I've handed every piece of work in, and got As or Bs in each piece of work. In law, I read ahead and I know more than my class does, and psychology I have kept up with the work in class and outside of class. The only one I'm behind in is RE because, I have asked her, I need help with essay writing and such. I've emailed, my mum has emailed her and so has my progress tutor, and asked for a sample essay etc but she hasn't given one. So yes, Kim, I have done work outside of class and I am doing well in regards to work. The mock test was difficult for me for a multitude of reasons.

Excluding RE, the only thing I'm behind on is attendance. Which they know why I find it hard to attend.

And I came from a background consisting of a single mother who suffered depression and migraines and so didn't work until I was about 8 (before that, she was always on the sofa with the lights out a - since it helped the pain of her migraines) and then after that she worked full time and I never saw her. She didn't go to college or university until she was around 30.

Not sure if it counts as my "background" but I also moved country to live with my dad, skipped a year of college and this mock test we just had was the first exam style test I've seen in about 2 years. So I didn't know what to expect, I literally hadn't slept and every time I tried to revised, I went into full blown anxiety.
