Parents’ Evening
This Tuesday is my school’s parents’ evening, and after receiving a not-so-great report card a few days ago, I can’t help but feel anxious about it, especially given my attitude in class.

Maybe you could use this time to share your perspective too and let your parents and teachers know how you feel. It’s collaboratively working towards your growth, and that’s definitely worth the effort!
