any inspirational/motivational stories?

hello!
my brother has been feeling really really down lately. By down i mean depression, anxiety, and stress. its been a crazy few months. one of his teacher is unfair and have him a C even though he deserves better, which is unfair because teacher plays favorites and gives people who don’t do any work higher grades and plus he’s put in a ton of work into that class and the teacher doesn’t like him. this C kind of made it worse because he has two C’s this year. for a straight A student, it hurt him alot. he’s been really depressed for 3 years now and this year it got worse. it affected his grades and teachers don’t understand this. his main issue is how will colleges look at the C’s. i hate to see him like this. i think he needs some inspiration right now.i want to show him that it is not the end of the world yet. he’s a bright kid with a great future ahead of him. he wants to do engineering so due to the competition he is scared he won’t get in and if he does, he’ll do horridly. so, does anyone have inspirational/ motivational stories of having alright grades and getting into a good school or having alright grades in hs and doing amazing in college? thanks!

This is from @vozvratsaa and maybe it will give your brother some perspective. Beyond inspirational stories, I hope your parents are aware of the depression and are getting him the medical attention he needs. Good luck!
