Never Fall by Zykeria

Never Fall by Zykeria - November 2018 Scholarship Essay

In my household I’m known to be the "clumsy" family member. From running into walls in plain sight to tripping over thin air (literally). There's no one I can necessarily blame for my clumsiness it just happens. That’s why I believe my senior quote should be "I may trip, stumble, tumble and topple but I will never fall. This quote relates to me personally, and on an educational basis because. Throughout my chronicles of being inelegant and uncoordinated, I have never truly fell. I've always had the ability to catch myself before I go down.
Like for instance, when it comes to education over the course of high school career. I’ve only obtained 1 C over all. That C was acquired in Spanish 2 where I was truly challenged in the course since I was taking Spanish 1 & 2 at the same time so when it came to the Spanish 2 class I’d fell behind and hadn’t yet learned. Now just because this is the only class I’ve obtained a C in doesn’t mean I wasn’t challenged anywhere else. The other classes I were enrolled in throughout this period were in fact difficult. Especially, the AP, and honors classes.
Now I have obtained many C’s like MANY, but they were never final except the 1. The reason for this was because I always had the ability to overcome the obstacles that I had faced into receiving the C. Whether it was low test grades, slacking with homework, or not understanding the curriculum and never asking question. I had the ability to push through. I’d tripped I’d stumbled, tumbled, and toppled but I’d never fall. Long nights in early morning should’ve been my quote since that was all I faced. There wasn’t a night I’d gone to bed before 10 pm. Not always due to procrastination but since I didn’t like to fall behind.
No, I was not the most organized person, but I looked at situations as if. If I’d get it done now I wouldn’t have to worry about it later. Or maybe if I stayed ahead I could get a break the next day, and not have anything to worry about. But never did I ever get a break. If there was one second of peace and sanity than another priority would be slammed on top of me. Trying to break me down, never did I fall though. Never had it in me too because I tell myself every day. I didn’t bust my behind everyday for 12 years to become nothing. So I will make the best out of every situation no mater how demeaning or how close I was to going to pieces. I know my future has worth, and anything in life that has true worth behind it, is going to have obstacles that comes with it.
So even though I may trip, stumble, tumble, and topple but I promise you I will never fall.
