<p>There is always room to improve and go further, make no mistake - but, when you look at all of your academic accomplishments within the context of your high school career, are you satisfied? Are you proud of yourself? (Forget about your friends, parents, guidance counselors, teachers, etc. You. Are YOU proud?)</p>
<p>Not really, I think I could have done much better than I have throughout high school. Sure, a 4.2 weighted GPA in mostly pre-IB classes is certainly nothing to scoff at (Well, maybe on CC), but I definitely could have gotten straight A’s or at least close to it, if not for, at times, a lack of effort. So, while the grades have overall been good, and I’ve steadily improved every year since fifth grade in terms of my overall grades and work ethic, I still can’t be satisfied with myself, because I know I could have done better.</p>
<p>Yeah, I am. I think that, while I certainly could have worked a little harder in some areas or dedicated more time to certain activities, I’ve accomplished a lot in my time at high school. I’ve got a good GPA, good ACT and SAT score, some amazing friends, and some extracurriculars that I’ve truly enjoyed. I probably won’t get into Princeton or Columbia, which sucks, but I know that wherever I end up I’ll have a blast.</p>
<p>Preach. ^ Harvard is a pipe dream at this point but I know that my future is bright regardless.</p>
<p>Sometimes I wish I tried harder for certain things and maybe my average would be a little higher, like by a point or two, but you can’t dwell on it because there’s nothing you can really do about it now.</p>
<p>Not especially. I procrastinate as a matter of course and don’t really accomplish as much as I could if I actually tried.</p>
<p>Not incredibly, I know that if I had worked harder last year and this year I could have had a better GPA, but I slacked off and procrastinated. Never was a future Harvardian, and I think I still have some great college options available to me, but I would’ve liked to get that 4.0. Might still end up with a 4.0+ W, but who knows. Now isn’t the time to look back though, now is the time to look forward and work harder. </p>
<p>That said, I also am proud too though, because I have a solid list of EC’s and sports that I enjoy, great friends, and some other accomplishments I’m proud of. Over the course of just this school year I’ve improved my procrastination and am working harder than ever before.</p>
<p>Tl;dr I could’ve done better, but am still proud of what I have done, though I am slightly disappointed with what I didn’t do.</p>
<p>No. I mean, high school is only halfway over for me… So I suppose I could do something worth my pride in my remaining time.
I feel like I constantly fall short of the goals I set for myself - but then again, I might be setting my sights too high.
But I definitely feel that if I procrastinated less, I would be MUCH better off. I just can’t bring myself to actually work.</p>
<p>Overall, yes. Except for that B in driver’s ed. I took it in the summer, so I did not take it seriously at all. That hurt my weighted GPA more than any other class, since it was a non honors course.</p>
<p>In the US expected lifespan of 78 years, this is high school:</p>

<p>Not really. I could have done better.</p>
<p>I’m generally happy with what I’ve done. sure, I’ve made a lot of mistakes and probably could’ve done much better, but, hey, how accurately are you going to expect a 14 year old to plan out their futures or know themselves well enough to know what they want to do right off the bat?
it seems like I’ve got some nice options for the future, so I’m good :)</p>
<p>In 2007 when I graduated HS I was glad to be out of it. But I’m not satisfied of the results of my time in HS. That being said, most of those issues weren’t at my fault…</p>
<p>No. No matter how many times I tell myself I’ll regret procrastinating and not doing my homework and not studying for APs and SAT IIs later on, I still can’t find motivation to do anything. I know I’ll regret it when I get rejected from all my top colleges next year. But I have no idea what to do to make myself work harder.</p>
