First for math I wanted to know what I need to make on my next test to bring up my grades by 2 points. Its a Major grade test and its worth 49 points. I have a 78 in English pre-ap, so what grade do I need on this next test to make my grade into atleast an 80!

Second I have to write an Expository Essay which is worth 49 points like I said above. I would like it it any author will point out mistakes and help me with wording and my thesis statment! 

Topic: Write an essay explaining how a challenging situation can build charactar or have a positive influence on a person's life

  In highschool your grades are your top priority, but geometry is a difficult course for some people. They find it hard to maintain a satisfying overall grade for the semester, and it effects there GPA alot. By working through your challenges in geometry you can leave a positive influence on your grades.

  Take student A for example. For every test, and or quiz she received her grades always backfired on her. Instead of stressing of stressing over her unsatisfied grades she prioritized her geometry class, and took on the challenges ahead of her. Everymorning she arrived early, and got help from her geometry teacher. She learned the concepts and formulas for geometry, and got her blurred thoughts cleaned up. She pinpointed her weaknesses, and did the problems for practice in her free time. After every ounce of hard work she poured into that class student A managed an A- for the rest of the year, and got into the top 10% of the school.

  Despite the lack of passing grades at first she still managed to pull through with her hard work. Her determination built her strong attitude which she will be able to use in a reoccuring situation. 

It seems really short on here, but my teacher gave us a page with exactly 26 lines and I only have 3 lines left over..I accept and feedback with a big heart! 

please and thankyou!
