and I was mentally exhausted from all the work I had put in. I was very thankful that my teacher helped me succeed. I worked with him and did a lot of extra work, and studied incredibly hard, and within 4 weeks, I was able to raise my grade 11%. This was the class I had always been terrified about. I didn’t think I could do it, because in the past science hadn’t been my strong suit.…

So far I have learned how to do each one of these a lot better than before. I feel like when I get in college I will be prepared than I would have been without taking this class.…
Please wait for me to catch up to reality. Trust me, I’m trying, but when life moves as fast as it does, it becomes too late and I miss out on yet again another possibility. Please wait for me to think of a half-hearted excuse as to why I can't go out tonight because telling someone that I want to lay in bed and stare at the ceiling isn’t the best excuse. Please bear with me.…
All throughout my school career, starting all the way in elementary school, school came very easy for me. I found that I rarely had to try hard at anything because it seems like I just knew it. With very little studying I was able to maintain high grades. In middle school I was put in advance math classes and it still wasn't a challenge but then in my junior year of high school things started to get difficult.…
Many people have dealt with life changing experiences throughout their lives. My life has changed in the past two years and I have been struggling with a knee problem called Osteochondritis Dissecans, or OCD for short. Osteochondritis Dissecans is a condition where the bone underneath your cartilage dies due to a lack of blood supply. This can cause the bone to crack and loosen and sometimes even completely disconnect from the joint. Not only has OCD taken me out of all my extracurricular activities such as, hockey and soccer, it has also taken a huge toll on my academics.…
During my junior year I experienced failure. I had taken 3 AP classes and I was in cheer at my high school, and trying to figure out a balance between the two was difficult for me because it seemed like cheer took up a lot of my time and in the past other two years it had, but I had managed to still do well in my honors and AP classes. My junior year was another story, I struggled a lot at the beginning of the school year, and most of first semester was spent with me having an F sometimes more than one, and that was a failure to me because I had my heart set on going to a four college or university and I knew that if i had an F i wouldnt qualify.…
I got good grades because I was competitive. I probably ended up being the student I am today because I used to compete with two of my friends in my elementary classes to see who got the higher…
Richie. I simply learned and took in so much information that day, and I realized that it could benefit myself on the test. Before I saw it coming these finals came along, and those endless frustrating study sessions would come to an end. I had several exams from different subjects that I was worried about, but I was not nearly as worried about them as my math final. In the end of these exams I did pass my final exams with a fairly decent percentage although, I had that one final exam to worry about and that was the math final.…

Perfectionism: Unattainably Stressful Perfectionism is in everything I do. Everything always must be a certain way and I must always perform to my unrealistically high standards. Ever since I was a child, I was told that failing was not an option and that giving up was not even a feasible suggestion. I have been working my entire life to not give up and to keep doing my best. Unfortunately, perfection is not attainable and it has been something I have struggled with my entire life in my classes and in work.…
Do Your Homework! Grades are like a rollercoaster ride in a theme park called school.

Grading in the School Systems: Are High Grades Worth the Negative Results? Through my years of being in school, receiving grades always made me nervous, even if I knew that I did well in that course.
