The first week of my new year has gone pretty good so far. I like the classes that I got. In each class we learn something new everyday. Today in math class our teacher had us do a pretest on sequences. Either to find the common difference or the common multiplier. I honestly had no clue what I was doing. I got the first problem I had to do but all the other ones, I was lost. I asked the teacher to help me and she did. After a while I still didn't know what I was doing. I took my time to ask my team mate and she helped me but yes, I was still lost. The timer then rang and we had to turn in one paper for the teacher to grade. She showed us how to solve the first problems using either Arithmetic or Geometric sequence. She explained to us as much as she could but unfortunately it was time to head on over to our next class. So if you ask me, my first day of Algebra 2 didn't go as planned. I came to the start of junior year with my head high and positive thoughts, but right now after I took the test, my spirits just went low. I have a tendency to give up quick. Which I know I shouldn't but I don't know. I feel like if I can't accomplish everything I won't accomplish anything. I have so many people that tell me "I believe in you" and I believe them when they tell me, but its like I don't believe in myself. My past ninth and tenth grade, I didn't do good. I had summer school this past summer for the classes that I failed during both years. I have so much confidence in myself but if I mess up on one thing, then I have a tendency of messing up everything else. I will still continue to keep my head high for the rest of the school year and have confidence in myself as well. Maybe if I keep my thoughts on the positive side I should be good. Who knows, only time will tell what will happen throughout life. Patience is key and that's all I need.
