<p>Freshman year, was, well, sub-par to say the least, and I emerged with a 2.8 GPA with a wide variety of A's, B's, and C's. Things have gotten progressively worse since then, and I just ended my sophomore year today. My term three grades were the highlight of this year, with many A's and B's across the board, but by the time fourth term came around, something changed with my mindset, and I fell flat on my face. My Astronomy grade had dropped from a 90 to an 81, my Honors English grade from a 99 to an 81, and my Chemistry grade fell from an 86 to a 71. My Honors History and Geometry grades were the only ones that really sat comfortably at solid B's this entire year, but after I received a poor grade on an essay late in the year, I reverted to plagiarism and ended up receiving a zero for the assignment. My grade dropped to a 74. My Geometry grade, after a few bad tests and quizzes, went down to a 77, but my term grade remained as an 87.</p>
<p>Finals for some classes went better than others, and there were a few parts to the English and History finals that were supposed to be done at home, which well, I didn't really finish (which caused those grades to drop, among other things). I took my final for Chemistry today, and depending on how I did, that, I might have fallen to a D+, but since that test is being graded on a curve, I can't really tell for sure. My Geometry grade might end up being bumped up to a B for the same reason, but a test bringing up a grade three points just doesn't that possible.</p>
<p>By and large, I'm probably going to see at least two F's and three C's on my report card for term four, and no A's. That has never happened with me before, ever. My overall grades, as a review, look to be this:
Honors English: B-
Honors History: C to C-
Geometry: C+ to B-
Honors Astronomy: B-
Spanish III: B to B+
Chemistry: D+ at worst to C at best</p>
<p>I'm just not sure what to do now, honestly. My biggest fear is only being able to get into community college, while my twin brother, (who currently has a 3.7) has all these other options available to him. I need to know how much this is going to bring down my already pitiful GPA, and how much I can bring it up through junior and the first term of senior grades. I'm not assuming that doing well in junior year will really help it much, but at this time, when the disappointment has already sunk in, I need some reassurance. Thanks.</p>
