Successful
A dream shared among most people, is to one day make it to college. Although we all know getting there is not an easy task, some have it easier than others. My elementary years were my first and last years of school. Middle school was the start of my seven years of my life, continuing into high school. Midway throughout high school i hit rock in which I got incarcerated.
 	As best of my knowledge, elementary school was pretty much normal and as simple as it’s meant to be. It was the creative stage of our lives, where our creativity was put to the test. Whether we would create our own books or posters made out of macaroni. Activities were always fun and I enjoyed every minute of my childhood attending elementary school.
 My behavior started to change once I began attending middle school. The freedom and responsibility we were given took a toll on me. Since there was not always a teacher looking over me, I found it easier to get away with things. I would take advantage at any given opportunity, whether it was skipping class, acting immature, or being disrespectful towards classmates. Little did I know that my actions were leading me down a negative path.
