WARNING: THIS WAS TOO LONG FOR ME TO FIT IN ONE ANNOUNCEMENT!! THIS IS PART ONE!!!
Also I wanna tell everyone a story about my day because yall follow me for stories and no one irl that I talk to wanted to hear it. Soooo I'm a high school freshman in a class for advanced seniors and today in class we had a substitute teacher so all we did that hour was work on homework that was assigned yesterday, but our substitute teacher decided to give us a challenge problem that we could do and check it with him. It was a systems of equations problem with four variables and four equations that we were supposed to solve using elimination and I tried it first using substitution because it seemed like it would be easier, but when I finished working it out and I checked my answer in the equations, I was wrong, so then I completed it the way I was supposed to, and I felt like "oh, that wasn't that hard, I bet everyone finished it" because I always belittle myself and my accomplishments. Time skip to the end of class when the substitute asks if anyone did the problem and there is basically unanimous agreement that the problem was way too hard and no one could do it, so on the way out I told the teacher what I got and asked if I was right. It turns out, I was!!! And it made me so happy for the few minutes I was walking in the hall to my next class. I was going to tell both my friends who were in that class, but my first friend seemed like she didn't really want to talk, much less about something like that, and when I was talking to my second friend and working on our project together, I just didn't see a way to fit it into conversation. I figured she wouldn't really care or it would just make everything awkward, so then I got kinda sad for last hour and just worked on my project and played on my phone.
