Chapter One:
The Failing Genius
1/5/12 2:27AM
I stare at the computer screen. The words black and white. F, D, D+, F, F, C. My grades. This is what fuels the non-stop arguments with my mom and I. The nights always end with me in my bed crying myself to sleep. Promising to myself that I would do better, yet I still end up with the results. F, D, D+, F, F, C. I ace all of my tests, and yet, because of my homework, I still fail. Not to mention that I'm absent half the time because I've been getting sick so much. I'm not denying the things that are holding me back, I'm just not fixing the problems at hand. I know I'm not stupid, but I'm not showing it. I feel miserable all the time. I can't sleep, I feel sick to my stomach all the time. Am I truly falling apart all over again?
