Hard times in school

Last year we took so many test I began to think that was what school was all about. It was interesting to see how many people actually passed the eleventh grade. I know they say that the eleventh grade is your hardes year but I was not as prepared as I thought I was. Twelth grade is ok but I am ready to graduate. This year all that is on my mind is graduating. Being in school for twelve years is a bit much. I'm not even going to get on financial cost. Every year since tenth grade I have done cheerleading, year year our cost have come up to two hundred and eighyt eight dollars; talk about being broke. Today in time it seems like you have to pay to be a senior. I have to pay for senior dues, graduation packet, cheerleading warmups and shoes, our school pagent etc. We even have to pay for our seats and graduation certificate. Right now I am in det gass prices are going down but who knows how long that will last. I know that if I can get threw this year I can get threw anything. Until I graduate I hope that I can handle everything that is happening this year.

Hello Lani,

I am sorry it took so long to respond but problems and assignments are to blame for my miss calculated timing. Being that I have read your commit it has encouraged me to do better and believe more than I did before. Until you explained to me how much teachers and students are alike I had no idea. You would never know how much we are alike because of how teachers tend to treat their students. Through the years teachers have not given their students a chance to act like young adults, they fill their class up with busy work and expect you not to do it. At times I feel that they just way to find an easier way for them to grade. Yes, I have been in school for a while but I now realize how far I have come. Starting school I like my classmates could not read, write, or conduct ourselves properly, not only did school teach me but it also made me a better person. I know now that it is a privilege to go to school and get an education. Some children don’t have that chance and would give anything to do so. At times school can be hard but I think I am going to use the quotes that you have suggested. I tend to be more pessimistic that optimistic about school especially. I think you for listening to what I feel is important for the world to know and I think you for responding. And yes I have thought of all the possibilities for this year. I am still pending on if that might affect the way I deal with challenges although you have already made a huge change in my direction.

Sincerely,
Tavon
