At the end of the 1st quarter this school year, I was trying to get a 4.0 GPA and one of my classes I had a C in my Environmental Science class due to a teacher error. So I had to constantly email people from my teacher, my counselor and the departments head until the last day to correct my grades so that I could get an A. I ended up getting the A but it was a stressful situation.

One way I manage stress is doing physical activities on the weekends with friends. This helps me for a short period of time to forget everything that potentially makes me stress, and allows me to enjoy playing a sport I love like soccer, or basketball.
