Dr. Molly’s Answer①

You should tell him about your dream and that if you work really hard, I might happen even though you start late. The sooner you tell your dad how you feel, the sooner you’ll be able to work on making your dream come true.

Dr. Molly’s Answer②

Nobody knows you are at your new school You have nothing to lose, so gather up all your courage and go over to someone who looks friendly and introduce yourself. You can ask that person about your teacher or the other kids in your class to break the ice. Good luck!

Dr. Molly’s Answer③

It’s better to tell your mom the truth than for her to find out another way. When you tell her, explain why you failed the test. Ask her if she can help you study in the future, so you’ll do better on your tests and also have time for the soccer you love.

Dr. Molly’s Answer④

Just be yourself and try not to care about what others think, The more you think about it, the worse you will fee. Always act strong and confident. Even if you are a little unsure of something, don’t doubt your abilities to do things right, Just relax.
