Sometimes you just have to give it a try.

You can take that subject line and run with it in whatever way you please. I'll tell you what it means to me below.

I almost dropped out of school at the beginning of this semester. In fact, if it had not been for a computer glitch I would have dropped out. I was trying to do so electronically after hours and there was a problem with the school's computer so I couldn't drop any classes. I had to wait until the next day and it made me think a little longer on it. I was having a really hard time with a math class I'm taking and it just didn't seem worth it to me. But I decided to give it a shot, and it looks like I'm going to get an "A' in that class as well as the other class I'm taking this semester.

Sometimes you just don't know until you try. So much of my life has gone that way. I try. It's gotten me into trouble before, but I have a lot of valuable life experiences to show for my willingness to get out there and try new things. The experiences outweigh any trouble I might have gotten into. To be successful in life you have to be willing to put forth a lot of effort somewhere down the line.
