<p>Well I have to tell the truth, finally I have reached a the most depressing part of my high school life. I have done terrible in my 3 years of high school equaling to a 70 Avg. I see all of my friends making their college list, going away to prestigious programs in the summer, and pulling 95 AVG with 4-5 Ap classes. Then today my English teacher refused to let me attempt to take the AP English class. The sad part about this is that I know that I am a top 20 student. I've been hearing the same speech about not living up to my potential for the last 3 years, and although I have been doing better, I think that its to late to change anything at all. I have an essay due on monday to get into AP world history, my teacher told me that if I write a decent essay I am assured in ( I had him for US history this year and excelled). But I am debating if I want to do it or not. I've come to the conclusion that I will be going to community college no matter what. Although my goal was to go for one year, and then transfer to Fordham, but now I don't even think that's possible.
Any advice would be greatly appriciated</p>
<p>Just roll with it. You can still lead a happy life without being what others define as elitely successful. Even so, your life is never “over” until you say it is.</p>
<p>Too many people here have become super depressed because they couldn’t get a 2200 on their SAT’s or something. Don’t believe the hype</p>
<p>Okay so you’ve screwd up- lets face reality. But hey, its not the end! I know many kids that have gone to community colleges their first year, and transferred to prestigious schools (like the ivys) and have done superb. You should be satisified to realize your mistakes and flaws; you will get somewhere.</p>
<p>Trust me I will be successful. I compete in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, on a national level, and soon internationally. I have a job working at the gym once I am done with school and will eventually own one. But I was always told that I need my education first because it improves my worth to the business. I guess I should just look at it as a road block</p>
<p>Just be glad you aren’t a Boston Bruins fan!</p>
<p>Lol I am the opposite, Yankees all day, I live 8 minutes from the stadium Bronx born and raised. But yeah that was a bad collapse.</p>
<p>^^ lol yeah. It’s scary how much that game was pretty much the series in microcosm.
It almost makes me relieved that I’m a Leafs fan</p>
<p>^^Well than Oswald, you have lived it (2004). Sucks for Bruins fans. I feel for them, though I can’t imagine what they are going through. Tuukka was cooled off anyhow, they wouldn’t have made it by the Habs.</p>
<p>I hate Philthadelphia, and I also don’t like the Bruins, but I was pulling for the B’s because they are the lesser of two evils. Maybe the Whalers will be back some day and playing in the playoffs.</p>

Doesn’t look so bad to me!</p>
<p>No, but in all seriousness, keep your head up. If there’s one thing I’ve learned it’s that there’s always time to change. It sounds to me like maybe a rough freshman or sophomore year hurt your confidence, maybe causing you not to live up to your potential, but that doesn’t mean you can’t next year! Think about it this way: if you try as hard as you can, you’ll have so many chances, you have to right at some point!</p>
<p>Best of luck!</p>
<p>You can’t change your past – why cry over it? Just admit that you made mistakes and just try to do your best now and in the future. I wish I can do my whole life over, but I can’t. Same with you. So just come into the light now and do good from now on. You probably will do good if you want to, believe that you will, and try your hardest from now on.</p>
<p>(Lol, that sounded harsh and cheesy, but it’s the truth.)</p>
