Have you ever looked at the last day of school on the calender? And while looking at it, thought, Only three and a half weeks of school left. I can do this.
Well, I thought the same thing when I was in fifth period algebra today. I've (and probably several of the algebra students) been dreading the end of course exams forever. It's three hours of torture with nothing but algebra and I don't even know how to graph a parabola. And for some people math just comes smoothly. They see a math problem and it's like click! in their head. And to be honest, I'm kinda jealous. Kinda. I really hope I don't fail.
The last day of school is approaching, slowly but surely. And when I look at the last day of school date, I just imagine what it will be like. This might sound corny and all, but it's what I imagine it will be. I imagine the sun shining (please please please let it be sunny), empty backpacks, ecstatic teenagers, a smile on everybody's face, and stuff like that. I'm not pointing fingers, but some people have just given up because they think that we don't have to do as much work, given that it's the end of the school year. But the end of the year is when you need to try your very hardest. This is what a lot of teacher's say, and I think it's their passive-aggressive way of saying, 'You're not trying hard enough.'
But don't let that get you down. If a teacher says that to you, just think about the positive side of it. If you got good grades all throughout the school year (and even those who are struggling in some subjects) and if you do good at the end of the year, you will have a good life. I know that's a big "if", but it's worth it to think about the positive side. It encourages you.
So please, for everybody's sake and yours especially, try your hardest at the end of the year. You might miss fun times with friends, but you'll make up for it in the summer. Approximately three months of freedom!
Don't give up yet.
