Yup that’s right. I’ll shut up after I finish writing this (I tend to mumble when i write). Probably, every student on KIS blogs have at least one post about stressful academic life. I promised myself this international blog shall not be my private journal (Ms. Patterson warned us), especially something about my stupid dumb-low grades, but after 5 new updates on Edline, our school’s grade updater for students and parents, I want to burst out into tears on a peaceful Friday night.
It’s been at least 2 months since most teachers updated our grades. And how surprising….
My heart is pumping- my brain is shaking. Why am i freaking out about college, right now, this moment- when I have 2 more years.. Not to be a sick show off.. Although my english may not be perfect, I used to be a perfect A student at Santa Catalina School, a private-at least in the top 50s in the US. But what the HACK is happening with only 3 weeks left of sophomore school year. I have an ugly…. GPA.
A sickly lowering B in math, dangling A-s, and barely living As. It’s not my parents, It’s me. I want my painful high school years to be worth something. Please lord teachers………. HELP ME

I was like that too. Surprisingly I was an all A student back in Seattle.
This is my 3rd year in KIS. I am sort of used to it now. I’ve learned how to deal with ugly grades : )
But obviously, they’re not fun to deal with …

Jung-Ah, I feel you. And I apologize for not updating edline more often. Like you guys procrastinate completing homework assignments, I procrastinate grading. But you’ve got time, and you’re doing swell. Don’t feed into this competitive system of unrealistic expectations and ridiculous competition. Stay true to yourself and you will do beautifully. Let me know if you need anything; just because I won’t be your teacher any more doesn’t mean I’m not still here for you…and wait, you’re in yearbook, aren’t you! Mwah ha ha! skp
