I haven’t done great in highschool and I have no idea why. Right now I have around a 3.6, but that’s in part due to freshman year when my classes were more homework and completion based. My grades dropped sophomore year, and now they’re only getting worse. I have trouble writing essays, but have no idea how to improve. The things wrong with my essays are different every time, and I’m sick of getting Bs on them. But the weird thing is that sometimes I’ll completely blow off an essay and get a fantastic grade. Sophomore year I wrote what I thought was an awful final essay, but received a 100. I have no idea what a good essay is anymore. In APUSH, I have no idea how to study, and consistently get Bs on my tests. I feel like everyone I know is smarter than me. How do I fix this?
Do you spend time engaging with your teachers?
Do you spend a large amount of time gaming or on the internet?
Oh no a B!
