So far life has been pretty uneventful, the usual blur of school life wakeup,go to school, come home,procrastinate on homework, eat, sleep and Do it all again.
Well that was until the bright day of the petition.this was no ordinary petition,nothing but an outcry of my fellow schoolmates about the unfair grading system in our school Franklin D. Roosevelt high school. An of course I say these words with the utmost dramatization, you'll see if you read on.
It all started in the middle of my Trigonometry class when th girl next to me had passed a paper saying to me that we're trying to get signatures to petition against the unfair grading system. Now when she handed me the paper it was basically blank with a few signatures on it, and as usual I didn't think at all about what it could really mean. I was thinking how I'm gonna finally get a good grade in chemistry because 70% my grade for the class came from test scores which at none too cute and 10% for attendance,participation and homework. Considering my 73% average in chemistry I was all for it totally disregarding the invalidity of the petition with no statement as to what we are petitioning for. But no worries before class ended we were mad a war of the faulty petition. No harm done there.
But where harm was done was where the paper had come from in the beginning. Turns out the paper had come from the guidance office, let's take a minute to really think about where it came from TH GUIDANCE OFFICE where kids at given guidance in their life, we were totally set up for failure from the start. I don't know what type of mix up happened in th office but what I do know is that TH whole thing was a bust, an here I am almost month late blogging about it. Still 70% of my grades come from my failing test grades but I guess there was Lesson in this whole fiasco.
DON'T sign your name on a Blank paper and to Work harder for better grades . I guess I am making some progress I've scored a 73% on my last chemistry test and an 83% on my Trigonometry test an I'm seeing my progress but pretty soon I might just be seeing another failing grade becAuse we just started a hard topic in both of my worst subjects chemistry-Bonding and trigonometry-multiplying adding subtracting fraction and not th fractions your thinking of I'm dealing with fractions with variables, fractions being divided by fractions like what the hell life can you calm down a bit. Gosh I sound so ungrateful right now here I am with the opportunity of. Free education and I'm complaining.I guess. nothing will lessen the weight of all the homework I have sitting in my bag. I should probably go do my homework now, by guys
