I had a cumulative 3.6
I had mostly As... maybe a B in there.
But you can take easy courses and still be straight As. I took College Prep English courses up until Senior year. I had Algebra and Geometry and Trig. They challenged me enough to where I wasn't overloaded with homework and short on brainpower.
But Senior year I had problems in AP English... I was staying up late doing the work and I burned the candle at both ends. Most of my other classes suffered too. I got Bs and Cs. On the other hand, I never knew what it was like to be average. Unknowingly I wound up that way by the end of the year.
But I think it help me realize that I took my A's for granted. And that I shouldn't rush myself to be the best when in reality there are people much smarter than me. I compared myself to other people thinking that I was as good as "Them", and I came to find out "they" were the top ranking kids in the class. And that's why you have to know your limits.
I got mostly As... but the Bs and Cs... and even the Ds and Es on assignments Senior year made me realize that it's not all about the grade, but what you learn from the classes you take.

Yes. I was a straight A student in junior high through high school. I also had perfect attendance for all those years (although I missed a couple of days during h.s.) My home-room teachers always expected me to be in my seat, and just checked me in automatically without looking. I even pointed this fact out, as a matter of honor. They said, "Don't worry about it, and I got the award."

I was until I was 17 and my mom had a stroke the second semester of my junior year...I had to drop out and get my GED. I actually scored in the top 10 in the state of Tennessee for that year for the GED, also. I have not continued my education because I now have 4 children at the age of 24. Lot of good it did me, huh?

Did not need to be a straight "A" student. School did not teach me how to be a Millionaire!!! They just taught students how to go to work for a living and told us to go to college to spend more money on education

More often then not people to a 180 from hhigh school to college (should they persue that route).
In my experiance, if you do lousy in high school you may do very well in college, and should you rock in high school you may get lost in the atmosphere of college and get taken down a notch or two.
I had something like a 2.85 in high school and walked with honors from college - just apply yourself and understand that the stakes in college are WAY higher then in high school. Apply yourself to your dreams and you cannot go wrong.
Take it easy out there!
