I had a talk with the principal of my school today, he told me that I really need to take my shit seriously, because he knows I can do better than what I am now.

To clarify, my grades, aside from math, are average, I've had almost all 80%~90% in all my tests except math like I said, and even though that's enough to get into the high-school I want to get into, apparently that's not enough for my principal, he thinks I can do better if I just take stuff more seriously, and I believe him, but there's still an issue, I don't trust myself to do that

Anyone that knows me would tell you that I have a lot of skills in terms of out-right learning, which is true, I always pay attention is class and I always understand everything said in class, but it's not enough (it's never enough <_< ). My principal made it clear that everything I did was enough to make me breeze through elementary school and 7th grade, but not 9th grade, what I need, is organization, focus, and practice-a LOT of practice. But the problem is, I've never been someone that does stuff for school other than pay attention in class and for the most part do homework (not that much actually), so now I have a big gap in my education, and I seriously need to get my shit together if I want to make it in high-school, which once again, this is not a problem of a student with issues in understanding, this is an adult's problem .

Fortunately, I've started to work on things more seriously these past few days, I've been studying hard for a math test (which I've NEVER done before, at least not alone, and not at this rate), and I've been doing my homework which is luckily easy for me , but still, I just hope I do good on my report card :\
