In my classes such as English, math, science, history, and electives I am at the appropriate place to graduate on time. I have an average grade in most of my classes that range in As to Bs but then in my math class I am not doing well at all. Sometimes I get in a slump and my grades go down for a short time. Academically I am well prepared and have taken honors in English for 3 years and history for 2 years. I enjoy my English class and I have an aptitude for reading and writing. I enjoy writing poetry and short stories. I believe I am still on the right track to reaching y goal to be an author as my career. I have been working hard and have passed the FCAT. I have not taken the ACT or SAT yet but I plan to have taken them at least twice by the time I graduate. The amount of money I will have to pay will depend on which scholarships I win. I am hoping to win a few thousand scholarships so that I will have a lesser amount to pay. I have also prepared myself for college by reviewing the colleges I have been preparing to take. I research the courses and majors they offer, also some of the activities that they offer outside of class. Due to the lack of funding from my parents I will have to take out some loans and grants to help assist me alongside the scholarships.

__QUESTION__ I have never been ugly or rude to someone who was mentally challenged. I dont beleive in hurting peoples feelings over things they have no controle over. I have seen people make-fun of mentally chalenged people. I have a friend who was mentally chalenged because of a car accident and he has the mental capability of a 10 year old. I know when I was young i did question and was confused about how they were different.I do know some mentally handycapt people who get angry when they are treated nice because they are afaird that they are only being nice to them out of sympathy. I enjoy reading and writing. Ever since I was a little girl I loved to escape into the world of books. I was reading while all the other kids would play at the park. I found my friends in books. After seeing the impact books made on my life I made it my goal to publish books that would reach others like me. I find myself striving to learn more about bettering my skill with words. Poetry is form of writing I enjoy. I express my moods through the sheets of paper and rhythm. My goal is to be a published author when I get older, for both stories and poetry. Many people take having the opportunity to get education for granted, and don't understand that what we receive for free others would die to have. We are given a freedom to learn about things that interest us and an opportunity to better ourselves. Education is the key to a better life. I love going to school and learning interesting things with my friends. Although not everything I learn is fun or exciting I try to make the best of it.
