Thanks, anita;) The weather here in Northeast NJ is cold and windy and though, it is 21 degrees now, it feels like 16 degrees. It may snow late SAturday possibly a foot, but will turn to rain and possible light flooding will occur. I wonder what the weather forecast will do to the SATs, it turns out I just received a phone call, SATs are canceled, but I’m still wondering when they will be rescheduled. Most of the time I try to live in the moment and try not to worry about financial and school pressures and be grateful for friends, but sometimes my parents think I seem ambivalent about money and they rag me about it. I try to look at both the positive and negative sides in life and am mostly a realist. However, sometimes it’s hard when you have college applications to think about next year and especially when your parents keep ragging you about how everything requires money. Although i try really hard in school, it can be hard for me to retain all information because my mind gets sidetracked at times and that’s when my parents think I’m not applying myself hard in school, although my gpa is 97.5. Also there are times when my parents compare me with my brother who is really good at logical thinking, solving complex math problems and has technical mindset and they tell me how they wish I could be more like him, yet I am more like a creative writer and scientist.
