<p>So, I'm in the second week of my junior year and I joined debate class. However, I sorta got stuck in debate 2 since the teacher was confused about how the class would work since I wasn't a freshman or a sophomore. So since he didn't want me to be in a class with freshmen, he placed me in debate 2. There's Saturday competitions (4 a year) and a club meeting at least once a week. This isn't too bad. Except, I just did my first real assignment today of improve and even though I tried REALLY hard and I did pretty decent timing, I got an F! Now I'm at a C in the class. I know I shouldn't be freaking out, it's the beginning of the school year and I can raise it up, but if I suck so bad at such a simple assignment, how am I gonna do on tournaments? And those are worth 50 percent of your grade AND are based on how you preform. I know debate looks good on colleges but I'm not sure if it'll be great if it brings my GPA down. Should I switch to another class and completely drop it?( I can't join the club without the class) also, I have a pretty hectic schedule as well; ap lang, ap calc, apush, physics hon. Also this is the year I wanna focus on sat/act as well. Debate class is fun and the teacher is AMAZING and we have interesting discussions, I'm just really conflicted if I want this to negatively affect me. So, do I switch? </p>
