I feel dumb in class

Check these out, too...

I've been trying hard in school, but sometimes I just feel so dumb in class.

Dear Not a Star Student,

Very few kinds shine in every subject. Many students who ace English stumble over math, and many mathematicians can't handle French verbs. The point isn't to be great at everything; it's to find what you are best in--then run with that ball. A few years ago, three women won a Nobel Prize in science. One, Carol Greider, said, "I had a lot of trouble in school and was put into remedial classes. I thought I was stupid." Stupid? She's brilliant!

When classes start after the holidays, roll up your sleeves, sit up front, keep up with your homework and, if possible, talk to your teacher or a learning specialist about how you feel. The most important thing for you to remember is that you don't have to be perfect--but you do have to try. Making a sincere effort to do a good job is something to be proud of, no matter what grade you get.

I don't understand. Last year, everything was so easy. I didn't even have to study and I would ace tests. It seems like I've become less smart over the summer and I am getting bad grades on my tests and I actually have to study to get an average grade. What am I doing wrong?

Hey transform2314, are your subjects getting harder? Are you feeling more stressed? What are the differences in your life? Xoxo

I am baby sitting for three hours tonight and she usually just pays me by how much money she has in her wallet. But the last time i baby sat i baby sat for four and a half hours and went home with ten dollars, that time i baby sat three of her children. Tonight i have all of her kids, aging 20 months, 2,4, and 8 years.I am watching them for three and a half hours and i want to be paid $10 an hour since i have all of her kids, but how should i ask for a raise? She is a family friend and is my sister and i only baby sitting job, i get the job when my sister can't. Thanks

Hey hun, that only seems fair to me! To avoid any complications I would talk to the parents privately and state your rate before they leave for the night out. It's a fair price that you deserve so they should be okay with it. Always state your rate before the parents go out, this way they can't only give you what's in their purse, which doesn't seem fair to me.

1. Say your name 10 times.
2. Say your mom's name 5 times.
3. Say your crush's name 3 times.
4. Paste this to 4 other quizzes. If you do this, your crush will kiss you on the nearest Friday, but if you read this and do not paste this, then you will have very bad luck! SEND THIS TO 5 QUIZZES IN 143 MINUTES. WHEN YOU'RE DONE PRESS F6 AND YOUR CRUSH'S NAME WILL APPEAR IN BIG LETTERS ON THE SCREEN.
