Will my grades on my first year of highschool dramatically affect my college changes?

Applying to College

Hi guys! I’m just about to wrap up my first year of highschool… and honestly I’m a bit worried.
I came into highschool with 1 credit in english 1 honors (final grade a B but honestly most of the time I was making a c) and half a credit in personal finance.
I got all a’s and b’s this year in almost all of my classes with just 1 c.
The thing that is worrying me though is that I’m probably going to end up with a C for my english 2 honors final grade…
I’ve been paranoid since last year I didn’t exactly do the best in my english 1. I’m planning on going to a normal english class next year, but I was wondering if colleges would be bothered if they see this slip in english? I’m just wanting to go to a decent art school :frowning:

Thanks!

For art school, your portfolio will be what matters. Your grades should be good, but one C peobably won’t cause problems at all.

Do meet with your English teacher and see if you can figure out what went wrong in that class. That way you can do better next year.
