That's what I did too, no more fucking around just school work and nothing more. Not that I had many friends anyway but the ones I did have were all graduating and going on to college, but not me I Emily will have to stay behind and endure another year of Miss Woodesen, but maybe if she sees that I am truly making an effort than, she might cut me some breaks just to get rid of me? I did too, till the end of May other than making daddy feel good I stayed home and did my school work. I made daddy feel real good over the next 2 months, but still he never wanted to go any further, other than a suck job, or a stroke job. Miss Woodsen seen the effort in me, the change so to speak, and rather than ripping me a new asshole every time she emailed me, she gave me encouragement telling me to keep going and though I might not graduate this year, the change around that she has seen from me was very, very noticeable, from her and my teachers, that in itself was enough to keep me going. So even though things were not great, I was at least doing something to turn things around! For me to actually make an effort in doing something anything to help myself was a very good thing, and Miss Woodesen told me so, after all the shit I gave her over 4 years now well she is a friend and instead of always being negative with me, she just like changed, she changed her attitude about me, and I have done better in school and changed my thinking about her, she was not a BITCH Miss Woodesen, just a very nice lady who seen something in me, and never quit on me as I have done on myself with school. So there you go, even though I had picked up my grades in the last quarter of my high school year it appeared that according to Miss Woodsen that I was going to be short a half a credit of graduating, she had just told me in her email that the change over in me was well amazing, but at the present time I will at least have to come back for at least 1 semester to finish out my high school year. Okay so be it, it is what is it, and I'm okay with that, at the very least I have made a effort to change my situation and though it didn't work out well I tried! The most important thing here is I tried very hard not to manipulate the situation or the people around me or so I thought, moving 2 months forward to the second week of May, having done better than I even thought I could, things for me changed again. Miss Woodsen had called me into her office one day, as I sat down she looked at me with her still very domineering stare and said Emily, your transformation has been nothing less than miraculous, but young lady I am sorry to tell you that you'll still be short half a credit, I know you know this but I wanted just to tell you how much I seen the effort that you have given and though your short it has not gone unnoticed! AND SO MY GOES LIFE
