the marlin in my life

There is a marlin in everyones lives. Nobody has a perfect life & everybody is always going to have obstacles that they have to overcome. Something is always stopping people from getting where they need to be or where they are trying to be. The Marlin in my life was my english class. In the beginning of the year during first marking period is when I had my Marlin. In the begining of the school year there was only one class that I had a bad grade in. This class was english. For some reason I just did not push myself to work to my best abilities & that really messed me up in the long run. I was not taking those missing assignments very seriously, let alone the class itself. I ended up getting a very low grade in that class & I told myself that I would get a higher grade than that of the grade I got on my progress report. I tried to do better but I fell back into my old habits of not doing my homework or forgetting about it when it was due the next day. I noticed that I work better under pressure so I usually wait until the day before it was due to actually do it & thatnot good at all. On my report card I got a worse grade than before. I decided that it was time for a real change. The next marking period I did most of the work that was given to me. On my progress report I got a B in that class. I noticed that all of my efforts were paying off. By time the report cards came out I had an A. I had finally gotten the grade that I was aiming for. I had overcome the obsticle of a failing grade. I noticed that it was not that hard either, it was o nly me being lazy for no reason at all.
