<p>So, I'm a bit worried.. English is my best subject yet I got a B+ in my freshman year and an A- in my sophomore year. I did earn an A in my junior year, though! I'm sure that I'll get an A next year as well because I'm working my ass off..</p>
<p>My English teacher in my freshman year had health problems and missed months of school. Even if he was there, we usually did nothing. We had one or two tests and a few assignments. Apparently, almost every student in every class of his received B's since he didn't have much of anything to base our grades on. I did earn one of the only A's on the midterm! </p>
<p>My A- in my sophomore year was my fault.. I got an A- first semester (I was just learning what was expected of the class), an A second semester (I got the hang of it), a B+ (I handed in an essay late..dropping the grade from an A to a C) third semester and an A fourth semester.</p>
<p>So, do you think that I should have my guidance counselor explain my English grade in my freshman year? I'm a strong writer as evidenced by my leadership on my school's literary magazine and newspaper, my work as a freelance writer, and national writing awards.</p>
