My Life’s turning point
I remember junior high school as being awkward do you? As a young person you try to figure what was,what is and what will be?
In ninth grade i had to take Algebra and this where my life turned. I stayed after school, had my mom tutor me. I would get frustrated with my palms sweating, thinking to myself why am I so dumb?
I recieved a test back one day that I had failed, I started to cry, other students looking at me. I was being left behind, what will be of me?
The other night it was parent teacher night for my son’s ninth grade classes. I went to his Algebra class and waited for the teacher to ask the parents if they had any questions? The room was quiet ,so,I asked if he was going to teach?
If there was a turning point in my life academically I would say it was the day I recieved that test back with tears in my eyes with the other students and the teacher looking at me.So my life has been knowing that I am not as smart as most, defeated I go on. Where did your life turn?
