In high school, students get used to slacking off and procrastinating however teachers seemed like they did not care to help discourage these bad habits.…

Her thoughts whirl around in the back of her head constantly ticking through what she believes are the worst possibilities. She ponders of failing a test, not getting into the best high school, not having enough time to study, not completing all her homework, and not meeting the expectations of her parents. Her mind constantly just worries as if can no longer fathom relaxation. On the outside she keeps a blank expression and walks on; the student avoids meeting the eyes of the other students also competing in the game of "who can get into the best college and make his/her parents proud".…
