Handbook for An Unpredictable Life: How I Survived Sister Renata And My Crazy Mother, And Still Came Out Smiling (With Great Hair)
“School had already begun, and I believe I was thirteen now. One of my teachers accused me of cheating on an essay because I would never pay attention in class, would always be late, yet would score high on my essays and tests—what can I say! She gave me an F, I cursed her out and accused her of being prejudiced, and she reported me to the vice principal. I wouldn’t back down and was made to write an essay on the spot in front of everyone. After reading it, the vice principal turned to the teach...er and made her apologize to me. I smugly replied, “I accept your apologies.” I got detention for it.
That put an even bigger chip on my shoulder, which only backfired on me, but I couldn’t stop it. After-school detention became a regular event. My grades started to drop. I couldn’t concentrate during class. Taking tests was a blur of confusion, and the low marks made me feel stupid and inept for the first time. I got even more depressed—worried about my chances of getting into college.MoreLess
