*The thing is, I moved to Chapel Hill right before my Junior year. I used to live in New York and while it was at a very prominent high school, the courses and teachers were not NEARLY as stressful and rigorous as my new school in Chapel Hill. Needless to say, it’s been a rough (very rough) Junior year and I’ll probably end it with 2 or 3 B’s on my transcript. I’ve tried so hard to get my grades up and this move hasn’t been the easiest.
I know that grades for junior year are heavily emphasized so I’m very nervous. *
