The first year that I started high school, Florida decided to remove FCAT and bring in the EOC. The EOC has now been made for all classes and electives! Most teenagers in Miami feel that they're failures because they don't pass the EOC and have been retaking it more than three times. I feel that the state should know how we feel about these exams. Life isn't easy, but I want to live these last two years of high school without stressing and also knowing that the Common Core (another exam) will be given to my younger siblings and my children in the future.
