If you never face what academic area you are weak in, how will you become proficient in that area? I can tell through your post that you might struggle with writing essays and the like. Is English your second language by chance? If I were you I would make friends with some kids who were great at writing essays but struggled in math or science or whatever. That way you can both study together while simultaneously tutoring each other.That way we have a more well-rounded student populace. I’d even volunteer as I am good in English writing but not so trained in mathematical areas i.e. calculus…;( And as far as your question I think one or two withdrawals are ok if they are early enough in the semester (2-4wks). If they are later, its likely ok as long as its just one,
