<li>Should I write about how I transitioned from a private school in a small city to an online school system in a big city and how I struggled with keeping up my academics while shuttling from my small hometown to the big city that I moved to? I will include that I maintained a goal of promising myself that I will need to make sure that I make the deans list every semester. I will include how I felt like online schooling really benefited me and how I felt much more motivated in academics. I will include how going to a bigger city really made me realize the importance of academics.

<li>I used to be really shy, even at school. When I went to a traditional private school, I never liked to raise my hand in class or I would be really scared to make friends/talk to people. Since I love to sing as a hobby and I lived in a small city, my mom moved me to a big city. Upon moving to a bigger city, I was put on an online school system. An online school system is flexible, so I have time to juggle music with education. I felt like music overcame my shyness. I was able to sing at a lot of open mics and music showcases. Should I write about how moving to a bigger city with more opportunities helped me overcome my shyness?</li>
