Did you know I used to fake showers as a kid?
That doesn't seem right, why fake showers?
It was a great way to avoid doing homework
Your parents were probably concerned about you doing your homework.  It was wrong of you to lie to them about showering just to get out of it.  I bet you regret not learning all that stuff now!
I feel like I'm not a good student.
Well if you are a bad student don't you think it would be better to ask for help? Instead of hiding all the time getting help can slow down things and help you in a one on one with all the attention you need.
