And plus, everyone here at CC has recieved straight A’s their whole life and is taking something like BC Calc and Differential Equations as a sophomore, while I STRUGGLE to get a high C in Algebra II.

</p>

<p>Boy are you ill-informed.</p>

<p>

I feel like such a LOSER!!! I want to go to an excellent college too like all the smarties out here, but I feel like I just totally blew it!!!

</p>

<p>Well, no one ever got into an “excellent college” feeling like a loser.</p>

<p>

Maybe someone who has been though the whole high school experience, got grades like me, and makes a good living for themselves today??

<p>George Bush? He entered Yale with an SAT of 1206 and graduated from there with a 2.35 GPA.</p>

<p>Right now, I’m nearly vomiting because of your silliness. If you got a C, well guess what? Life sucks and you can’t go back in time and change it. Get over it and don’t kill yourself next year. It’s not what grades you get in school that determine your life. If you don’t like Algebra then don’t go into a math-related job. Etc.</p>

<p>Stop the pity party and move on with your life. Anyone who thinks he/she is a loser IS the loser. If you think you suck, you suck. YOU determine whether you are a loser or not–and if you know you aren’t (because grades don’t mean sh1te in life), then you AREN’T.</p>

<p>That’s not to say don’t try at all. You know what you’re good at and that’s what you focus on. If you’re not a bio person then don’t worry about bio grades. If you are, then you’ll be more motivated to work hard.</p>

<p>Thanks. Looking back i was caught up in the emotion of the moment when I started the thread, as I had just checked the grade. I understand that grades don’t determine everything and that I should relax. I’m not worried anymore now that it has been a few days and the problem is resolved. Thanks though for the snap back to reality.</p>
