Whenever I got a bad mark I'd always tell myself "who cares, it's only grade 9".
I continued to do this all throughout grade nine and ten and would even sign myself out at times.
Whenever I didn't feel like going to school I'd stay home.
However, my parents found out and told me if I didn't take school more seriously then the would take my phone away and not let me go out until I brought my grades up and maintained going to all my classes.
My older sister also lectured me and told me that what I'm doing is not worth it and it will affect mein grade 11 and 12. I eventually started to take things more seriously and learned that its not all a joke anymore and im not a kid.
The fights started to get really violent involving a lot of people hitting one another. However, no one tried to stop the fight. A few minutes into the fight the school bell rang and everyone let and ran to there next period classes. The person involved in the fight and was getting beat on was badly injured and was left on the ground unable to get up.
I knew I couldn't just leave him seeing the state he was in but i also had a test that I couldn't miss. I stood there for a few minutes thinking about what I needed to do.
It was between my test or someone's life. So of course I skipped my test and went to go help him. I also called for help.
Although, I missed my test it was for a good reason and I had to explain that to my teacher who thankfully allowed me to retake the test another day.

I always wanted to be right even if I was actually wrong.
With that being said, my brother and I never got along and were always arguing. We would always argue about the randomest things he wanted to prove that he was right and I wanted to prove that I was right
Listening to music
When I'm angry I like to be alone
However, It was not at all what I expected. I went through a hard stage during the middle of the year. I felt alone, sad, and depressed. I shut everyone out and stopped trying.
My grades went downhill as I felt like nothing mattered to me anymore. I was always in my room and never went out or saw my friends I didn't know why this was happening or how to deal with it.
Although I had a very supportive family, I felt like I couldn't talk to my parents because they wouldn't understand.
I also didn't want to talk to my parents because I never felt comfortable talking to them about my emotions. I liked to keep my emotions to myself rather than speak to my sister or my friends.
By time I started to get better and feel happier. I tried harder in school, became more social and wanted to meet new people and try new things.

Some tips to find out the main idea of a book easier:
It was all going great until the middle of the year. School started to get more stressful and I began to fall behind.
We also lost a few employees at work so I kept covering a lot of shifts thinking I would be able to manage school and work together.
I had no social life and was either doing school work or at work.
My mental health was starting to go down again and I was always stressed and not content with the way everything was.
My family noticed how overworked I was after coming home from work at almost 11 everyday. My parents kept telling me to quit but I didn't listen. Due to being so tired, I forgot about eating and taking care of myself. I would eat one meal a day which was either in the morning or in the middle of the day and that would be it.
On top of that my sister and mom both had covid at the same time making everything harder not just for me but for my family as well. We had to isolate from my mom and sister and make some changes to keep us all safe.
As all of this was happening, I was in charge of my two younger siblings. My four year old brother and 13 year old brother. My youngest brother was starting kindergarten so I had to wake him up every morning, make him lunch, get him dressed, make him breakfast and then take him to his bus stop. I had to do all this everyday for two weeks.
I was online for school and my classes started earlier. So while I was preparing him for school, I had to miss almost an hour of my first period class.
My dad is a pharmacist so it was very important for him to stay out of the house during this time. We thought it would be best for him to stay at a hotel. He would stop by here and there to drop off groceries and food and check up on us.
I love cooking so I made a few dishes for my family. I would say I felt like a mom for these two weeks.
This made my mental health even worse because I felt like I was alone and I had so much responsibility with work and school and then taking care of my family.
After my sister and my mom got better and were corna free, I knew I needed to do something about school and work because I couldn't take it anymore. I texted my manger who is very understanding and I explained to her what was going on. I asked her if I could take a week off to focus on myself and school and she said yes.
During this week all I did was catch up on school work and take a break. I took a break from everything happening and just wanted to relax and be alone most of the time. I definitely would say that week was much needed and helped me figure stuff out a lot.
My mental health started to get better and I wasn't so overwhelmed anymore. My mom and my sister were better and things were going back to normal again. I was back on top of my school work and also told my manager that I felt like I was being overworked and they needed to hire new people because they couldn't keep depending on me. I needed to focus on school and my grades.
I finally started to feel like everything wasn't a mess anymore and it was back to normal including my mental health. I guess all I really needed was a break to relax my mind and body.

