Grades

Oh wonderful, glorious grades. The stress of every teens life as the end of the nine weeks is quickly approaching. The pressure to get those last few points to make your grade a little more acceptable. Working your butt off on those last few assignments so that you can try and hope to bring your grade up. This is how my life has been for the past couple of weeks. Grades have been the main thing on my mind. I have always been a straight "A" student and that is the standard that my parents and myself hold me to. That is a lot of pressure when I am taking all honors classes along with one AP class. I currently have three "B"s. That is the most I have ever had at one point in time and one of them is a borderline "C". Thinking about grades just makes me want to cry. Grades are so stressful and it is all I think about anymore. I am so sick of feeling like I can't get a break with grades. I think I'm doing good in a class and then a quiz comes along and I don't do so good and my grade drops drastically. Everyone said that sophomore year would be the hardest but I am starting to think that junior year is going to be a lot worse. I would only have one or two "B"s at a time last year and now I have three. On a scale of one to ten of stress, grades are a twenty. Grades are the worst part about school. I can understand a topic but just completely fail the tests because of how questions are worded. I hate worrying about my grades all day every day. I just wish all the stress of school would just disappear.
