So many math problems, English books to read, and science questions to answer. Why was middle school such a stress? Why wasn’t I excelling? Why wasn’t I prepared? Where had my future gone? Then I realized my first C was actually bringing me down. The further I got into school, the more I realized I had to study more. The more I realized I could not just fly through things and it would not be as easy as the previous year was. Then with parents working or too tired once they get home to help. I was all alone thus I knew I could do it. The “smart black girl” was actually a positive and not negativity brought to my ears. I took that and made myself better; I studied on my own, tutored after school, and even got help from my peers. Before you know it, there was the next awards ceremony. I walked across the stage to receive my A/B honor roll certificate with my mom sitting in the crowd cheering and smiling. I knew she was happy therefore I was happy. As a result, everything paid off and I was back on track. All the extra work was worth
