Hello, everybody. I'm tigEro1426, and considering I've started high school this year, I've been working really hard to come up at top within most of my classes. I'm really academic focused, I often ask for extension booklets from teachers, and I'm involved in academic clubs, such as Future Problem Solving. I've written a lot, but, please, just bare with me. I just want you, as readers, to fully understand my situation.
Before I had started high school, the other new students, and I had to take entrance examinations to see where each student would be placed in which academic class. We had three hours worth of examinations: English, mathematics, and writing. These examination tested us on the skills a year eight student should, in theory, know already. In result of my examinations, I was placed in the academic band '9B2'. There are eighteen different academic bands for both year nine, and year ten students, which are: A1 - A6, B1 - B6, and C1 - C4; A1 being the highest (English, and mathematics extension), and C4 being the lowest (people who are as brain-dead as a zombie is). So, with that, I had done good, but I felt like I can do better. So, that kick-started my desire to do really well, and, hopefully, to move up academic classes. Within my classes, there were so many people who would just play games, talk too loudly, or too much, and so on. To me, they didn't seem to be trying at all, and keep in mind that this is most of my class. A lot of them were told off, and given detentions, and such. I thought to myself that they didn't care so much about school as I did. But, that didn't drop my spirits to do really well.
I tried really hard through out the entirety of the first half of the year. I always tried to work as productive as possible, ask questions regarding work if I didn't understand something, and so on. I was excited for my mid-year examinations, I really tried hard, and I felt like I could do really good. So, after I had attended, and sat all of my examinations, I felt I had done really bad; I didn't know what I was expecting, and I didn't know how others within my classes would stack up to me. So, when I received my results, I was disappointed. I was still in 9B2, and, even worse, on the first day after students had received their results, most of the people within my class either: Stayed where they were, or were moved up, but still attend the same classes as I do.
If you need more information, or medical information (which I don't know affects my performance), ask me.
