Paragraph:

"Your level of success is only predetermined by your level of effort" (anonymous, n.d) describes

my life as a student perfectly. I always strive to do my best in all of my studies. I am a 4.0

student, but it hasn't come easily. I have had to dedicate countless hours towards my school work

and have cancelled plans with friends and family to do so. There are times; unfortunately, where

I procrastinate on my work and take the easy way out. This results in poor marks and me feeling

frustrated with myself. Today, I try to not do that and make sure that everything I hand in is to

the best of my abilities. Overall, I have managed to maintain straight A's in all of my years in

high school and I am very proud of efforts and more importantly myself.
