Turk's Story

[Turk]

Here is my story, things which been on my mind lately which I have to write down.

Let's see I am going to start the story at 8th grade. In 8th grade I tried my best in school but, in math unfortunately no. I was so tired of math (Algebra at the time) I did the assignments in all but, when it started coming towards the end of the year I started slacking in Math getting D's F's and pretty much not do the quizzes/tests the teacher handed us. I promised myself I will try in math next year (present time). The first term I turned in my assignments did good on tests/quizzes but, I found out I had a D in Math still. At this point I'm thinking “Wow I tried my hardest to get at least a C in this class but I got a D” and I'm just like screw it I give up in Math but, I still need the assignments and tests/quizzes still and homework eh, I was missing 1 or 2 assignments.

Another reason why I quite math was because I wanted to be a Historian when I left high school;I love history! I did research on historians and saw that they need to be good at English and history. Check! I am good at both of these, I am past my level for Reading, I write quite good as you can see, and shoot I know everything our teacher is teaching us about History! I don't need math, all I need is history and writing that's all!

Present times...about 1 or 2 weeks ago I took a Math Quiz and I was 100% sure I knew I could at least!at least! Get a C on this quiz because I actually understood it. I was excited to get this quiz back because I KNEW I did good on it. Unfortunately I get the quiz back and guess what...I got a 60% a D-. Damn, I am so proud of myself. Which at this point I am just like screw it, math is not for me on homework assignments which I do not understand I simply will not do them at all.(I did not understand the homework because I chose not to listen to the teacher). So that means I did not do about six assignments which are about five points each. I guarantee the teacher is thinking “Man what is this kid doing, he has a D in my class!”(which is most likely going to be a F soon) Anyways, I don't want a F on my report card so I am going to try and “sustain” my D (no sexual reference intended). That means when winter break comes I am going to do all the assignments I am missing.

In all I give up in Math I am bad at it, I don't care about it I am just going to worry about my other classes. Especially History and English because I want to become a Historian I already know what college I plan on going to UCLA because they have a major in history there. Well there is my life story which I just had to say.

Have you thought about asking a teacher for help?

Step 1. Listen to the teacher.

Step 2. Do the work.

Step 3. Profit.

Seriously, your problem in Maths is that you don't listen to the teacher. That might not help. Also, I'm unsure if your 'I write good as you can see,' is just a bit of irony or not. Hopefully it is.

New to here and I already don't like you, not trying to be offensive I was typing quite fast and didn't read over this work because personally I am lazy. Anyway,when like I said when I did listen to the teacher,did my homework and understood the work I still got D's on my test and that point I gave up and stopped listening to the teacher. What I am trying to say is listening to the teacher like you said does not help.

It does not matter if you were typing fast. Good grammar should be a habit, not something to think about, especially if you are good at english. (Unlike myself - at least compared to other subjects.)

If you listened, did your work and understood it you should not get a D. (Although I don't exactly know your school's standard.) A D shows that you do NOT have a full and thoroughunderstanding of the topic at hand. Therefore you did NOT understand the work, and simply thought you did.

Lots of people on here don't seem to like me as evidenced by my hidden-but-not-actually rep. I seem to disagree with the consensus in the thread too much.

A side note - if I got a D on an English exam, I would be very pleased. This is because D = Distinction, and that's (almost) never bad in your worst subject.

Ok we are going a bit off topic now talking about my English, the thing is I just made this topic to see what people say about it or even tips. What you have been saying is negative and this is a dead topic.
