Entry 28

Ninth grade can be tough, especially when you found out the your grades weren't improving. What is particularly frustrating about the declining grades of mine is because I let it happen. My grades weren't dropping because I didn't have the ability to complete the assignment, bur rather because I was careless. Taking history as an example, my grades is a B+ at this moment when it could have been higher. Why? I forgot to insert footnotes on one of the first papers and received an F for that assignment. Now I have to work extra hard on that subject just to get lower grades than everyone else! Biology is another excellent example. My grade now is a slipping A- and it should have also been higher. If it wasn't for me messing up my first lab quiz by misreading the directions, I could have gotten a far better grade. Sigh. Sigh. Sigh. I guess unlike certain elites, I have to learn things the hard way. Dear God if you are reading this post right now, I would like to let you know that I've learned my lesson about carelessness in school. Thank you.
