Well when I moved to Lebanon for 8th grade, my grades were terrible here as the school system is very different from America.
I worked hard learning how they solved things here and was eventually close to the top of my class. I made a promise to this
obsessive girl that prided herself on always having the highest GPA that I would have the highest GPA next year (I had a constant
98.5%+ average in America). She laughed in my face.
Now this year, 9th, I'm keeping my promise and I've had the highest GPA in the entire ninth grade the entire year so far. The obsessive girl keeps breaking down
each time exam grades, progress report grades, and report cards come out.
It's not much of an accomplishment, but hey I'm only 14 and this is a very conservative country.
