Like I said, you don’t have to worry about getting into a “good college” right now. Your main focus right now should be making the best grades you possibly can without burning yourself out and trying out new extracurriculars. Don’t let your GPA make you feel like you have no contribution to make to the world. You have a lot of time, so enjoy it while you still can. Your next three years of high school will be really tough so it’s very important that you develop a growth mindset as early as possible. Learn from your mistakes on quizzes/tests, don’t be afraid to ask for help, do all your homework, go to tutorials, do whatever it takes to make the best grade you possibly can. Don’t let the toxic atmosphere of high school get to you.
