Succeeding With Confidence

Yesterday morning, I woke up at 5:45 to get dressed and ready for the day because it was the day of the school year's end. I was feeling more excited than tired because I, along with the other students at school, get to have a summer break from all the labor and the hard work we have put our efforts in to succeed. I found out that my final grades for my classes for the 4th term were only four A's and three B's which make me feel proud of myself for working so hard in school. I have worked hard in school for years and I still have confidence that I can handle another year and make it through high school so I can finish it strong and graduate to get onto the next level of life. Ever since I was little I didn't really like school but with the thought of getting into college and becoming more prepared in life for things that I don't know will happen I decided to go to school so I could learn and be ready. I have been working so hard and I was able to achieve, which I still am. And I have earned certificates for doing successful hard work in school. I have been successful in three places: Mexico, California and Utah.

Myself is not the only one I am proud of for working so hard. There are others that I know have earned certificates and finished the year strong because of the hard work and the success they have put in school. There are also those that I may not know very much or not at all that have succeeded. I have learned from my family, my teachers, my friends and my Heavenly Father that I can do hard things and I can finish strong with faith, confidence and courage. I've also learned if we believe in ourselves we can do anything that we put our minds to. When I was little a few people didn't think I was smart or able to do anything I put my mind to because of my learning challenges but my parents refused to believe that because they knew that they were not willing to help me learn. They pushed me to seek the opportunities available for me and they were able to help me. They were not the only ones who did, my sisters, my friends and my teachers who believed in me helped me. Especially someone above my head. I am proud of myself and others for working hard in school, doing our best and standing up for what we believed in.
