Calming myself, I thought “How did I even get in this mess!” Ten minutes ago, I was eating my chocolate pretzels in my second grade classroom, trying to solve this complex problem. I looked around, I see all my friends struggling as well. My snack had cause me to have a sickening feeling, “Stupid chocolate pretzels, I am trying to focus.” I thought.
