text: How well you perform at school is based on several factors. Attending school isn't meant for everyone because people have different goals in life. Not everyone wants to be the a doctor or a lawyer. In school it can be hard to focus on grades because students can get distracted and become more invested into making new friends or becoming popular which causes performance to decline in school. One of my friends was new to the county and she had trouble adjusting to the new school environment. She had excellent grades at her old school and her teachers spoke highly of her. I started talking to her and we became super close.
