I have really bad grades in high school?
I m a sophomore in high school and I enjoy my time here at my school with all my friends but I ve never been academically smart my whole life in school and this is probably the worst I ve ever done in. I have 4 Fs and I have one month to get back on track before they send me to another school for my missing credits... I don t know what to do anymore since I have so much to do in a relatively short amount of time. if any of you have ever struggled in school and got back up let me know how you did it or any ideas you have. Any help is appreciated thank you
I got bad grades my Freshmen year in high school. Can I still go to college?
I kind of messed up my freshmen year of high school... I got an F in Algebra every quarter, I think I got a few D's, some B's and some A's... I was lazy, didn't pay attention in class, and I did almost no homework. It's just sinking in how much I messed up. If I were to buckle down and raise my grades, could I get into a somewhat reputable college? I'm hoping that I can focus on school more and get nothing below a C (and try for no C's anyway). It would be hard work but I'm just starting to realize how important going to college is. I'm so stressed about this... Thanks.
Can I still get a good job if I have bad grades in high school?
Yes! Nothing is impossible when it comes to building a life for yourself. I have a best friend who struggled in high school. She wasn't lazy or a slacker like most low B/C-average students: it was simply due to her brainpower. She constantly put effort into everything she did, yet it wasn't enough. She then realized that she just wasn't academically-sound. So, I helped her excel. I didn't force her to go above her current capabilities every time she tackled her homework: I taught her how to integrate what she already knows into her answers. I taught her how to write opinions well, analyze ideas and draw conclusions, etc.She kept working hard, and she graduated with a Visual Arts scholarship worth $2500 For Students Entering Art School. Her passion was art (she's still INSANELY superb at it). Two years after high school and she now intends to enroll in community college to pursue a Health career. Bottom line: what interests you? What career paths can utilize your skills/interests/talents? Go back to school if you want! Get a job! Work your way up the ladder and take your time. It's about connecting all the resources available to you and making them work to your advantage.
I'm a 9th grader who is bad grades, can i still go to UCLA school of medicine?
Yes, grades is not all the matters. People tell you that who spent a ton of time working on grades, cause they don't want to think they totally waisted their lives for nothing. Join a lot of activites, do martial arts, be a camp counciler some summer, volenteer places, learn some interesting skills like sailing, fencing, horseback riding, do sports, play a musical instrument in the band (this is a big one, for some reason colleges love 3-4 years of music and band), be a captain of a sport, ect. INTERN!!! Work at a hospital or a doctors office for a summer or 2 or after school. Schools love it when your already on your way to your career, it makes you seem like a solid investment, as in you already know you want to do something and your not going to change your mind. Be vary diverse and interesting. Get good SAT scores, and try to do well in your classes. Take AP (college level classes offered at high schools around the country, ask your acidemic counsler about them), those look great to colleges, and be good (as in don't get into any trouble) Write a great essay when you apply, but don't bring up your grades at all. If they ask, just tell them you were having some family issues during that time, but these things happen and your back on track. Don't worry about your grades, they're not the soul thing colleges look at, no matter what people say.
Is it fair for my parents to keep me grounded for one bad grade?
i know they're my parents and they can do whatever they want with me.. but just tell me your opinion. i'm in seventh grade.. i do have a history of not getting the best grades and not doing my work.. my parents grounded me until they were up. now i have all A's and B's and one F. is it fair for them to keep me grounded? i've been doing nothing but school work for the past week.. it really disapoints me that i've been working my butt off and they still aren't up and my parents don't care that i've been trying my hardest. oh, and i can't move down in that class to developmental because theres only one level.
How can I not slack off in school ?
Okay so when I start back going to school, in the beginning of the school year i'm normally motivated, focused, and doing well. But then in the middle of the school year, or a little after the beginning of the school year I start to slack badly. I get nearly two F's when this happens.. How do I avoid this ? Is there any way to keep myself motivated, and not slack off ? Sometimes when I don't see myself doing well I just don't care anymore(which I don't want to happen) Btw, i'm in the 10th grade. I don't want replies of things that I should "tell myself", or "just keep in contact with your teachers"(when the problem is im not motivated enough to keep in contact with my teachers) I see plenty of answers/replies such as these which tend to not help me. Someone help, and thanks.
I am failing one of my classes, should I even show up for the final?
One of my grad school professors told a story of his days at UT Austin. He had blown off a course not in his major. There was no way for him to pass the course. So he decided to skip the final exam and go home early.A few miles out of Austin, he reconsidered. In those days, taking exams was an obligation. There was disappointment with an F, but no shame. Quitting was another matter. So, he turned around, returning to take the exam.When he showed up for the exam, there was a different professor at the front of the class. The professor of record had died. No one could find his grade book or the final exam. So the new professor offered each student the opportunity to repeat the course at no cost or accept a C.I’m not sure that this had a profound effect on Coke. But, he got his C. While not sufficient grounds for hope, note that he went on to become a professor!As long as the solution to your problem doesn’t require a time machine, go to your professor. No excuses. No whining. No begging. Just admit that you didn’t get the job done but would like to know if there are any alternatives.If the professor says no, be courteous. Be more diligent and better prepared when you take the course again. Do not flounder. Pilot your ship.If the professor tells you there is no need for you to take the final exam, refocus. Spend your time preparing for your other exams. Do not compound the setback by dwelling on what has happened. Move forward. Pilot your ship.You have the precious gift of life. You have the opportunity to develop your mind and your heart at university. If there were no real trials for you, you might go through life on autopilot. I bet you know what I am going to say next.Learn from experience. Pilot your ship.Best,Bill
