No such thing as a lazy child? By 5thGrdTeachTN

When it came to school work, I WAS a lazy child in elementary school. I didn't always complete my homework, I did projects at the last minute (and we all know what quality of work that produces), and I was more interested

in the social scene of school than my classwork most days of the week. Since I believe in personal responsibility, it was not the fault of the teachers or my parents. They all set the standard; I just didn't feel like putting in the effort to succeed. Fast forward a few years...When you look at my high school, college, and graduate school grades, you will take note that the

lazy child matured and began to see the connection between hard work and grades. I can not credit a teacher for "showing me the light", rather I credit a little thing called maturity. To the original poster, if you put forth your best effort that is all that can be asked of you. Take a much deserved break this summer. I wish you the best for the next school year!
