Hey, Sam? Uhm, my report card came in the mail today + I passed everything except for my Geometry class.. I'm gonna have to retake it during the year along w/ the next class. I feel so stupid though, like as much as I got the help, it + (Claire, 1)
never really clicked. I’m horrible at math + I’m already nervous for my next year b/c of these classes. I want to refresh myself this summer, take better care of myself. But now I just feel worse + I don’t know how to prepare for it all.
Hey Claire.
You passed all of the other subjects? That’s really good! Some people just aren’t math people and there isn’t anything wrong with that. Maybe you could get a tutor or ask a friend to help you out? There’s nothing wrong with just not being good at a subject.
Plus, it’s just one class, and it wasn’t your final exams either. Exams aren‘t even all that important. Contrary to what teachers probably have you believe, these exam scores don’t define your opportunities in life. The reason teachers stress on scores so much is that class scores reflect back on the teacher (I think). You could try your best in your finals and still fail a subject, and does that mean you can’t do what you want in life? Nope. If you need the subject and fail it, you can take a class in college for it to earn the qualification necessary.
Just remember, exams aren’t everything and they don’t define your life. You have plenty of time, try not to stress yourself out.
Always keep fighting.
Love, Sam.
