Some of the seniors were enjoying the last few weeks of school. I was in the library doing any work that needed to be turned in and studying for the test. I would get distracted from the noise of the construction and mostly from the laughter and chatter coming from the courtyard. I had to ignore it and get focused. I would go the library for at least two hours after school. The noise of the construction and the care free seniors where fading away, as I was sinking in to my work. A couple weeks later, when the seniors had a week left of school, I walked in to class. I saw Ismael sitting in the same spot he sat in the first day of class and with the same yellow shirt. He asked “Are you going to retake the test?” I responded, “Yeah I have to, I haven’t been studying for nothing.” I walked towards Mrs. Longoria and told her, “I’m ready to retake the test.” she just told me, “Ok, here you go. Good luck.” Walking back to my seat I flipped through the two pages filled with 20 questions and thought I need to pass this. Getting ready to take the test Ismael said, “Don’t think about it too hard, you’ll do good.” I said, “Thanks.” I got right into the test, focused and determined to get a better grade than the last time. Once I completed the test I looked over it a couple times making sure I answered and completed all the questions. There were a few questions I was unsure of but I felt I did better this time. I got up from my seat nervously and handed to Mrs. Longoria. She looked at me and said “I’m going to grade it right now.” I just watch as she went over my test with a red pen marking the answers that were wrong, seeing some red marks on the test made me thinking I didn’t do well. Mrs. Longoria finished grading it and handed it to me with a smile. I was confused why she was smiling and I took the test and saw the grade I got. I was surprise and proud that the work I put in paid off. I received a B. I walked back to my seat smiling
