Intro 1
I was on top of
the world. 17 and already accepted into a college. I was ready to
get a start on my future. I graduated a semester early, and three
days after my last day in high school I moved into the dorms at
Southern Maine Community College. I felt like such an adult. I had a
full course schedule and was ready to give my all. Or so I thought.
It turned out I took on more than I thought and I failed. My failure
can be put into three reasons why. Partying, no study tactics, and in
all its simplicity I just plain old jumped the gun and had moved too
fast.
Intro 2
“I'm the first
one!!!” I bragged about it through the hallways. In the main
entrance, on the big bulletin board, I was the first name out of all
the seniors in my class to be accepted to college. I was full of
pride. High School wasn't the place for me, so working hard and
graduating a semester early was a big accomplishment! I thought I
was ready for bigger and better things, so only three days after
graduating I packed my bags and shipped off to college. What 17 year
old doesn't think they can take on their world no matter how
unprepared they are? Looking back I see it was no surprised I
failed. I had moved to fast, didn't put in the time to work hard,
and partying of course was a huge factor!
Both work. I'm partial to #2 as it gives a fuller treatment.
ReplyDeleteI'm with #2 as well.
