Generally, I agree that I am a smart student and I had a 3.7 GPA in high school, and also for my first two semesters of college freshman year. However, third semester of my sophomore year I didn’t do so good because I took full time harder level courses, while working a new job as well. I got really stressed and tired, and my grades plummeted for not turning in assignments on time. It caused my entire GPA to go from a 3.7 to a 3.3. Keep in mind I am in pre-law
I realized that I am still a sophomore and I have 5 more semesters to go. However, after using a GPA calculator. I come to find that no matter how high my grades are each semester, they barely raise my 3.3 GPA. If I was to get a 3.7 for every semester, my GPA would still be low.
So now I’m thinking, what’s even the point of college now? Even if I get really good grades each semester (3.7+ and thats IF I do that good) my overall GPA will still be low. How will I ever get into law school? I don’t think it’s fair how the majority of my grades can be high, but my damn cumulative GPA is still low due to that one semester. I feel hopeless. I feel like I am now wasting my money, because no matter how hard I try, I am still stuck with that. You might say, it’s worth a try. But how is it worth a try if I’m spending so much money? I don’t even know what my future will be anymore. I feel like a failure, because I won’t be able to become a lawyer.
