Think about today

So today, Mr. Gilbert wast saying that we could always bring up our grade next term, and then he went on about how we don't have to dwell on the past. So I was thinking about that. The past is past, we can't go back and fix it...unless someone comes up with how to time travel...but really, we shouldn't dwell on our past. Don't get me wrong, it is good to look back and see what mistakes we can learn from or the fun times we had with our friends and stuff like that, but if maybe we didn't get the best grade this term, as in Mr. Gilberts example, we can step it up and work hard and get a good grade next term. Or maybe if we didn't make the best choice and we can fix it, then it's not a big deal, we shouldn't pull ourselves down, we can fix it and move on. We should just focus on whats going on today and try to make it so tomorrow, we can say that yesterday was good. That's kind of confusing...but yeah, thats how I am seeing things.

I really agree with Mr. Gilbert and you, Lauren. I have had a past experience with my grade in math, actually. I had an F! I was very depressed and cried. I then thought crying won't change my grade and won't help in anyway. I stopped crying and got my grade up to an A! If you really think about it you can really do anything! NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE!
