Quotation

" it's no use. I'll never catch up. And no, I'm not exxagerating who would have
thought that missing a couple of days of school could put a girl this far behind?" (Douglas 196).

Reaction

I really feel like i can relate to this qoute. It says a lot of truth. When i missed School for like three days and came back I missed a month's worth of work. I also think that if she tried to get the work done she could succeed. But, I definitely think that schools need to lessen makeup work, becuase it's not some students fault that they missed school.
