There was no point for it. That it was just a waste of time. But their were my cousins always asking me for my report card, making sure I had good grades as well as good conduct. As well as my teachers they kept me going, motivating me to behave good that it was for my own good and no one else. I couldn’t have a D’ in any class because my cousins would start tripping and they would not take me out with them until I would bring up my grade.
