I’m a senior in high school, I got into good schools, and I have a “C” in physics.
I KNOW this is entirely my fault and I KNOW that I could improve it with a retest and review work. But I’m running out of time, and can’t stop thinking about how this will ruin my chances of going to any of my schools. And…
Last year me wouldn’t have been like this. She would have seen a challenge and said “game on!” and not wasted time moping- she stayed up until 12 am and did sports, she was spunky and motivated. Now I just want to hide. It’s not depression, just angst and avoidance, but I feel like crying and throwing up. I want her back. The schools want her, not this current squanderer of work. Please offer any advice, even if it’s just to say “get your ish together.”
You are unlikely to be rescinded for a single C. Go see your guidance counselor to confirm, but you should be ok. Don’t let it slip further. Go to extra help. Get a tutor if needed and ace the next couple of tests. June is nearly here. You will never think about AP physics again in just a couple of months. You don’t need to get your s__ together. You just need to work a little harder to be sure your grade doesn’t go down.
