A Little Bit More of Freedom

"How to deal with school?" If you are going to ask that question, I'm the wrong person to ask. I'm also struggling with high school. Although, I don't have a failing grade. Projects, homework, tests the next day, they haunt me to sleep. My mom says it's just a matter of time management but I guess I don't know the definition of that. I'd always cram & forget homework. Sometimes when it gets out-of-hand I break down. I don't like pressure, it's killing me. My mom & dad's got high standards and sometimes I just don't pass them.

I was actually surprised when they gave me a little bit of freedom. They leave me on my own now although they check on me sometimes. They don't browse through my quizzes that much anymore and they give me my allowance for the whole week. I guess I earned that through the years. I never had failing grades, I never go out of the house without their permission and I obey whatever they want me to do. But then maybe they know that I can set my own rules and limitations.

Sometimes, though, I think I missed the old times when I still don't have a little bit more of freedom.
