Hello,
Im a Sophomore in High School, and have had a little tough time with High School. My Freshman year… well it was completely crappy (Avg. 82), and it brought me down… ALOT. SO as soon as this year started I went off. My grades were Solid A’s, and I was very competitive, but sadly I am still suffering from my Parent’s Divorce (reason for low grades, medically depressed). I went to the World Championships for Robotics in April, and that set my grades back a little, and i kind of fell off the cliff once again… (Avg. 88). I am enrolled this summer to take Pre-Cal, and Physics 2 Hybrid at my local Community College, and just needed some advice. Thanks.
