ADVICE | SCHOOL

The best school excuse ever

Last week, 5th grader Tyler Sullivan skipped school. He had a pretty good excuse, though: His Dad was introducing President Barack Obama during a visit to a factory in Minneapolis. So who signed his absence note? Why, Mr. President himself, of course!

 

Here’s the note. Props to Tyler for taking a pic and sharing it. We’re pretty sure this baby’s goin’ down in the history books.

 

What’s your best excuse for missing school, babes?

Okay, so I'm skipping ninth grade and going into tenth this year, and are going to take challenging classes with lots of homework. I'm also a cheerleader, and have that twice a week, along with student counsel three times a week. See, my parents think I shouldn't sign up for any more extracurriculars, but I think I should, because honestly, this is nothing compared to the last few years, because I was also enrolled in this one online school in addition to my school and had waaay more extracurriculars. How do you think I could speak to them and let them know I can still do more? Thank you!




Hey girl,

Try spending a week or two at school working through this routine. 10th grade is going to be different from anything you've experienced before (every year is!), so try to adjust to it first without signing up for new activities/making too many plans. That way, you can see exactly how much free time you have and what you're missing in your life. Then you can talk to mom and dad, show them that you're able to keep up on your work/responsibilities (and do well at it!), and ask if they can make an exception for this one extracurricular you REALLY want to try Smile

My best excuse was,
"*cough cough* my throat hurt and *cough cough* i was really really sick." yup that's sooo believable XD.

When I was younger, I was incredibly dedicated to school. I always got straight A's, no matter what. I think it actually became a huge part of my identity- being the gifted girl. Now in the last school year, my grades slipped and I lost that feeling of intelligence. I feel sort of lost now, and kind of sad. What should I do?




Hey girl,

Even though your grades slipped, did you try your hardest and put your best efforts into your work? If you did, then you have no reason to feel that way! It's not about how high your grades are but the level of effort you put into achieving whatever grades you got. You may have been taking harder classes or maybe something else was going on that made concentrating a little harder last year. It's totally okay! To get over the feelings, remind yourself that you're super smart and you have past grades to prove it. Next year, just try to keep in mind that you're successful in everything as long as you work your best. You can also try joining clubs, so that you have another thing to feel proud about!
