Hi everyone! sorry for the more happy tone of this post, but something amazing just happened! Its currently very early morning where I live (like almost 2 am) and I've found this motivation to try my hardest in this english class I'm taking. The teacher told me I should drop it bc my essay was bad, but I worked really hard to get put into AP Language so I asked him for any last resort. He told me to edit the essay and cut down the word count by a huge factor of 30%. Well guess what? In one day, I dropped the count down from 1202 to 800 words! I obviously haven't sent it to him yet, but I'm super proud bc this week will be literal hell with vacation coming up and all my teachers going overboard bc AP month is soon. Sorry if this hurts anyone but this is the first time I've been happy in literal months and I thought this might help break the hard-to-read threads out there.
