Story of truth..
I gave them my report card. Sure she was going to flip out, I braced myself for the unstoppable. She didn't. I was surprised. Very surprised, but not shocked. She sat me down and said "Janet, I think we need to talk. You got report cards today. Where is yours?" Looking puzzled, I spat back, "I was going to give it to you when Dad came home!" Calmy and cooly she said, "That's not a smart choice. I am the one more interested in your high school career. Give it to me please"
Surprised that she hadn't spun my head in a blender, I gave it to you. The look on her face destroyed me, putting me into one of those 'dont talk to me' moods. I sat and listened to her talk for about an hour, shaking my head and saying yes; agreeing with everythin she said. It was all true anyways, I knew that. I had nothing to fight about; no reason to object. I felt like an idiot. I was an idiot. I need to work harder. I need to set myself on a goal, and go for it. I need to concentrate on something and get it done. I need not distraction and the internet. I laughed at that one; it was quite necessary. I've been living off my computer thus far into the school year, no wonder why they moved it downstairs.
My mom continued her lecture as I stared and shook my head. "So, come on baby, let's go start geometry."
And that was that. I'm not grounded, I'm going to WYA, I'm in no trouble. But, I agree with her. I should be punishing myself. I think her logic is quite...logical! I am punishing myself for only putting out 75% of my effort. She's right though. I did punish myself and I can proudly say that I will bring my grades up and do the best I can. Because I can.
Love,
xoxo
