OriginalÂ
When I was a student in elementary school, I could get a good score. But when I was maybe 16 yo, I went a high school in the downtown. But before I was going to a school in the country side. When I went to high school, I found a lot of things I can enjoy like play video games, watch movies, and play football. So I skipped a lot of class and became a bad student. I didn’t see this in elementary school, so I couldn’t go to a good (top tier) university. I couldn’t speak English when I graduated from college. I didn’t know which major in university was a good one.
