Have you ever been so lazy and unmotivated that you had CPS threatened to take you away from your family? Probably not. i wish i could say the same thing. in the beginning of my highschool career i was not what you would call a very focused and dedicated student. i couldnt say my number one priority was to excel and acheive good grades to move onto a good college, but was more concerned on going out with my friends and enjoying my 4 years of high school as much as possible. unfortunately for me that wasnt the smartest choice i could have made.
