THe mistakes I made and the regrets I have to face. Do yourself a service and read this if you are a slacker like me.

One would think that Summer School would snap me out of it. Well it did, I went into junior year with a scholar mentality, which lasted for less than a month. Then came the work load. I would come home knowing I had serious homework to do but rather go out with friends instead. A route I choose countless times...
