I took a physics test today, and I usually do good in that class, but on the test today…I really could not focus and was confused. Lots of things have been on my mind, and today I was able to step back when I came home and figure it out. I feel so much better now, but I’m worried that I failed the test. I don’t want my teacher to think that I didn’t understand the concepts or him to feel bad. What can I do to tell my teacher in a way that doesn’t sound like I’m just making excuses? I really just wasn’t thinking straight for a while now, and my test experience served as a wake up call that I needed to change my thinking and view on the world.
