The month of May is very stressful for students but could also be relieving because of summer coming up and the grades closing. May is an important month for students because the importance of keystone testing is a pathway for students to graduate. The pressure from the testing, the finalizing grades, and graduation can be very stressful for most people. All the studying, test taking, and making up for all the missed homework to bring up grades can be very stressful on people, but the month of May makes up for what comes next, which is summer. A lot of students agree that May is one of the worst and stressful months in the school year, but relieve that stress once this month ends because of summer. Once the school year is over and all the grades and testing is over everything is back to normal and all the stress is relieved by the summer.
I asked some of my friends if they were stressed about testing and the grades closing. My classmate Aaliah said “Not really, this marking period was very easy and I don’t have any stress regarding my grades, but I hate testing because of all the stress that comes with it and worrying about my scores.” I assume this is most people agree with how stressful testing is. Most people I asked about how they are going to relieve that stress of finalizing grades and testing are going on Vacation and relaxing because of the school year being over.
My classmate Pt said, “I'm really excited for summer, I'm going to be relaxing.” From all the stress from testing, grades and all the school year as a whole, summer is a good way to relieve that stress. My opinion on how this month is going so far is that it's very stressful for me going through all the testing and finalizing grades this quarter. This school year has been especially very stressful in my opinion because of starting AP classes, but since June is coming up and so is summer, I plan on to relieve that tension by going on vacation and seeing all my family and friends I haven’t seen in a while.
All together the school year, and especially the month of May is a very stressful time for most students, with grading, keystones, AP testing and graduating but people being able to relieve all that pressure and stress as soon as summer begins is always a good thing.
