    Another thing that I look at is that on that specific test I know that many other kids did bad on it, this is an honors class so it’s odd that so many kids did bad on a test. I’m not blaming the teacher but I also feel that it’s not my fault completely. I’m trying to ignore it and understand that there are bumps in the path to success that I have to overcome.…

    There have been a few times over the last couple of years when I felt that I was robbed of an opportunity that I should have been given. One of these times just occurred this year as we transitioned into the second semester at school, and the situation dealt with my class schedule.
