But now that I am on...I can't even type it..MERIT, I have no chance for getting on honor society. My friends could care less because they are not the ones getting grades like this. I know people get these grades most of the time or even worst but I was always a straight A student and then all of a sudden 6th grade came. That was probably my worst year ever because I had this kid in my class who got the best grades in the school. We had been rivals since kindergarten. But of course she always beat me. So all year I had to deal with her shouting her amazing grades in my ear and it just disturbed me. Even the teachers admitted that was my weakness. If I fell trap to her I would blow my chance for any honors classes. Well I fell trap. Luckily I looked at each of my grades and sought out what ones I still had a chance for honors on and it was english. So I tried so hard to keep my english grades up and studied so hard for that final. It all paid off and now I am on honors english! Of course that is the only honors class my friend IS NOT in so I have something to be proud of. But not anymore. She did so well that now she is going on honors english next quarter and maybe even my class. Great. I hate school it is just a big competition for who is smart and who is not and I'm not sure which I am in right now. Thanks for letting me vent on here only Pet Talkers would understand.
