So Far Not So Good

My first honors (biology) class ever and I manage to mess it up. I'm sitting in class stuned by my horrible test grade wondering why. I'm usually good at my science stuff especialy cells and what not. I figure oh I can recoil from this it's only one bad grade, and decide to avoid telling my parents about this one and lie just a little. Even though I know I'm gonna need to step it up im to proud to admit it. So mid-terms come in the mail, Oh boy my Parents had a cow about it. A D+ in a biology honors class didn't fly with my parents. So explained the situation, but that didn't quite do it, they wanted to know I would get a B or above. So I assured them that I would fix it and make it all better. So my next test comes and I was so confident I would do great. I took the test, flew threw it with great confidence, and turned it in with a smile on my face. Then about 3 three days later we were getting our test back. I'm so excited this is gonna fix it I'm telling myself It's gonna shoot that D right up to a C or B. Then the paper land on my desk, I turn it over so excited. I see the papaer and all my excitment relinquishes I'm greeted with a 52 %, she nailed me with incomplete sentences. I wanna hurl, #1) I'm highly disapointed in myself, #2) My parents are gonna kill me, #3) I'm probably failing the class. On the bus ride home I wanna just fall asleep and hope my bus driver forgets me (witch in the end does happen). So I get off the bus and my dad asks how I did, " Umm I got a B-". Turns out she called him and told him what I got. I get the lecture and what not, and once again I assure him I'll fix it. Two or Three weeks pass and we have lot's of homework and stuff so I bring it up to a 74%, I'm pretty proud of myself. We've got another test coming and all no worries, right I'm doing great. I take the test and I knew it all I thinking B at least. So I get my results today, I was PISSED! A 61%, she docked me 10 points outta 56 for supposedly incomplete sentences. So I bring it home and check it out, I find that my my sentences are complete. They are slightly gramaticly incorrect but complete. So tomorrow I plan to put her on the spot and ask her why their incomplete. If she has a reason I want an up front answer if she doesn't give me one im gonna see that it's corrected. If she refuses I'll have my parents make a call or two. However I plan to see that this is taken care of.

Lying NEVER works out. Just be up front. It will pay off in the long run. Keep trying, you can get that grade up. You are a smart kid.

Trent you can get that grade up, no problem. Also, your an absolutely horrid liar, you can see it in your eyes. Honesty is the best way to go.
