I failed 9th first go around...left with not 1 full credit. Got to 10th and just about did the same exact thing, except skipping was introduced to me. Missed about 30 or so days of 10th each semester, but luckily got by with a little last minute effort. The trick is to just stick it out...Do not drop out, for you will live up to what everyone expects of you. You have to go against the "groups" they classify you as portraying. This year feels a little different, maybe I will try for honor roll. Albeit this year has only consist of 1.4 weeks thus far...
