<p>I usually would get mid to high 80s and 90s on my report card freshman and sophomore year… But this year it is a different story. First and second semester, I got pretty decent grades, some 80s and 90s… But this marking period I really slipped and got a few very bad grades. I don’t fully know the averages yet, I don’t know whats going on, but I really want to go to a good college like Stockton or Rutgers, and I need to bring up my grades for the remainder of this semester and for next semester if I want to go to those colleges. (this semester ends in a week.) So if I can boost my grades, can I still get in these schools? And what can I do to motivate myself and boost my grades?</p>
