GOOD FOR YOU FOR NOT DROPPING OUT OF SCHOOL BECUZ OF YOUR PREGNANCY! GOOD LUCK!

Boy, some answers sure are mean!\n\nCongratulations on graduating!\n\nIf you did not fill out any applications then you should get started now. You won't make it in time for Fall semester, but you are ahead of the game for the next year.  That gives you some time to really investigate schools and decide your major. Lucky you!\n\nIf you are in a hurry to get started, you can go to your local community college and try to take some of the basics that will transfer on to your University of choice.\n\nGoing to college helps you to grow in so many ways, and helps to secure a decent future. It's a great idea, so don't let anyone slow you down or get in your way!

PLease whatever you do DO NOT DROP OUT OF SCHOOL!!!! From a woman who is struggling herself, i envy you that you are in high school and still have a chance to make it. I understand that thngs are tough right now, but it will pay off. You have to sacrifice a few things to make it in this world. Dropping out of school is not an option and you will regret it for the rest of your life. You will not get these years back. I was sitting on the bus and watched the high school kids going to school and i almost wanted to cry. I cannot go back in time and fix what I did. If i knew then what I know now, I would have been in the front of the class, front and center, on time and did extra work on my projects. Then maybe i could have gone to Princeton or something. if you do this, you will be having to play catch up all of your life. Your situation is just hard now, NOW. it will not be the same tomorrow. Would you really want to ruin your life because of a small obstacle now. Please think about this. I had to do some regrettable things in my life and dropping out was one of them. I played catch up and i am 23 and still struggling while i have a friend who is 25 and is already working on his Masters degree at LIU. I envy him so much and it makes me look at my life. I have an Associates degree and am planning on "trying" to get my Bachelors one day, hopefully soon, but all of the struggles i had to overcome are unimaginable. The shame hurts more. So please, while you are still young and have a chance to be somebody, stay in school and do your best with what you have. If not for your family, for ME or anyone, but do it for yourself. I would hope that you do become successful and live a life free of worries. Make the right decision and stay in school.

I believe I would try to go to the doctor and explain that you did have what you thought was a self-diagnosed ear infection and stayed home for two weeks because of it.  It may cost you the price of an office visit but it may be worth it to save your grades.  I would think twice before taking any more time off of school for any reason, even if you feel sick in the future.  Let your teachers see that you are glad to be there and that you are going to be there, regardless.  Maybe if they see you exerting some effort, they will be less likely to request a doctor's note next time.  Good Luck.

Your teacher wont mark the final exam papers will he/she?  (I might be wrong!) Presumably your course work will count towards your final score?  I would try not to worry about it and just do your best.  If at the end of the day you feel your teacher has "failed" you then go and ask for a re-mark. ALternatively you could try talking to a school counsellor or head teacher (maybe via your parents) before the finals?  Whatever you do - good luck.

hey there...\n\nyou have a hard course right now, but freshman year is easily  the hardest. youre getting used to a new place and a new lifestyle..\n\nbut you got your self this far so dont lose steam yet! some weekend when you have some time to yourself go somewhere to RELAX. and then when you come back to school you'll be refreshed and ready for the work. youre obviously stressed right now and thats understandable, because there are many people who are feeling the same way you are. im sure there are support groups to help with stressed out students and the best way to relieve stress is to get it out of your system! just vent!\n\ngood luck, i know youve got it in you.

I will pass on some advice I was given just a few years ago when I went to nursing school and had children in aprox. the same grades:  Chef Boyardee and Franco American are fantastic cooks!!!  Believe me, my kids hate the stuff now but we existed on it for the 2 years I was in the program. You will NEED to set up some time for yourself to study. What I did was set a bedtime 7:30 and all the time up until that was for me and the kids. After they went to bed I cracked my books, sometimes I could crack them while they were up but I never retained what I read. Don't be afraid to ask for help is also very important. Kentucky had some childcare grants---FREE that allowed me to afford childcare for those times when school was cancelled or had a half day. You can get some tips by getting in contact with the nursing dept. at the school you plan on attending and find out if such a program exists in your state. You are also better off getting the basic req.s out of the way first. You won't have time if they throw in some community service or clinicals after class. The hours are never what they tell you they are going to be. I also used multi colored pens to rewrite my notes at the end of the day so that important info stuck out.

