> My parents have never been much help to me in school. I had to learn English all by myself...no one read to me as a child. My Mom was only able to teach me basic arithmetic...I quickly outgrew her help.
>You've certainly done well in the English department! I'm jealous--my parents were immigrants, but they spoke English at home, so I never picked up the other language.
> I never had an older sister to help me...I'm all alone. The world is scary and ruthless and I'm all alone...no one can help me.
>Check out the resources your school has. They really do want students to do well. It's not a contest between you and them.
Best of luck, I.
