GRRRRades
Friday, November 23rd, 2007When I was in grade 1 and 2, I never had a line of 8. I guess I owe it all to my mom who gave me practice tests at home. Then she thought that I could do it all by myself when I reached the third grade. She was wrong. My grades plunged (not that much though). I got line of 8’s. Then when I got the hang of studying by myself, my grades increased.
When I reached High School, I really loved the subjects and the teachers. So when I was a sophomore, I was in an honors class. While all my classmates were celebrating their high scores, I was feeling sorry for myself for being there because of the grades that I received. I felt out of place in that section. Thankfully, my classmates weren’t evil. They didn’t leave me alone. During my junior year, I was in a general section. Woohoo! My grades, up to my senior year, were ok.
When I first stepped into college, I was too complacent. I really thought it wasn’t far off from High School. Surprise surprise, I got low grades! I realized that it didn’t affect me as much as it did to my parents. I knew my mistakes and I learned from it. I managed to pull it up during the second semester.
Now, it’s my second year in college. My grades are ok, except for 1. It bothers me a lot that I had that grade for pre-finals. I’ve put a lot of effort into it, I KNOW I’ve done my best, and yet i received that measly grade. This is the only instance in school when I felt that I don’t deserve the grade I received. I already had low grades before, but I know it was my fault. This one, I couldn’t really get why.
