Everyone encounters difficulties in everyday life. It doesn't matter how small you are or how big you are or even how tough you are, you run into a problem every single day. Some problems are easier to handle and you can solve them yourself like Beowulf did with Grendel. Some problems may be too difficult to handle or there is no way to solve them on your own. There are many difficult things we come across that we may need help with, just like the dragon in Beowulf. Beowulf needed a little help with the dragon. The dragon was too much for him to handle and was defeating Beowulf. I've faced some "personal dragons" myself, including my parents divorcing when I was young and I made collage. One of the “personal dragons” I am facing would be going to collage. Going to collage is not a difficult choice at all. The hardest choices are economic situations and knowing whether you can get into collage or not. If you go to high school and don't do your best, you could completely ruin your collage dream. Your grades would be too low and also collage work is very difficult...
