Big Brothers Big Sisters

Mr. Swan, I first of all would like for you to know that you are a great man, and a great principal; however, I feel that she is still just targeting me, I feel that she picks on me, there are more things that you don’t know about that goes on. Sometimes you don’t even give me an opportunity to say what is on my mind, and that is alright, it’s your school and I can’t tell you how to run it. So first off I would like to apologize for being disrespectful to you, I know you do things for the best interest of all of your students and faculty on campus. Second of all I would like to acknowledge, yes I do mess up rather often, but it really isn’t all my fault, and third and final dilemma, I have basically given up. I am not the best student in the building and I know you have many, many other students that you are trying to prevent from not messing up, and I feel sometimes I am selfish about it, and I do know you do things sometimes that seem tough to handle but in all honesty, you do it out of love for all of the students, not just one, it’s for the best interest, not just a certain few, I am also sorry for making this such a big deal, but it really does feel like she is targeting me, no matter what you or anyone else say, no one sees what really goes on inside that classroom, when she says things to me that makes me feel less than I really am.

an “F” in the class and be done, because I am tired of going into a class and just feeling worthless and getting angry because I am not understanding when I am trying. It at this point is getting ridiculous. So I give up. There is no reason for me to
