When I was in seventh grade my grades were struggling because I was immature and never did or turned in my homework. This was partially the result of my age. I am a year younger than most of the rest of my class. My parents, teachers, and administrator got together and discussed the benefits of holding me back to redo the seventh grade. I wasn 't fond of the idea, mostly because all of my friends would be moving on without me. Not to mention who wants to go through an extra year of school. So I was
In the duration of my middle school years, I maintained excellent grades, except I had just one issue that held me back from a satisfying life.