School is tough at times - no doubt!  It's good that you are stressed... it means you care!  Of course feeling stressed isn't much fun, though!  Sorry to hear you're having a tough time.\n\nFirst, because you care, you can pull through this!  I've been in your shoes before... I'm now on the other end of a college degree and lovin' it.  I wasn't a scholar by any means, but asked for help and ended up on the Dean's list my last five semesters.... believe me, if I can do it, so can you!    \n\nNot knowing you or how you approach things, it's hard to address specifics... rather than making assumptions, I'll cover a range of things in case any of them pertain to you... with that being said, whatever you're doing right now isn't working, so obviously you need to find a different way of studying, etc.  Here are some general tips... feel free to take 'em or leave 'em.\n\nAre you giving 100%?  If so, unfortunately our best isn't always good enough to get the results we want... but at the end of the day, when you look youtrself in the mirror... there's something about knowing you did your best.  If you continue to try your best, you will sort it out.  Of course if you're not trying 100%, then that's where you start... commit to do it!\n\nI would first start by going to your professors or teachers... go over past tests, papers, etc. and see where you didn't do well.  Ask for advice on how to study for his/her class... and find out if he/she knows of any study groups or other students from whom you could receive some additional help/tutoring.  If the class is small enough, they may be able to offer up other observations/suggestions as well.  Also, let them know how you feel and that you want to improve... they are human and all "signed on" to do this as a profession... they are there to help!\n\nThen... examine how you study... and where you study... find a place that is conduscive to studying... if you're near a TV or singing to a song on the radio... or near others where you are being distracted, it's time to find a new place to study.  Also, are you a morning person?  Know yourself... what time(s) of the day are you most alert, etc?  Try to study during those times... your mind associates certain places with certain activities... bedroom = sleep, kitchen = eating, etc.  I found going to the library and getting away form everyting was the best thing for me... and once I got into the routine, I noticed my grades improved... I knew once I stepped into the library, it was study time.  Establishing good sleep and other habits helps as well.  \n\nGo to class every day... skipping is a easy habit to get into - I've been there & it'll do ya in!  If ya don't skip, don't start!\n\nDo you cram for tests?  If so, it doesn't work... not usually anyway.  Procrastination will kick ya in the pants too... and can burn ya!  I had a coach that once said, "fail to prepare, prepare to fail."  Same holds true for school.  If in college, there should be some free academic assistance or tutoring centers that have staff that can address this stuff... same goes for proof reading papers before you hand then in... in in High school, there should be someone who can help you find these resources. Remember, no one makes it alone!  I'm assuming if you can ask for help on Yahoo, that you'd be willing to ask for help at school.  Smart people know when to ask for help!      \n\nRemember, balance is key!  Your future (in a career sense & lifestyle) depends on school... take care of business first... work hard when you have to, then play hard when ya can... finding the balance is key, because you do need both.\n\nSometimes easier said than done, but tell friends that you're struggling... let then know what you need or don't need from them... if friends undersatnd, that helps!\n\nStudy tip... take notes... first, make sure you're t

Dearborn. If you can, take the class they ususally offer just before you take the test. It will help you big time. A friend of mine failed the test three times. Finally got him to take the class and he passed.

Same problem..so I hear ya.  I also however, don't have the determination to get in there do my thing in school and finish it out.  The best thing I did as an eye opener was make an appointment to talk to one of the counselors at the school.  They did assessments with me, and tests to see what I was good at and in and what I would do awful to be in.  This narrowed out things..and brought things to light that I probably shouldn't do when I actually considered or tried them before (no wonder they didn't work).  So in the end I was left with a much smaller number of career/school choices to research more and choose from.  We even talked about things in my personal life that may interfere or why I felt the way I did about school.  It helped me out tremendously..good luck!

I don't know what kind of random hits your teacher is making on the students.  Perhaps you can't get past that?  I went to three universities and graduated with a 4.0 GPA in all.  The key to my good grades was my note taking.  I took amazing notes and then when I got home, I went through them and outlined my notes making more sense of them.  By the time I got through outlining and making a really nice bunch of note pages, I knew the material.  It helps to not be freaked out by tests as well.  They never bothered me.  You either know it or you don't.  I think trying to study at the last minute outside the classroom door is foolish.  All that can do is get you all nervous and confused.  Even being around other students who are panicking over their last minute studying will have a negative effect on you.  I stayed away from the classroom and those students until the very last minute and didn't crack a book before the test.  Like I said, "If I didn't know it when I got there, I wasn't going to learn it in 5 minutes!"  I also helped other students study for their exams (the same ones I was taking) and this also solidified the information in my brain.  In that case, you give and you get something in return.  If there was an area which was extremely difficult to grasp onto, I stayed after class and talked to the instructor or made use of the computer programs available for that particular subject.  Good grades take hard work.  Your grades to date are not to be sneezed at, so don't be so hard on yourself.

Do you have doubts that you will, pass? have you been studying and doing your best. if there are areas of study that your having difficulty with be sure to ask your teacher and she can help you. also, there are some programs in the summer at the library that may help you prepare for the new school year. good luck! believe in yourself!

First of all--stop being so hard on yourself.  You have a great GPA.  You should be proud of yourself for being able to do so well in challenging classes with a learning disability.  You have what it takes--don't give up--and it will pay off for you eventually.

There was this girl I went to nursing school with.  I was a 4.0 student and she struggled.  She always sat at the table with me during class and I often found her copying off of me for answers. Especially off my scantrons so I usually tried very hard to conceal my answers.\n\nNear the end of a class semester I had so many extra credit points that I could fail the last few tests and totally pass with an A.\n\nSo what did I do? I did not hide my scantron.  Usually during the multiple choice tests there was always one joke answer. Like what is the function of the uterus. Answer....to hatch eggs.  So I picked all the stupid answers.\n\nI don't even think this girl read the questions because when we got our tests back we both had 0 right and she actually got mad at me!\n\nMy teacher caught on to what I did and booted her from the class.\n\nI got to retake the test, not that I needed to or anything.

YES, and stay your course.Work hard to finish school and don't let that piece of s%#t make you feel guilty for anything you have done. Don't let someone like him drag you down. Its gonna be rough for a while, but you definitely don't need anybody to make things harder. Hang in there, it will be worth it.

I actually have a big problem when it comes to school myself. Im actually very intelligent, (sorry for flaunting it hehe)  but I have a problem with work ethic. As a result, my grades are suffering and Im underachieving tremendously. I gathered from this rather qucikly that school is what you make it...and getting good grades seriously enhances the overall experience.\n\nSo I would say grow a pair and study/do homework..believe me, life is alot easier when you get good grades
