Most graduate schools require a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0 or 3.5.
Additionally, most graduate admission committees will look favorably upon improved grades over time. And most admissions committees will be most interested in a student's grades in their major, if that major is their intended subject of graduate level study.
So as long as minimum GPA requirements are met, and your grades show improvement over time, your poor grades in your freshman year (especially if they are in subjects outside of your major) should not seriously impact your viability as a potential candidate for graduate study.
I wish you every success.

Its possible, but if you get decent grades the rest of your high school career then you will probably be alright. It might be a good idea to take the class over again in summer school. I did that when I got a C in algebra one year. Even though you already passed the course it will show some initiative and will look good if you are able to ace the class in summer school.

NO!!! I got 2 C's and a D within my first year of college. The key is to just make sure you keep them to a minimum. Most colleges realize that it takes awhile to get used to it and won't look to badly on it, as long as it is early enough. I'm graduating in June and I got into a really good college in the UK and it's paid for, C's and all. Just make sure your classes within your major and your last 2 years are as blemish free as possible. That's what they really look at.

Relax. They look at your overall GPA (and possibly the group of classes that relate to the subject you're applying for).

your final GPA is what they will look at, not year by year
