My english teacher Mrs. Ashford has given me a second chance to get a credit in her class. It was the beginning of 9th grade and I was getting A's in all classes and I was able to pass the first 5 weeks of school with stellar grades. I was on the top of my game thinking that my old teachers were telling lies that high school was hard work and a struggle. But boy was I wrong because once the first 5 weeks pasted I started losing motivation and puting less effort into my work and after three weeks I was not doing projects or homework. The funny thing is that I thought I still had all A's but when I got my report I found out that my grades were C's and D's. I was in shock of how I was doing so I asked my teacher Mrs. Ashford if I could get another chance to get my grade up. I was lucky because she gave me a list of all the work I could make up. It really surprised me because most teachers wouldn't let me make up the work. I got my act together and I came out with a B for the first quarter. I was wrong about high school not being hard but I wish I knew it before it was the breaking point. I couldnt have a better teacher than Mrs. Ashford and thats why I picked her for the project.
