<p>I wished I had gotten better grades freshman year and early sophomore year, but looking back now I couldnt’ve done it. I had no help, no inspiration, no support. It doesn’t really matter, because regretting it and dwelling on what I could’ve done better is a waste of the present. I have to say, I think I really turned myself around towards the end of sophomore year and I kept it up throughout junior year. I took charge in my academics and my activities, and it’s paid off. So I definitely don’t regret my failures early on, because it taught me how to be successful. I thought junior year was awesome even though it was stressful as hell. I’m looking forward to senior year, though!</p>
