For my first assignment in this grade, I was asked to write about my summer vacation. Because I did not really have a summer vacation I am going to use the time that was supposed to be my vacation for this assignment. That time was from July 1st 2023 through August 6th 2023.
I had thought that I was nearly done with 7th Grade! One math exam and one essay stood in my way. That weekend I completed those assignments and we began looking over my school assignments for the entirety of my 7th grade year. Assignments were missing left and right. Many essays did not meet the requirements set by Mr. Fish or Daniel Dignan, my teachers for History, English, and Science. As for Math, I had failed two of my six tests, and I didn’t know because I hadn’t checked the answers to all of the problems. The result of this was that I had to retake all of the exams. With just a month to complete many, many missed assignments, all my math tests, a 12 week fitness program assignment, and much else, you may be wondering how I pulled through to begin 8th grade English, and you might also wonder why I’m writing this on August 16, 10 days after I was supposed to start school (as of updating: 16 days). Well, the answer is this: I worked all summer on my school clear up through July 30 (yes I worked on the weekends too, but I didn’t do as much). This whole time I was basically in a grounded state. I could not do activities, talk on the phone, play video games, etc. All I was doing was school and having emotional breakdowns about school. Every couple hours I would have breakdown and be frustrated and angry and sad that I had to spend my summer doing school of all things. In case you haven’t read any of my other essays, summer is my favorite season. Hardly being able to enjoy it is very very very frustrating. Mom decided to make a plan for school for me that makes me work a little into next summer, but divides it into controllable bits for me to work on throughout the year. Then I started Science 8 and Personal Finance on time, (I’m still doing the 12 week fitness program), and I just started English. Only earlier today (As of updating: 6 days ago) I completed my last assignment for English 7, and I’m still behind on Math and History. History I will complete six days from today (As of updating: today), I have no clue when I will be done with math though. In short, my summer was only summer school. We did have on week for summer camp, which I am very lucky to have gotten.
Basically, I was miserable for the majority of the summer. You, the reader, could not possibly fathom how good it feels to finally share this trouble in detail in a typed format. Thank you for reading to the end, it really means a lot to me.
This was the essay that I lengthened to 2 pages for lesson 5
