I have changed throughout freshman year by taking up a new sport and trying harder in academics. Last year I didn’t try as hard to study and focus on my academics than this year. I realized that this is the year everything finally counts, so I realized that I needed to try harder for school. Looking back on it, I am very happy with how freshman year has gone so far. I am very happy with my grades and will continue to strive towards making straight A’s. Not only have I found a new “me” in academics, but I have found a new sport that I love. Previously I had always played tennis as my main sport. Until this fall, where I tried out rowing. After one practice on the water, I realized that rowing was the sport I wanted to take on. Now halfway through freshman year I am a part of the Berkeley team, but I also row outside of school for a club. I intend on rowing all throughout high school and hopefully in college.
