So I nearly went to my first day of my Sophomore year

So all was well until 4th period, geometry. When I had to leave school because my grandmother died.

So I get to miss the next two weeks of school to go to long island.

 

I'm not too sure if this is a good thing, or a bad thing.

 

In Freshman year someone I lived with died. When they were in the hospital, I missed one day of school because it had finally hit me that he was dying and I broke down. Yeah. :/

 

most normal people would take death as a bad thing.

 

i broke my nose and arm and lost a few teeth on my first day in 5th grade

 

I am sorry for your loss.

 

i'm gonna sound stupid here but what's a sophomore? i know it's to do with school rating systems or something like that... ( i'm english)

 

rest in piece :/

 

**** sucks, sorry for your loss, may she rest in peace, have fun catching up on two weeks of school work. In order of imperativeness.

 

Shit happens. May your grandma R.I.P.

 

That sucks ass, man. =( I'm sorry.

 

A Sophomore is a person in the 10th grade of a school in America. It goes like this:

Elementary school: Grades K [Kindergarten, the introduction grade to elementary school before 1st grade] - 4 [some elementary schools go up to fifth grade]

Middle School (also known as junior high school): Grades 5 [sometimes 6] - 8

High School: Grades 9 - 12

I'm not sure why, but high school's grade numbers are given names (in which the students are also refered to as). These are the names:

Grade 9 - Freshman
Grade 10 - Sophomore
Grade 11 - Junior
Grade 12 - Senior

Okay, hope that cleared things up.

@ Zeroro: Death really sucks. It makes you realize how fragile this world is. I apologize for your loss. But, keep your chin up, alright?
