Should I be worried?

I used to be a really good student back in junior high where I was the top 3 student in my school but I had let it get to me, and along with soccer which really distracted me seeing how I spent no less than 4 hours at the court everyday instead of attending lectures, my grades started tumbling when I started senior high.

The thing is I am a US citizen, residing in Singapore where I graduated with a High School Diploma in Chemical Engineering, with a really bad gpa of 1.9.

Honestly I am viewing this as my second chance at studying, and I’d really like to major again in chemical engineering but I don’t know if I should be positive about my chances at being admitted to a university like the University of Minnesota, Duluth to study Chem Eng.

I will be coming back to the states this august to enrol in a community college before applying to transfer to the UMD’s sophmore.

Maybe the reason why I am worried is because I have to submit my high school gpa results (1.9), and that itself is worrying.

I know I won’t screw up this time. I’ve learned my lesson, but help! Should I be honestly worried?
