I believe in Faith

Faith is having confidence and trust at all times about things even when things aren’t going as expected. Faith helps you get through things. Especially when things are not going right. Faith is when things aren’t going good but, you believe they will and can get better at any moment. Faith is what keeps you looking forward to what’s next because, you believe things will get better.

   Last year was my freshman year I was so worried about how bad it could turn out to be. I thought high school was going to be one of the hardest moments of my life and that I would fall behind very quickly. I thought freshman year was going to be an impossible year for me to get through.

   As we began school I felt sure of myself. Freshman year wasn’t easy but it wasn’t impossible either. Ninth grade was a good start I was going to all my classes and turning in all my assignments. My year was going wonderful at this point.

   Then after some time I got off task. I began to not care about my school work or my grades. For a moment I had just completely stop caring about school. At a point I even stopped showing up to some of my classes which then ended up in not showing up to school at all. I started believing high school was really impossible to get through.

   While I was busy not going I realized I was letting myself down but that wasn’t it I was letting my mom down. I was letting my mom down because I was failing my classes but I knew I could pass my classes I just chose not to put an effort in  my education. I then realized I was also the reason why my mom was stressing at this point. She would always get calls from school informing her that I hadn’t showed up to one or more periods or I hadn’t been to school at all. She became very disappointed in me. My mom could not figure out why I didn’t like going to school and besides that she couldn’t make sure I went to school every day because she had to work all the time.

   I realized she was tired of trying to get me to go to school and she had lost faith in me. I thought if she had lost faith in me there was nothing else to prove to her. I had lost faith in myself because I disappointed her so much all the time. Then I thought to myself if I just put in effort in my education things will get better, and going to school was good for me there was nothing bad in going to school. I wanted to change my grades but teachers were not accepting late work anymore.

   Even though I wanted to change my grades and stuff it was too late we were almost out of school, but then I saw they were offering a summer school program. I told my mom about the summer school program we agreed to sign me up to it so I would catch up on my grades. I had faith in myself I knew I could pass summer school, because nothing is impossible if you just put an effort to it. During summer school I didn’t miss a day of school unless I was really sick. I was bummed that I had school during vacation but I had to get my grades up. I ended up passing all my classes with a’s and b’s. I felt proud because I had achieved passing my classes and made my mom proud of me and I made her smile. I believe faith is what got me through this because I didn’t stop believing in myself or in my ability to pass my classes .
