Thanks guys

I am a fifteen ninth grade girl. Why am i still in ninth grade? Well in sixth grade i was held back. if your wondering why i would admit such a thing, its to show the world that just because people are held back does not mean they are stupid. I was a year behind in education because my old school was. so i was held back a grade. I'm not proud of it and I'm certanly not stupid. if i was stupid i would not have this blog. i would be failing math, which is one of my best subgects. (I usualy get As. So I'm writing this to defend all the people in the world who are held back. people need to stop putting it in movies and T.V. shows that being held back is onley because your dumb. I'm certanly not dumb. I've won a library aword twice, won an in class poetry contest, won a jabberblabber art contest, and I am currently reading 4 books. so if you saw all those stupid T.V. shows and all those kids held back are stupid. dont think that. look at me,i own a blog full of storys and essays, get As in math, and reads 24/7. so if you ever see a held back kid, dont suspect the worse.
