Question Posted Saturday April 28 2007, 6:46 pm

I got this letter, from the highschool that i will be attending, and it says like, how they think that i'd be good for this program called 'connections' and how it helps with test taking, problem solving, and stuff like that. and they want me and my parents to go to some meeting about it.

but, isn't that for dumb kids? like doesn't that sound like thats what its for?

and its from the guidance cousler people, so i basicallly dont think everyone is getting it.

but see i dont understand, im not stupid.
i have mostly all As and Bs. i have 2 Cs. and thats in like math and social studies. and ive only gotten the C on my report card like once this year. i mean ive gotten a c in math this whole year, but thats still passing. even a D is still passing. so i dont get that, why i did i get this letter?

im like freaking outttt.

You should be honored that they're trying to help. It doesn't mean that you're dumb, but that you could be better at test taking. Doing this program will make those weaknesses stronger & a lot better for you. Just try it out. Other kids could be struggling while you're acing these tests. And if you don't like the program then tell them that. But don't knock it til you try it.

hey, im not exactly sure. dont freak out though. there could be a lot of good things coming out from attending the meeting with your parents. you should ask around and see if any of your other friends got the suggestion for the meeting as well. theres no need to hide the fact that you did. there going to eventually find out anyways because they will know that your not home and that your somewhere and they will probably know other people in the program as well. they will also get mad if they find out and that you lied to them or just didnt tell them. anyways, about the good things coming out of this meeting. you parents may think that your more responsible because your taking charge and wanting to do better. that might lead to more freedom, trust, etc. also if you do decide to join and get better grades, that might also lead to the stuff i said above. my advice would be to go check it out. if your dead set on not joining, ask yourself why. if its for a legitmately good reason, than so be it. if its because something shallow like there are all nerds there or whatever, then suck it up. it couldnt be that bad. if it is, you can always quit. thats only if your really miserable tho, because i dont like when people become quiters. good luck.
