This year and in previous years I’ve always felt stuck when it comes to history. I try to pay attention in class and take good notes but when it comes to assignments and tests it is hard for me to remember things and then I get frustrated and just don’t do it. This year has been one of the toughest years ever and it is hard for me to deal with it. I just transferred from public to private school and moved to a whole new state. I just see that my classmates understand all of their assignments and get them turned in and it honestly just feels like I’m the dumbest person in the classroom. Most of my classmates have been in private school their whole lives so it is just hard to compete with them. It’s just been difficult adapting to this new life since everything used to come easy for me. But I feel like I have a great teacher but it’s still hard. I just sometimes don’t wanna ask for help because I don’t wanna be treated like an I’m a charity case or something.
Jordyn,
You ARE NOT a charity case. My job is to help you and your job is to ask for help. I need you to try to do the reading. Then I can help you with it. But you have to try. Sometimes it is hard. But notice on the hardest ones we do go over them in class.
Let’s make a plan ASAP on how to get you caught up. You definitely can do this. But giving up is not an option.
