FRUSTRATION
School is frustrating about 80% of the time. I’m worried all the time about it but I have a lot of support from my friends. Most of them know I have a learning disability. I am pretty open about it. They ask questions and I answer them. My friends understand how upset I get when I fail an exam. They know what a high achiever I am and how those grades affect me. Their words of encouragement are really helpful. There has never been a situation when I didn’t have someone to talk to.
