Today I told my father about how my ELA grade is a 97 and he just said, "good". Now obviously he's an asian parent and like the stereotype suggests he is going to expect good grades from their children. Of course, usually when I do good on ELA he ins't that surprised because my English is pretty good, today I got another 100 on my literacy test about personification, metaphors, similes, symbolism, and hyperboles. I think that this topic isn't exactly the easiest but I had retained enough information from my ELA teacher last year that it shouldn't exactly be the hardest.
My friend was reading my high school application essay when I was at science because he showed me his and I thought it was only his. He definitely put way more thought into his then mine, I rushed into the last minute and still made 2 grammar mistakes. However, I did add good vocabulary words like myriad and edification. For extracurricular activities I only put soccer because I was thinking about being honest, but my friend put soccer, basketball, debate team, spelling bee, and much more that I didn't think we could put.
I was surprised and wish now that I could redo my application but there's no hope for that. He didn't apply for high tech, just county prep since that school is relatively close to him, I hate whenever my friends call me Chinese instead of Tibetan as a joke because even though I know they don't mean I feel offended. There are only about 6 million Tibetans in the world and I am one of them. Like 5.4 million of them live in Tibet anyway so that makes my kind the minority. I am kind of blessed and happy that I am able to be a part of a culture that is so special and rare.
I love asian culture and to think that my kind are the ones that have monks and temples makes me feel proud and amazed. If I was born a christian or some other race I wouldn't exactly be happy with myself, not trying to offend anyone, but no ones reads these blogs anyways, and that's surprising considering I have over 500 posts. I am trying to rush this post just because I ave to finish some ELA homework that if I don't do my grade will go from a 97 to a 95 or 93.
And I can't afford that considering how well I'm doing as of this moment. To get honor roll I need a b+ on every subject that is way harder than last year. Last year if you got a c- it was fine because that usually resulted in an 81 or 80. Today in school I took a quiz about the Anne frank text and I got an 87 but the kid next to me got a 78 so I feel bad. My grade shouldn't be that drastically affected and that is the and thing with a grade being so high, you start to see it decrease when you get scores that are usually good.
