journal 8 My confict

my conflict At school,everyone has their different talents,everyone has their different ways to get better on their own grades. Actually,I'm not really good at algebra and I don't really got a good grade on it,sometimes the math problems are too hard for me to understand what is the descriptions are trying to tell me,so I always feel bad when I get the mark test or doing the math problems. Every time the tests returned back ,I should handed to my mom,and my mom would always be like "the girl who always sits next you often gets good grades on the tests then why can't you get the same score as she gets?" She always ask me and compare me with other people ,and I hate that kind of feeling,everyone isn't good at the same thing ,some people is bad at English but some people are very good at English,there are many different way and different things that people are good at. I'm bad at math,but I get good grades on other subjects,no one is good at the same kinds of things,I just want to be myself.

  1. Be yourself is good, Vivi. I'm not good at algebra either. I think your conflict is character v. character, your mom always compare u with others, and you obviously don't like that. So did you tell your mom your feeling? I think there's also a little character v. self and character v. society, you don't know or you are afried of telling your mom the feeling, and you might care a little with others thought...I'm not sure, am I right? Keep your faith Vivi!

  2. Vivi, Your conflict is men v.s so society and men v.s self. Your mom had put her expectance and it became to the pressure. And you want to be yourself, but you need to respond your mom's expectance, so it made you confuse. It's hard in the first time. But I believe you can do the math better when you accustomed to the school. So don't worry and relax.
