Rewrite the below scene;
Each day we are faced with many choices, and the choices we may today affect our future. When I made the decision to graduate high school and attend university at the age of sixteen, I thought that I was making a decision that was best for my future, not analyzing at the time the outcome of my decision. I like to say that graduating early was the best and worst decision I have made. During my freshman year of college my mom moved to Lubbock with me to, to give me the opportunity of pursuing my dreams. She sold our home gave up her job selflessly. At the time I still had my mom to help me make decisions and steer me in the right direction. Going into my sophomore year though my mom moved away, and there I was free to make my own decision, good and bad. I decided that year to join a sorority. As most of us have seen on TV I had this expectation of college to be a big party, and at the time I thought that was the path for me. I thought that I would be able to maintain this reckless attitude and my grades. The truth was I could not. I saw my grades drop before my eyes. When my parents would ask what was going on I would blame other circumstances, such as not have enough time or the courses being difficult. Each of which are true, but it was because of my own choices that I did not decide. Realizing the detrimental effect of my choices on my academic life, I knew if I wanted to have to prosperous medical future that I aspired to have I would need to assess my priorities and get my life back on track. I chose to get out of my sorority and focus primarily on academics. I immediately saw improvements in my grades. Looking back on my last 60 hours of course work and seeing a 4.0 GPA is shocking. Although nothing will fix the challenges, I experienced my sophomore year I learned many lessons, that have impacted not only my academics but my professional and personal aspects. My actions were extremely selfish as my parents had given up a lot to help me succeed, I only hope that my choices in the future make everyone in my life proud.
