Covid really affected my grades, I don’t want to make excuses but I was going thru stuff at home during middle school and covid made my mental health worse, and then high school started out strong but my sophomore year was hit with curve ball and I transferred to an online school which made me feel like a loser so I gave up which hurt my gpa again but I worked hard my senior yr an graduated early. I wish I had the proper guidance in middle-high school I wish I tried harder.

But now I’m in my first of college and I’ve been working hard since the first day of the semester, I’m older, I’ve learned and realized education is beyond important and I’m privileged to be able to go to college, I agree I think ppl in high school should work hard and get good grades but I also think putting your self in other ppls shoes is also important.

there’s a myriad of reasons why someone’s GPA may be low, for me i was depressed as fuck lol. who wants to do homework when you barely even want to be alive? also pretty sure all 50 states require public school teachers to have at least a bachelor’s degree so how were you teaching before even going to undergrad

shit happens but it's good to own up to your mistakes so you can learn from it! someone's attitude is what tells you when it's an excuse vs an explanation, and yours feels like an explanation

No to be mean for assuming, but your parents had to be super absent from your schooling for the school to just let your GPA drop so low because if a parent shows a grain of interest, administrators will bully the teachers of that student to raise that student’s grades because they now know/think the parent is checking.

i was unmedicated and had external factors that rly put a damper on my motivation. we had different high school experiences clearly. and clearly we’re at the same college so did it rly matter in the end?

u stated that you did better than me in school even tho we were both unmedicated at the time… it def seems like u were trying to do something different than just “stating ur experience”

fr the period of isolation rly accelerated my disorders and while it eventually led to me getting diagnosed and medicated, i wasn’t able to recoup my grades in time to pull my GPA up. yet here i am, with them in the same college. strange how it didn’t matter a whole lot in the end

I had severe mental health issues and home issues in high school. Like I went to the psych ward 5 times between the ages of 13-16. My GPA was about 2.17. I graduated on time in 2018. I just didn’t care about school until I was a junior. For senior year, I was a straight A student and got my GPA to 3.5 for that year specifically.

my dad moved to arizona and left my sisters and i suddenly after having raised us for 14 years. no warning. just gone. he got rid of all the clothes we left at his house, he took the dog, sold our childhood furniture that we still used. we found out about all of this two days before my older sisters high school graduation. so, rather naturally, i started doing awful in school because i just didn't have any part of me left that cared anymore. but yeah, excuses.

i also had unmedicated adhd and narcolepsy and fibromyalgia and severe depression (all which are being taken care of now) and still had a 3.7. but i fear that it was more from being scared of my asian parents rather than my own motivation to do well LOL my adhd was serious but i think more of it affected my social life rather than academics
