It Just Runs in the Family

Friday, March 13, 2009, I got a letter from Mr. Thompson saying...... I got in class PRE-ALGEBRA!!!!! My mom, dad, and my older brother Trent got into Pre-Algebra when they were in 6Th grade I think. But, my mom being surprised by getting into Pre- Algebra shocked her. She isn't really good at math and she admits it, as she asks Trent and me what 9x6 or any other question related to that unlike Trent and my dad they have a breeze in math as my dad is a Chemical Engineer at Kingsford (a company that makes Clorox, Kingsford coal, Ziploc, Hidden Valley Ranch, etc.) Me, thinking that I will get my moms genes and not get into it because I have similarities with my mom.... but no I got into it, I love math it's my favorite subject and so easy. I was thinking that I wouldn't get into Pre-Algebra because I missed 5 questions on the test... but to my relief I made it. Even though I worried that my common assessments weren't going to help me get into it even though I got a 100% on my 2ND quarter and a 97% on my 1st. I guess I just worry to much but oh well it must run in the family, I am in Pre- Algebra!
