An End To Academic Defeat

I feel like this semester has been more successful than last semester. Last semester, I didn't have any opportunity to take quizzes or tests online. Trying to neatly write my answers in pen or pencil was challenging, and it made trying to be successful often frustrating at times. Last semester, I really felt like giving up and quitting school altogether. I didn't think I'd ever be academically successful- and reach the goals that I had imagined for myself for such a long time.
This semester, those goals of mine finally came true. Passing English isn't anything new. I'm naturally good at writing, so it isn't a big surprise that I'm doing so well in English. Of course, I faced a few challenges in my English class this semester, like working with a group and writing a research paper. I worked as hard as I possibly could to try to make these challenges less of an obstacle, and I think I really succeeded at this.
Math didn't come as an easy hurtle to overcome. One of the challenges I faced was trying to understand what the teacher was saying. Because our teacher had such a heavy accent, it was really difficult for anyone to successfully be able to understand what he had been trying to tell us. I also had the challenge of trying to get him to realize and understand that I can't see what he writes on the blackboard because I'm legally blind. Testing was also a challenge, as all the tests were on paper, so it made writing clearly tough- even when I didn't really think much about how much time I had.
