My Story
By: Laney Creed
Hi my name is Laney Creed, and I’m from San Francisco, California. I’m thirteen years old and I go to a public middle school in the city. I’ve always gotten HORRIBLE grades, I mean like just barley passing. My parents were always actively trying to help me bring my grades up, but nothing ever worked. One day when my mom was so fed up with all of it, she decided it was time to try something new. Bribery, she told me that if I could get all A’s for at least three months in a row, she would take me on the biggest shopping spree of my life! My mom obviously knows me better than anyone else, because this sparked my attention immediately. My parents hate bribing so I was shocked when I heard her offer.
“Are you serious?” I asked. I couldn’t help but let out a sheer screech of happiness. I went to school the next day totally motivated and completely confident that I was going to get great grades. Turns out it wasn’t too hard to get all A’s when I really set my mind to it. Not only did I have my AMAZING shopping spree, but also I learned that I am the only one who can control my future. I am now an “A” student, and it’s not because my parents want me to be one, it’s because I want to be one!
