I can feel where you are coming from. I have honestly for the very first time applied myself in my classes ever in my life (last time I really tried was 7th-8th grade) and there were some days where I had to do assignments and felt overwhelmed. For one English class, I barely passed with a C, but I think in order for me to have done better in that class, I should have been aware about how to organize my folder a little better, have a little better study skills and learn how to follow directions a little bit better. In one class, I thought I had an A in that class, but I literally messed up on understanding the directions of a big final project, plus I scored low on the final, dropping my grade to a low B. I literally tried for the first time in my life, got 1 A, 1 B and 1 C, and I actually was aware of what I have done wrong in my 2 classes. So for my English classes, I think I need to organize my folder a little more better, check in with my teacher more often to clarify what I need to for each class meeting, be clear about understanding the directions for each assignment, and know what study method works the best for me whenever I have to take a test. I did okay in elementary and middle, took the hugest nose dive in high school, didn't really give a s**t back then, got in to so much trouble, and was super stressed. I messed 4 semesters up in community college, and now I haven't been serious this much about trying. I am not going to give up and I hope I get into a good school after transffering.
