School is very important in our society today. More so then it has been in the past. Fifty years ago, you could not go to school and still be very successful. Today you could be successful without school but it would require a lot more work because you are competing with a majority of people who have an education. It takes some people longer then others to realize that school is important; some never realize this at all. .
For me, I learned the hard way; it took me eighteen years to realize that school would be an important part of my life. It all started many years ago in second grade when I was diagnosed with dysgraphia. This made the work twice as hard as it already was. Because of the fact I was only seven years old, I got very discouraged. I thought it was only happening to me; I thought that was unfair. Little did I know, life is not always fair. So because of the frustration and my resulting low self confidence, I decided not to do the work. I made myself believe that school was not important because I had trouble with it. I carried this opinion with me for many years to come, including all the way to high school where it really started to matter. Freshman year was probably one of the worst schooling years of my life. I don't think that I got an A or a B the entire year. The problem with that was that I did not even care. My parents would always try to make me stay in and study. They would say things like I could only go out for two hours day. The problem was, I would not study. I did not know how. The time allowed out quickly became four hours, five hours and so on. At the time, it seemed to be the right thing to go out with my friends all day and night. Soon after that my parents put me in special services to help me study. Special Services wouldn't do the work. They help you help yourself. The only problem with that is, I was not ready to help myself. .
No matter what people said to me, it did not matter.
