It’s a warm fall day in September. It was the second week of school when everyone got their schedules, and I am going over mine with my friend to see if we have some of the same classes, but it was only for two classes. One was math, and another was programming class. We both never had a problem with math, so we were fine with that, but programming was something we never did before. I thought it was going to be another class that I have to sit through and just do the work. I was sitting in class and listening to the teacher talk about what the class is going to be and the things we will do in this class. So far is going how the other classes went and I am not very interested right now. The next day in class he tells us to take out the computers so we can get to programming.At first nobody knew what to do because he didn’t teach us anything yet. After nobody knew what to do so my teacher says play with it for 10 minutes and I do. I try to see what I can do. I start playing with it and made the program to make multiple squares repeatedly. My teacher notices this and tells us that time is up. I wanted to keep going but he said he wanted to show us something important. I didn’t know what to expect, my teacher opened up his computer and showed us what he was doing in the 10 minutes he gave us. He made a program that makes it look like stars twinkling in the galaxy and I was impressed with it because he was able to be creative with what little time he had. Two weeks had passed, and I was becoming more and more interested in in the programming class, but my grades didn’t show it. I wasn’t doing with the homeworks I was given because of laziness. So, after class I had my programming teacher wanted to speak with me.I was really nervous because I knew what he wanted to talk about, but I didn’t want to talk about it.Before we talked about my grades, he asked me what I wanted to do in life. At the time I didn’t know the answer to that question, so I said I don’t know. When he heard my response, he asked another question which what was is something you like to do. I told him I like to play games and that I liked programming. He said he was going to show me something on his laptop and when i went to see it was a soccer game he made. Then he said that he found something he wanted to do in life by doing something he enjoys doing. He also said you can’t have a goal without having some tough times, these are your tough time. Learn to be able to do everything you need to do first before you focus on one thing. To quote his word he said “Schools and teachers like me are here to make students who they need to become “after that he made time during his lunch to give me a study room quiet time so I can do the other classes work.I was able to do better with the time that he has given me but it wasn’t enough.I was still falling behind from my other classmates.I was starting to worry that I just wasn’t a smart enough student to pass the grade.

During my  the year my parent teacher conference was coming up and I didnt want to go mostly because of the grade and I didnt want my parents to see that but unfortunately they already knew that I had one.On the car ride their my parents kept asking me why was I nervous and is there something that I need to be worried about.I felt like they already knew about my grade but they wanted to hear it from my voice themselves but I told them that their shouldn’t be anything to worry about.The more closer I got to the school the more nervous I was and finally we get to the school to meet my teachers.First it was my English teacher mostly because they wanted to hear from her first mostly do to that the class I have the most trouble in.Everything I expected to hear came true.She talked about how I wasn’t getting the best grade from my work and how I would get distracted in the middle of class which led to me not doing the best with my classwork either.I could tell that my parents wanted to find out the reason behind this so I told them I just get uninterested in doing writing work and that causes me to lose my train of thought when trying to do work.After that it was my social studies teacher.i was better with social studies rather than english so it wasn’t as bad.He mostly said the same thing as the social studies teacher which was I get distracted in class.My parents asked the same question again and I gave her the same response.Finally we get to my programming teacher.I wasn’t to nervous with him but he gave my parents a response I didn’t expect.He told them the same thing the other teachers said.I thought to myself what I did wrong but he told me to let him finish what he was saying.He said that he’s making an attempt to do better in his class but that I should do what I do with him with the other teachers.He says once they see you trying to do better in their class you can see the improvement in your grades.After that he said he was gonna make me a deal.I will keep doing my work in his class as study hours but i must also do the same with the other teachers to prove that i’m actually trying to be a better student.I said sure at first because my parents was there but after thinking about it more I realized it was gonna be hard for me mostly because I didnt really talk to other teachers besides him.The next day at lunch I tried to give it a chance I went to my social studies teacher for a week and the more I went the more nicer the teacher seemed and the easier the work has gotten.The same was said about the english class but it took me three weeks to be better.Of course I wasnt the best but I did make improvemnt with my grades and felt proud about it as well.
