Motivation :O

As of right now my motivation is not as high as it could be. I know that now that the semester is almost over, is the worst time to lose motivation in my school work. The reason for it being low is because I already want to get out of school and stop worrying about homework, essays and other kind of school work. I’m not really stressing about doing the work or anything, I just don’t want to have to do work when id rather do something else, because I’m a really lazy person. I recently found out I don’t have a passing grade in one of my classes so that’s going to be my motivation to start doing the work and doing well on the tests n stuff. The thing that’s going to keep me motivated is the love I have for my mother because she works hard as a single mother of three. If she can work hard for herself and for my brothers and me, I at least owe it to her to not disappoint her with a bad grade. All she asks of us is to go to school and get good grades, and to do the chores around the house other than that we could do pretty much whatever we want, legal of course. I’m feeling pretty good about this and I know I’m going to pass all my classes because I’ve never failed a class before and I’m not going to start now.
