If there is a will there is a way.

Life is complected. It always has been. In class we always take about assessing students different. That you cant really test knowledge just on testes, and yet we take tests. I feel like that is backwards. Collage students are just like elementary student( we are smarter and older, yes) we test different just like them. I am horrible at tests. They freak me out, ive never really known how i am supposed to study for them, so i dont really well. Really im just not good at anything, other then presenting, i can dish one of those out in min. But people get things, i mean are you even sure that your straight A student understands the material, or do they just have photographic memory? Cuz the C student over there could get and understand what you are talking about but testing is hard for them. Like me, i am in no way a straight A student. I like to make A's but i get more B's and C's then A's. But i get the material. I understands when the teacher is talking and i could tell you just what you want ot know if you ask. But put a test in front of me or ask me to write a paper, this is why i get B's. and possible i hate waking up for morning classes. I just feel if we are talking about assessing students different, they should practice what they preach. Then they write you off, after you start to get and grades. The school takes one look at one semester and is like oh she cant do anything look at that GPA. Ok, im so so so sorry i took all three super hard GEs in one semester and i didnt get A's in all of them! There is more to a person then there grades. A letter grade is nothing to that person, it shows nothing. Other then if you are a C student you are obviously not smart. Testing doesnt always show your knowledge, lets reform and start testing knowledge different. I would help me out haha
Anyway, other then my frustration at testing and schools. The semester has been stressful and hard! wonderful! but i know i will get through it. Cuz if there is a will there is a way!
