Getting back on track


This summer has been really trying for me. Not only did at tthe end of the spring semester my job cut my hours but my grades were not as I had planned them. With this being the case and graduation in less than a year away I had to make some sacrifices and take another approach to what I would do this summer. My number one sacrifice that I gave up was my job, it wasnt goin to work makinn minimum wage and having less than 10hrs a week. Second I had to deal with the fact I would have to take summer classes if I wanted to bring up my GPA. Lastly, I had to come to terms that I would have to ask for help. Now anyone who knows my personality, I have been working since I was 15 yrs old and the one thing I hated most is to ask for financial help. I have always been alright. So with these decisions in mind, I enrolled in three classes first session and began looking for a job. With this recession though that was hard, and I resorted back home the weekends to work with no other choice. Along with these classes, and driving back and forth to Ypsilanti every weeekend life became real that if I really wanted to go to law school in Fall of 2010 I would need to start to study for this too. I guess slacking off in the srping has brought aboth these consequenses, which I have to jus deal with and suck up. What am I doing now you may ask??? Well, after classes ended first session I decided to come back to Ypsilanti for teh rest of the summer and stay with my parents to save up some money and work. This should set me up well to go in to the fall with little to no money issues and I am still practicing the LSAT, as well as taking this class. One thing I have learned is that you have to hit the bottom to get back on track... Until next time...
