PROUDEST ACHIEVEMENT

there are a lot of achievements that i am proud of, from making captain of the soccer team to being the first in my family to graduate high school, but the one achievement i am proud of the most is graduating my senior year with a 4.0. since i was captain of the girls soccer team i had to be at every practice to lead the girls in daily stretches and drills. this meant i had to be the first one on the field and the last one on the field. right after soccer practice i had to go to work where i would be until the store closed. since i was a key person i always had to close on the weekdays and open on the weekends. I'm not sure how i was able to get all my homework and weekly presentations done when i was doing soccer during the week and working during the week as well as the weekends. what made my senior year even more difficult was that i became homeless and had to live with my sister and her boyfriend that i don't get along with. living with my sister wasn't something that i was very happy with. her boyfriend and i didn't get along and he tried to boss me around with rules that i wasn't use to having. i soon became late to school almost ever day since she lived pretty far from the school and it took her forever to drop me off. after school i would have to catch two buses just to get back, but luckily my friend would give me a ride to my sister's house when i got off work. being captain of the girls soccer team and graduating high school are all fine achievements, but it doesn't compare to graduating with a 4.0. through that experience i grew stronger and i grew as a person, so that is why graduating my senior year with a 4.0 is my proudest achievement.
