I’ll keep this blunt. I feel that I have to a degree upheld my reputation. That reputation is one of a hard working, extremely high scoring student. I started this year hoping to excel in all curriculum. I have lived up to that in certain subjects but, not in others. Two months in, and i'm still trying to adapt to the grading styles of certain teachers. I feel that once, I get that down I will be back on course. The conditions around me while self-imposed do also hinder me academically.
In the beginning of the year, I came into school confident that I could ace Trigonometry, Global, Chemistry. I was and still am admittedly nervous about English. Not because i’m bad at english but, more that i like rushing things and that usually sneaks up on me and nabs me of grades I know i'm capable of.
Let’s talk about Trigonometry, I by no means have failed my reputation in that class. For one, I have a 100 average plus some more points you put on a report card. So, I have upheld my reputation as being good at math. I have to thank my 6th grade teacher for part of that. She made us do three hours of math everyday; no exaggeration. Plus, I have always been more focused towards the Sciences rather than the Arts.

I have no clue if it is my failing or the teachers. For one, the highest grade the teachers given to anyone in lab is a 90. That’s ridiculous in my opinion. The other fault of his, is a failure to properly put in my grades. I’ve had to make him check for my hw about 3 times this quarter. I turn it in and he grades it, but then he gives me a zero. Then I tell him I turned it in. He checks and fixes it; rinse and repeat every week or so. However, some blame can be put on me. I make careless mistakes on the tests, from lack of reading; in an attempt to finish the test in time. These careless mistakes have probably cost me about 5 points in average this quarter, due to the fact we have only had two
