When I was a sophomore,
I took a physics class.
I failed the first term.
The teacher let me fix it,
and I did way more work
than I needed to.
I could've made a B on it.
But the program they use
erases the scores
after a few weeks,
and the teacher never checked it.
They believed I did a little work,
but since I'd never written down
the work I'd done,
they refused to give me anything
but a D-,
barely passing.
I wasn't happy.
Later,
I asked if I could redo it again
for the B.
They let me,
but life got in the way,
and I never finished.
They put me back at a failing grade.
I'm missing a quarter credit of science.
I may not graduate.
I can't apply for college
with that on my transcript.
All my friends are getting into colleges.
I haven't even applied.
I redid the work last year.
It's been a year.
This whole situation
just gives me so much anxiety,
and I've never had to deal with it
before.
I'm so terrified if I ask to have them fix it,
they'll just say,
'You should have done this a year ago.'
I know.
I was terrified.
I still am.
It's so stupid.
I am terrified of applying for college.
