<p>I won't miss CC, but surely I'm so thankful for the chance I am given in there. Because I have an unusual story in there.</p>
<p>I took the same biology class for three times! (extremely sucks)The first time I got a W, then the second time I got a D. When you take a class for the third time, you need to write a reason </p>
<p>what is the story behind needing to take it three times shirley? I love to hear motivational stories.</p>
<p>lol some of you guys are ungrateful. i mean obviously your CC isn't a real person, but you should still appreciate it and be very thankful for the opportunities it offered you. i mean what else would you people have done? obviously you prefered attending a CC verses working/attending a 4 year you weren't satisfied with/etc....so cheer up and don't look at the experience as if the devil is releasing you from his prison in hell. </p>
<p>just the fact we (americans) get second chances in our college academics is beautiful.</p>
<p>i don't mean to scorn anybody or go off sounding *****y....just my friendly view on things...</p>
<p>If I get into UCLA, I have my community college to thank for. I'll definitely miss it too. Very good times there.</p>

<p>Amen to that! I dropped out of high school when I was 16, and now I'm 27 and applying to schools like Cornell and UChicago out of my CC. And the amazing thing is, I think actually have a shot!</p>

<p>I didn't work hard for the first time. Therefore, I dropped it. It's quite usual.
When I took it again, it was a bad timing. I was so depressed, cuz I had a very big argument w/ my family. It lasted couple of months. Also, I was working at that time. Besides failing biology, I failed an easy philosophy class also. I got 1.2 somthing for that semester. After that semester, I spent almost all the money I earned on traveling in summer. </p>
<p>I feel better afterward and my grade is getting better. </p>
<p>Nothing motivational. I didn't wrote I had family problem in my personal statement. It seems so cliched.</p>
<p>Is the D couted toward your GPA even after you retake the course and get a better grade? I'm just curious.</p>
<p>I surely will miss my CCCs, Santa Monica / Irvine Valley / Saddleback College. Actually, you can scratch out Saddleback because that place just disgusts me! Honestly, attending Saddleback was the worst experience I have ever had to faced for personal reasons. Santa Monica College on the other hand is completely amazing. I am totally satisfied with my decision of coming here to finish off my lower reqs. I enjoy studying in my library because it is so new / modern. Moreover, SMC had given me a second chance to redeem myself and prove to myself and others that I am, in fact, not a failure. Based on what acceptances I have thus far, my I have proved to everyone that I am capable of doing anything, as long as I set my heart on it. If I ever do get into UCLA, it would be a sign that I have done something great in my life. I hope that dream comes true...</p>
<p>oh gosh another i have a dream speech</p>
