I did this once, as a kid, but am trying again now.

I'd love to make new friends.

Janie looked at the score over and over again, she flipped through the pages of the pop quiz and at the red marks that filled the page. Her professor scrawled notes on every page that complained about penmanship, the steps that she took to get to the answers- he even accused her of cheating on one problem.

The math class was required for her major and she had to maintain a certain GPA to stay in her sorority. This wasn't even considering that she would need to earn scholarships next year.

"Professor" she asked, after class "I would like to speak with you about my assignments."

"I'm not your advisor." he said, packing up his things. "Talk to yours about tutoring and take English lessons."

"Is there a way I can make up for the failed assignments?" His response offended her. She thought her grasp of English was more than acceptable, she knew that her math skills far exceeded those required for the course she took.

"There are no make-up assignments in this course. If tutoring isn't an option I would suggest College Math. You clearly aren't cut out for my class."

College Math? That would kill her chances at a Physics Major. He knew that, he had to be certain that she was aware of the classes required.

"Professor, I need this class. Please, I'll do anything to pass."

"Somehow I doubt that, Janie. If your work doesn't drastically improve, you're going to fail. " He finished packing his bag and started to walk away.

She stared down at her assignments, trying her hardest not to show how upset she was.

"I expected more from a student that was so highly anticipated." he added, right before walking out of the classroom.
