Why i do not just give up
I work on a reward system for myself. School work takes me at least 3 times longer than regular people. When it comes to my school work i am a perfectionist, i want/ feel the need to prove myself to my teacher. I set myself rewards on a week and yearly basis. The rewards i have range from new pens to a new computer. I set a grade that i want to achieve and usually i do, because i know what i can do. When i moved house i found my rewards changed into things that i wanted for my room. My room is my heaven, that space where i can escape everything. My end goal is getting into a good university but on a day to day basis that does really motivate me so i also need short term rewards. I do have the thoughts of why don't i just stop school and work at mcdonalds but i know that that would not fulfil me. I think it is important that parent support there kids and carry through on rewards, parents have to do what they promise when it comes to rewards especially with younger kids, because than kids do not believe that they would be rewarded for there work. I try to be an example for other kids with learning issues, i feel i have got this far why should i give up now.
