<p>Are you now just a rising junior in high school? If so, just keep working hard -- you're on the right path. Maintain a vision of your academic goals. Focus on learning so you can develop some genuine passions that will help you steer your future. Don't worry about a B if you are challenging yourself academically. </p>

<p>While it's good to gain some sense as to where you're heading, all the "projections" you are doing are very speculative. Stop projecting so far ahead. Focus on TODAY, and the FUTURE will take care of itself. Good luck!</p>
