mom gives me extra homework to do after school. but lately with volleyball and school homework, i haven’t even touched the folder. so now mom is making me do it on weekends. but that also proves to be difficult since mom is always making plans for us to go outside. so now i have to do it during fall break. when i was choosing my specials for my 7th grade schedule, mom put me in HS Algebra I. and ever since i got a B in that class, mom is printing out HS Algebra II sheets for me to do. i was so happy to find that i had a B in Algebra. at the start of the year, i was at a D in that class. my teacher was really excited as well, we talked about my tests and homework. my algebra class is mostly 8th graders and i got 90% on all of my tests. the 8th graders did way worse than me. of course if i told my mom that, she wouldn’t care. so here i am now with 2 sheets of Algebra II work that doesn’t make any sense to me. what in the world is a trigonometric ratio and polynomial? i want to ask dad but he’s working and he’ll yell at me for being stupid. if i ask TD she’ll complain about how mom shouldn’t be giving me extra work. the sheets say it’s Algebra I but TD tells me she didn’t learn this stuff until last year. last year, TD was in Algebra II. not only that, mom is comparing all my grades this year to last year’s grades. i got all A’s all year, last year. but this first quarter this year, was 2 A’s 4 B’s and a C. and mom is blaming it all on volleyball. sure, volleyball has taken up a lot of my extra time, but i do best when doing last minute projects. and i enjoy volleyball with all my heart. i always keep in mind that i can be put on probation from volleyball if my grades drop, even more the reason why i AM trying my hardest. i got a C in english. i am actually very strong in english and grammar and all my assignments were turned in and my essays as well. it was probably from the online work. during those weeks of online school, i missed quite a bit of work, cause i don’t know how to use technology. anyways, whenever i talk about my dream jobs to my mom,(photographer)she HAS to remind me that they don’t make a lot of money unless they’re really skilled. then she goes on about how she dreamed about being a lawyer or an engineer. and then she goes on about how i should be a lawyer or and engineer. then she somehow convinces me to agree that i should be a lawyer or an engineer.
can someone just tell my mom that i probably can’t be the smartest and i won’t be successful?
