1 . The bell rang. Jada sighed, slowly moved from the lockers where she had been leaning, and headed down the hall to her chemistry class. Honors Chemistry! Jada couldn't believe that her mom was making her take the class because Jada's counselor had said that she had real talent in science.
Jada had to admit that she liked science and that last year's class was a breeze, but come on, Honors Chemistry? She wouldn't know anyone in the class, and they probably wouldn't know anyone like her.
The good thing about being late is that it shortened the period a bit. The bad thing is that it made her seem like she was making a grand entrance. To make matters worse, the only two seats left in class were at the lab table at the very front of the room.
Jada held her breath and walked in. Everyone's eyes were on her. She just knew it. They were staring at her coal black hair（freshly dyed）, her black lipstick, her black fingernail polish, and her thrift-store black leather jacket. All she saw were polo shirts and khaki pants.
This can't get any worse, Jada thought. But at least she didn't get shouted at by the teacher. He was too busy talking to a new kid. A HUGE new kid, maybe 6'4". He had to weigh at least 250 pounds. A football player, probably. She hated football players. They thought they were so great. That group of jocks that hung out by the cafeteria always made fun of her.
The new kid made his way over to her table with his head down. He had to squeeze into the seat, and his legs wouldn't fit under the lab table. He shot Jada a glance and turned red.
Mr. Martin, the teacher, began class with this announcement: "Okay, everyone. I know most of you know each other from last year's Honors Physical Science class." Jada sighed loudly. "But just take a minute and introduce yourself to the person sitting at your table. You'll be partners. You'll be working closely together all year."
Jada rolled her eyes and stared straight ahead. Then she heard a surprisingly soft voice from next to her. "Hi, I'm Robert. I'm new here."…

I hated math and was really bad at it when I was young. I showed no interest in it. My head would touch the desk the moment the math teacher began his class. But I didn't want to fail the math tests. Luckily, I found others used to allow me to copy their answers. Even though they knew they were harming me, there were many classmates who were glad to provide "help". In this way, I got through a few tests.
But one day something terrible happened. Our teacher changed our seats for the exam and I was sitting beside a boy that I seldom talked with before. As I could only answer a question or two, I had to turn to him if I didn't want to have a sea of red crosses in my paper.
I signaled to him and managed to get his attention. When he asked me what I wanted, I immediately asked him for the answers. To my surprise, he refused me without any hesitation. Of course, I was really annoyed at his behavior and thought badly of him.
After the test he came up to me, telling me that I could get good grades in math and that all I needed was to put more effort into studying the subject. I was still mad with him, but I couldn't get his words out of my mind. Why couldn't I improve math with my own ability? Why couldn't I shine in math like him?

From that day on, I began to devote more time to my math.
