Kates Essay

TS: One of the things that I was disappointed with in my life was when I got my assessment grade back. SD: After working hard, and long I was very disillusioned when I received my grade. CM: At first I didn’t really understand why I got the grade, and I thought it was because I was honest and said that I did not have a good experience at the Elms. CM: That made me start to think that if I lied and said I had a great time at the Elms I would have gotten a better grade. SD: I don’t believe that that is why I got my grade any more though. CM: Sometimes, when someone brings up assessment I still wonder if I did it differently, would I have gotten a better grade. CS: But then I quickly think to something else because there is no reason for a 14 year old to be disappointed in herself.

CS: I don’t want to feel so let down like I was with my assessment grade.
