Dear Somebody,
I have a problem and I need some advice. First of all, I’m an only child and both my parents are working. We moved to this area about a month ago and I just enrolled in the school nearby. I don’t have any friends because I’m still new in school.
I have a hard time catching up to the lesson in class. The way the teacher teach is so different than in my old school. Sure I understand that this is an elite school but I feel like I’m being left behind. The teacher expects me to know the things I already missed out on and the other students look like they can’t be bothered with helping me.
I’m to shy to talk to anyone and the teacher look very strict. What should I do? I don’t want to be left behind anymore.
Desperate,
Miss T