When highschool first started I was still very shy and felt even more nervous and stressed out because I was in a very different environment that had much more people then I was used to.
However, as I started to grow into the school and found my way around, I slowly started to become more comfortable to the environment and was excited to meet new people. I started to get out of my comfort zone and speak to people first and got to know them.
Everytime I went into a new class and sat beside someone I would try to start a convo with questions like how are you?, what's your name?, what are your classes this semester? etc. As I got more used to the school and the people, I realized that we all have something in common which is were all starting our first year of highschool and are most likely experiencing the same emotions.
I felt better knowing that I wasn't alone. In the end I was much more social than I ever was and never felt scared to interact with new people.
In the end of grade 10 I finally got my first job at a restaurant called shelby's.
I was a little unsure about how I felt about the job at first because it was very fast past and a lot of work. However, within the two weeks I was already trained and was on the floor serving customers.
I became very close with all of the workers.
Since the restaurant had only just opened, there wasn't to many employees which made me feel better because we were all learning at the same time. The owners were also new at this business stuff and were learning with us as well.
I became very close with the workers at shelbys and saw them as family. Working there I learned so many new things and was put in positions where I had to make a decision on my own.
My social skills improved as I had to communicate with customers very well since that was always our top priority. I learned how to multitask and do things at a fast paste when needed.
I learned that I didn't always need my sister by my side and could figure out how to do things on my own.

My parents were always worried about my social life and tried to make me meet new people to open up more.

What is the reason why the author wrote the book?
While growing up and developing change in my body and hormones, I continued to lose weight and love my body more and more each day.
I tried to balance my diet and take care of what I ate.
I tried to engage in more physical activity. It didn't necessarily have to be sports but, going on walks everyday, or doing simple at home workouts.
In grade 10 a pandemic happened causing everything to shut down.
We were stuck at home for months and of course I gained some weight feeling insecure again.
I told myself right when the gym were open again, I would sign up and start working out at least two times a week.
I stayed dedicated to the promise I made for myself and started to workout. However, it only lasted two weeks as we had to go into lockdown again.
Although I still wanted to lose weight, I didn't feel as insecure about my body because I was nt at home eating all day. Instead I was working a full time job that was only a two minute drive from my house but a ten minute walk.
Instead of always getting driven I decided to always walk so I could get some physical activity in. I felt so much more better because I did lose weight.
I felt even better when one of my workers, friends or family would tell me I lost weight.
Now, I started grade 12 and have a part time job and I'm planning on signing up for a gym very soon.

Grade one: I adapted to school and got used to the fact that this was a daily thing. Learned my way around the school and made some friends. Although, I would still cry here and there and wasn't 100 % comfortable.
Grade four, five and six: Realized school started to get harder as I grew up. Struggled with school work and getting out of my comfort zone. I never was the type to join sports teams or clubs due to being shy.
Grade seven and eight: Last two years before heading off to highschool. Matured more but had trouble making friends. I always felt like I didn't fit in with the rest due to having a different background. Grade eight was my favourite year because I felt the most comfortable and started to join clubs such as me to we. I always struggled with school. Didn't think I would get a knowledge award but I wanted to make my parents happy so I decided to try for another award such as valedictorian.
To become valedictorian I had to write my speech and read it infront of three teachers who were the " judges" and then they were to decide who had the best speech out of everyone. I was chosen to be valedictorian and surprised my parents on my grad night as well as received the music award.
Grade two and three: Started to actually do school work such as english, math, science etc. became a little more comfortable with school and made some friends
Learned how to walk & talk
