“Yes! Today I have gotten straight A’s” I thought as I instilled the progress reports in my binder getting ready to show it to my mom. I couldn’t wait… The day passes slowly each hour feeling like an eternity. I get on the afterschool bus and start to talk to anyone that is willing to talk. Time flies pretty quickly till I finally arrive to my house; I get in the elevator and mark 10. The elevator opens and I rush to the door at my house ringing the bell 3 times like I do every day. I walk in and I notice my mom isn’t at home yet, and also heard that my mom was really mad at my little brother (my middle brother –Zachary.) Anyways I followed my daily routine till I finally had a chance to show my grades to my mom. I walk to her feeling great and happy with myself I show my mom my grades. Unfortunately the first paper was Algebra which was an A- which made her mad for some reason I don’t know why. I mean it’s not like I need major modifications, and I feel like I did a good job like I promised I would and she is mad.
“What the hell?” I thought as she only stayed looking at my Algebra, not even bothering to change the page.
“Mom, turn the page… the other grades are better.” I say.
“Why didn’t you get a 28/28 in this quiz…” she says in a disappointed voice, making me wish my dad was here and not in a trip, my dad actually appreciates my effort, but I don’t get good grades, because my parents say so, but I do my best to get them for my sake. Anyways I was just disappointed, I wish my mom showed more happiness to my accomplishment instead of telling me how she is in a bad mood and how I didn’t have the grades she wanted, and if she wants me to do better I will do my best to make it better, but for my own sake not hers….
Wow matthew your mom was really mad if she didnt appreciate your grades. Mine were mad and so was I because in math Ms.Culberson did do make grade A- for 0.4% I had a 89.6% and I was so mad so were my parents.. but anyway awesome story
ResponderEliminarhaha You have to get used to it man!
ResponderEliminarEvery time i show my grades to my parents, they never say "Nice Job!" instead, they say "You could've done better..." -_-
Well, one day i will show them a Straight A+ and be like " I cant do better than that. mom"
anyways, nice memoir
That is too bad that your bubble was burst. No one is perfect, not even me if you can believe that :)
ResponderEliminarHaha nice story. I liked how you stated that it was for you, not for her. It really means that you're independent doesn't it? Anyways I hope that you get you're computer back...unless you already got it back. Nice job.
ResponderEliminarhahaa, great story. My mom does that too. I like how you wrote the story, I mean the tone of it: you really looking forward to what she'll think, then you found out she was disappointed. Good job.
ResponderEliminarI suddently love my parents even more.
ResponderEliminarSucks to be you.
