I got out of school at 2 p.m. then I would go skateboarding from 4 p.m. until 6 p.m. Afterwards, I had to do my homework, only because my mom would make me (which was good because otherwise I would have probably failed out of school). During my summer vacation, all I did was　skateboarding. I would skate everyday from about 10 a.m. until 7 p.m. When I was in the 11th grade, I realized that if I didn’t put more time into my studies, I would never get into college, especially a good one. So, I started putting more time into school and my grades got better and better. Soon, instead of just barely passing my classes, I made A’s and B’s. In the end, I was accepted to Ringling School of Art which is a very prestigious art school. Unfortunately, I did not have enough money to attend any classes there.
