You might want to rephrase the sentence. Instead of " was doing so badly," you might say "when I did poorly in school"

And try to avoid using the verb "to be" in front of another verb. Instead of "he was running," write "he ran." and change "she is talking" to "she talks" It makes writing sound much more professional^^

Hmm, honest adequate. although, i'm going to nevertheless insist on calling it "chivalry" whilst my husband is going out in a snow fall for ice cream and pickles whilst i'm pregnant. he's my knight, what am i able to declare. i'm into courtesy, yet what approximately courtesies that are prolonged because of the fact of gender? whilst a guy bargains with a mouse or a malicious program it is gotten into the room, and the female stands around screaming, is he purely being courteous? Why could the reproductive-evolution-based choose for a guy to teach that he will take care of his woman be "ineffective"? Are women folk going to end wearing lipstick, too?

...I remember when I was doing poorly in school...

...I remember when I wasn't doing well in school..

...I remember when my grades were poor...

...I remember when my grades were bad...

I'm sure all of you are wonderful people, but please don't become English teachers....

"just barely getting by," while not inherently wrong, would be considered poor form in formal writing...


"when i was doing not very well in school" has a dangling modifier... instead use "...when I was not doing very well in school..."
