Although there were several semesters in which I thought I would do it, there was always just that ONE class that would mess it up. Well, often there were a FEW classes that would mess it up. Finally, my last semester before I had to drop out for financial reasons, I finally got a 4.0 for that semester. It is strange, though, because I did it when I least expected that I could. I got the 4.0 during a semester in which I took classes that had reputations as some of the most difficult classes at the University. Those were the most challenging classes of my time in college, but at the same time, some of the most valuable and memorable classes of my life.
