I think one of the biggest setbacks I've ever had was not getting into the academy on my first try. When I was in middle school I already knew that I wanted to go to Henry Clay and wanted to be in the Academy because my sister was in it and I had heard such great things about it from her. When I first took the test though early in my 8th grade year I didn't make the cutoff which was devastating to me. I then found out that I would have another shot at making it in 6 months later in June so I decided to do as much as I could to ensure that this time I would make the cutoff. Luckily it paid off and I made it in on my second try, but it was a really eye opening experience for me and taught me about not giving up.
