A Year of Failure

There are plenty of stories… and I mean PLENTY of people bouncing back. A good example is my brother’s friend who graduated from high school with a 4.5 GPA and 1600 SAT score (it was that long ago), went to Cal Poly SLO, was kicked out after her sophomore year because she turned to partying, went to a community college for a year with a 4.0 GPA, was accepted to attend UCLA, and graduated magma cum laude. She’s now in graduate school and I assume doing very well.

I have a good friend who also went to SLO and was kicked out because he had a 1.4 GPA and again, went to a community college for a year with a 3.8 GPA, and is now back at SLO and his past 3 semesters have been at least 3.6 GPA in each.

There have been plenty of failures that have turned into great successes. You just need to make sure to turn it around and do your best.
