Assignment 24- Julian Perry

My Junior year has been an uphill battle. It has been a race against time and a struggle against my own self. First semester was fairly uneventful, aside from the large number of snow days Fayette County collected. It was certainly frustrating at times, but the real blows were dealt second semester. 

This semester, I've been victim to so many illnesses that I can't count my absences on fingers AND toes. An uphill battle is quite a fitting comparison. I'm proud of the work that I've done this year, climbing up from an F in a majority of my classes. It's just unfortunate that this is the year colleges look at. I hope to write a killer college entrance essay from this experience, however. Always looking on the upside. That's what keeps me positive when life isn't positive.
