Growth Mindset

A challenge I faced this school year was having to control my own mind. I often struggle with keeping focus, and whether it is because I am still a child, or because I'm facing some sort of disability, I cant focus on one thing at a time. I struggled with projects, assignments, and big things like essays and homework, but then I found out I can turn them into something of a fun game. Whenever i have a project, i decorate the slideshows to make it more appealing to me, and when i have an assignment due, i do small chunks of it at a time. for homework, i work on it in small time periods like thirty or thirty-five minutes at a time. I still do struggle with focusing, and I wish my teachers would see that rather than assuming im doing something im not supposed too. 

Another challenge i faced was grade. i have always been a decent kid, have A's, B's, and the occasional C's, but seventh grade was especially hard and crushing on my grade. after losing a ton of motivation since the start of the year, my grade have been slowly dropping, and then i figured out i dont have to care about my grades, and that not thinking about them takes that stress off my back to be the perfect student, that i will always mess up sometimes, and i wish that was something my parents could accept. yes, i will have missing assignments, i will always have late projects, and i will always have low grades from time to time, it completely normal.
