ACT Time

I never really understood what thee ACT was. My mom use to all ways talk about when you get to high school your going to have this big test were it deceased if you go to college. I brushed it off my shoulders because I did not I in 8th grade. So as I came to high school my freshman year and I would see all of the juniors go on a day and take there ACT and they would talk about how they did and what went wrong. I took the practice ACT my first year and I did not understand anything on it I was lost I just started circling different letters. I think I got a 15 on it. I tried very hard I think even though I did not know what in the world I was doing. Close to the ending of my freshman year I joined a group called habitat for humanity. They help kids like me to find a college and do ACT prep and ect.

When I was walking Into my Junior year I was very nervous for the second Semester because I did not know what it was going to bring. So my mom was on me saying you have to to get the ACT book and you have to practice. So I got Act help and things like that. I use to go to Washington University through my habitat program and they gave me free torturing for the semester. I went every Thursday and they would help me with my homework and also they will help me with the ACT. We would do one question out of each section and I would keep doing it. I did this so I can get a feel for on how the test is going to be and so I can do well.

So the day Of my ACT day I walk in with a white shirt and PJ pants on with house shoes. I was trying ti be the comfortable as possible. I walk in with a positive mind and saying ” I can do it.” So I take it and I felt like I did a bad I though I just boomed it I did no good. After three weeks I was so nervous. I did not what day it was going to come in the mail.I waited a very long time to get them and it got to the point were my mom was asking everyday. My friends would ask me how was the ACT how you think you did. I will say I do not think I did that good and I got like t 27 on it. I came home from school one day and I was on the bus and my mom had called me on my phone and said ” I got to tell you something.” And I was ready to here about it I could not wait. I run up the street when I got off that bus because I thought it was something that was suppose to come to me that I ordered. As I rush through the door I rain up our stairs. My mom said look what you got. I look at the paper and I scream and run around my house yelling going crazy.Me and my mom did not believe it so we had to ask and make sure that they gave use the right one. And when they said yes I just started calling all of my family telling them. And that is how you get prepared for a ACT.
