My grades are good for every class except for my computers class.I am a couple days behind because I did not have my book to do my homework. I know It is not a good way to start the semester but I will not fail the class. I am not going to go through High school habits and give up. I will try my best and be the young adult I am. When I talked to Brittney about this question she told me she barely passed. She was too busy being social that she did all her work last minute and not receiving high grades. She did better by taking responsibility and setting her priorities straight.
Brittney learned the hard way by almost failing her classes. She was too busy being social and doing her work last minute that she barely passed by. I believe that is the hard way I do not want to experience. Her advice was to remember this conversation. This conversation relates a lot to
