Hack to School

I wasn't able to go to back to school night since I was swamped in school work and homework i needed to catch up on and although I didn't do the best job at that, I feel like I might've done a worse job if i had gotten home late. There was also an assignment I had to get done before 11pm that night which I really wasn't sure was hard so getting started as soon as possible was of the utmost importance, at the time. My friend that day had also not so nicely pointed out that getting that extra credit was very important for my grades. Maybe more importance than getting the work I needed to done. My parents were also out of town and I was going to ask my brother before he ended up leaving and coming back when it was already too late. The bonus to that was that he came back with some food so it wasn't all bad. I think going would have really benefited me in so many ways so not going is a big regret. I should've gone through with going rather than staying because I did it before the time I had to. Now I know to take the risk since it would have benefited me in more ways than one. First of all with the few grades entered into our Aeries that extra credit would have really done me some good, especially since it was offered in so many of my classes. Another benefit would be that as Mr.Preston put it, I wouldn't just be a face taking up space in a classroom. Now I know to take more chances with easy work assignments, a mistake I'll make sure not to make again.
