@bestinvestor congratulations on a successful M10!! woohoooo!!
And now I’m switching to put my parent hat on for a moment: I can’t quite tell if you were kidding about being worried about a B. I just want to share a thought with you – show up, do your best, yes use the resources available to you, do all the things that will enrich your academic experience. Yes celebrate your hard work and grades! Yes to that all! But also: please don’t buy into any kind of narrative that a B is failure. Please try new things and explore in high school. This is the time! If you aren’t getting a B somewhere somehow in life then that (to me) says you haven’t gotten comfortable with being new at something. Be a beginner in some way now, so you keep that lifeskill going forward. B’s will change a GPA – I get that. and nothing wrong with a good old fashioned 4.0/straight A high school career! yay for that! But the consequences for getting an 85 are NOT getting an offer rescinded. So yes show up! do all the things! But don’t forget to give yourself some space to be a beginner. Don’t live in a B-as-failure narrative. Cheering you on!! :).
