After all that i finally realized that what i was doing was stupid. I changed completely, i am now at Bcc trying to make something out of myself. I am focused on my future and know that my past has made me who i am today.

  2. Yes, I think you've got some really important things to write about here! The line "I did not seem to care about anything" seems particularly resonant/suggestive/important. Maybe you could focus on a few "snapshots" from that time. And can you pinpoint any particular experience or person that prompted your change??
