2 wrongs don't make a right.

       Have you ever done something really bad after you told yourself and all your friends and family that you wouldn't do it again? I did and now I'm back in the same situation that i told myself i would never get put in again. Last year i was attending Northeastern Oklahoma A&M College (NEO), and the first semester went great. I was going to class, i had good grades, and i was playing football; life was great. Then the second semester started and everything went down hill from there. I got really unmotivated to go to class. I would wake up in the morning and go to breakfast check, but instead of going to class i went to my room and went back to sleep until it was time for practice. i did that everyday for the first three maybe four months of the semester. By the time i talked to some friends and got a little motivated to go to class it was to late cause i had missed to much class. My instructors did let me turn in a little bit of work so i finished the year with all D's. when the coaches seen my grades they told me that i couldn't play football any more. I lost a full ride football scholarship because i wanted to sleep the second semester.
       When i came home for the summer everybody was mad at me and told me that i could do better. I told myself that i wouldn't let that happen to me again. I told myself that when i go back to school that i was going to actually go to school. The summer ended and i decided to attend OCCC instead of going back to NEO because that was to far of a drive. When this semester started i was happy to be back in school. I was going to class everyday for the first couple of weeks. Then one day i didn't wake up. That one day turned into two, then two turned into three, and before i knew it i had missed two weeks of class. I told myself that i can't let this happen again yet i continued to let this happen. It has been almost a month since i have been to school, and its not because i was hurt or something happened i was just being lazy. Now i have to try my hardest to catch up so that i don't have all bad grades like i did last semester.
       There is plenty of things that i can blame my situation. I could say that i slacked off i was tired, or i didn't go to class because i didn't like the instructor. There are things that could be said but it all comes down to ME. I didn't do it because i didn't want to. I'm starting to think that school is not for me.
