YAY For Good Grades In English

had a meeting with my English teacher yesterday morning, and I learned that I'm not missing any assignments, and I have a low B- a C in that class. This news made me really happy. Originally, the meeting with Professor Erin Tepen was going to ask all the groups in class who each person was coming along with their research paper. At least, that's what we were all told in class on Monday- when we were all asked what would be a good meeting time for everyone.
The short meeting began by asking each person individually how the process of writing their research paper was actually coming along. I explained that the challenge that I had faced at first was actually trying to find enough sources for the topic I had chosen to write about. Others in the group said almost the same thing, so I didn't really feel the least bit bad about facing challenges with this assignment.
As the meeting wrapped up, the grade book grades up to now were revealed. Each person's name was called individually, so they could see their grade for themselves. My grade had to be said in front of everyone, as I wouldn't have been able to see the regular-size type of the laptop screen. "Nico," Professor Tepen said, "you're doing O.K. You're not missing any assignments. " When this comment was given to me, I was overjoyed.
One of the other students, however, didn't even get the same comment. When our teacher showed him his grade, she explained to him that his grade could go up if he did well on this current research paper assignment. He told her he would try really hard to pull his grade up.
