“Two Kinds” In the Shoes of a Prodigy

When I was a young I would always have the same issues arise, FIGHTING!! It was hard to over come I have always been a hothead, which means I get mad really fast even over the little things. People know that they could pick at me easily so they would do it almost everyday. Over the years I got in many fights until one day I got talked to about it. I soon realized that fighting was the thing taking me in and out of school. Fighting was a life that I had to get over, so to get over it I had to find a different way to get my anger out. I started to find real friends to talk to, they would always tell me fighting is the easy way out a real man would walk away. Now when I am thinking about fighting I take a deep breath and walk away even if it's to hard I still try to do it.

My Input for Staff-Teacher Conferences Paragraph

I don't really think my grade is the way it should be, I think I can work harder to get a better grade. The reason for me having this grade was the lack of doing my homework which ended up to me doing it in class which made me miss my warm-ups in class. In class I am good at everything beside the homework issue, I know how to do almost everything but I don't put the time in. The challenges I face is asking for help and doing my work. To improve my grade I just need to stay on top of my work, which means class, and homework. The only way campus adults can help me is if I ask for the help so it's not really on them is on me do ask for the help from them. Also Ms. Priester is here to teach me all she needs to do is make sure I am able to get my homework done that's about it. By the end of this quarter I want to get a high D or C do to the fact that my grade was so low that I can't get it higher than that.
