<p>You are not sitting well with having a low GPA your first year of school and you have a long road ahead of you. That being said, this is a good time to start fostering relationships with your teachers (in only appropriate ways) and building your roundness as a student. You seem enthusiastic, which is good, but do not lose site of your goal; whatever that may be years from now. Feel free to chance me back, I like all kinds of perspective.</p>
