I barley even survived the 1st quarter because my grades weren't really the best. The grades that I got was my own fault for being extra stupid, retarded, and lazy. I hope that I can improve myself in the future, not for myself but for my parents. I'm pretty sure that the teachers will help me out if I ask for help, but I always get afraid to ask because when I do, people start smacking their lips and looking at me like I'm the dumbest person in the world because I don't know something that everyone else in the class does. There should really be tooters in the school for situations like this, and if there is already is, then I'll feel stupid for not knowing that.
