Hi everyone! New account cause I wanted to stop being a lurker. So I’m a high school junior planning to major in design media/ digital arts, I moved to the US after my freshman year in Canada, so never had the chance to step on the honors path early. Consequently, the differences in curriculum and teaching habits had me struggling immensely my sophomore year and therefore my grades weren’t great, but they’re getting better.
