Being bored and digging through old files, I found my last grade 11 report card for that year.. I am starting there and will post more later.

First grading period 9 weeks, second 9 weeks, semester average, third 9 weeks, fourth 9 weeks, semester average and year finish.. Got it?

Latin III C C D C D F F D
English 11 F A B B B F D F C
Earth Science II B A B B A A A A
Geometry B B B B A B B B
U.S. History A A B A B B B A
Humanities A A A A A F C B
Horticulture II A A B A A A A A

Latin: was on/ off talking required so I only did written work, never verbal.. I always just shrugged my shoulders when it came around for me to talk or answer. I signed up for Latin IV the next year but little did I know it was almost all Verbal work.. I just stopped showing up for class.

English In the begining it was a ton of group work, then for a while it was individual work, towards the end a bit more group work.. I even got my parents called in because I was not working in groups..

Earth Science That class was GREAT! I love science, but the thing I liked best about this class was the teacher let me sit in isolation from everyone else and I worked by myself the entire year never having to be in a situation where I was expected to talk.. There was only one activity they had where that might have been the case (Checking our papers as a class activity) But the answers were single letter matching responses, so I had some cards that I answered with.. :)

Geometry Good class, he never made us do any group work and when I finished my work, he let me sleep.. :)

U.S. History Great class, as I never even needed to use my textbook once, I returned it in it's original plastic..lol I just sat there and looked down at my desk and listened to her speak, then took the tests and passed them. I took her AP course the next year on government but 80% of it was group work.. I didn't fair very well then..

Humanities Easy honours class, until my last 9 weeks.. That 9 weeks we had to take notes, but the majority of our grade was a big timed presentation.. My father and I worked on my assignment and he told me I'd do alright and not let it bother me.. My name was called, I walked up to the front of the class and stared at the ground until I was told to sit down.. Worst academic experience I have ever had.. To make it worse, after I was told to sit down, people sitting in front of me turned around and tried talking to me..

Horticulture Best class that year, small class, nobody ever bothered me; I finished my work rather quickly and enjoyed the work, spent most of my time reading my books or doing homework in there and on occasion I was asked to water plants while everyone else worked.. Perks of having the highest grade in the class.. :)

Lots of A's in there! Dang, I wish my high school had offered a horticulture class. I would have loved that so much, and might not have wasted $50k on art school, haha. Have you considered pursuing a career as a research scientist? There's lots of good jobs for plant geneticists these days..
