Well this year I'm going to a sophomore and last year I was freshman and I did extremely horrible. I passed 4 of my 6 classes and I passed those 4 classes by 70-75, and I probably didn’t learn anything. And this year I want to make a difference, because my neighbor had the same grades I have and he dropout and now he's at works wal-mart and I don’t want to end up like him. So can you guys give me good tips on how I can do better in my next 3 years so I can at least get a scholarship and get into a four-year college?
*Side Notes*
I don’t play any sports.
Going to summer school doesn’t give you grade points only credits. (Already made up 1 class)
Need 24 to graduate
I want to be some type of engineer but I'm not good at math.
Don’t give me a useless answers like “work and study hard” I need actual advice.

an EXCELLENT book for you is "Becoming A Master Student." It has both study methods and personal development. Buy it on Alibris.com or other online book seller.
You will be unhappy as an engineer, even if you can force yourself to learn the math. Find a major you love. You will find a way to make a living at what ever that is.

Pay attention when the teacher is talking lol, i didnt now i do. I failed my freshman year. Then i went to a charter school to catch up, i went there with 3 credits at the beggining of the year and now i have 14 at the end. Those schools help and maybe if your in extra events as football, and you think about anything other than school work where it distracts you..you shouldnt do it, becuase highschool is the years you really need to be aware of.
hope you get back on track=]

Well first off u need to manage your time sufficiently. You need to really want to get good grades in order to get the, dont just say wanna do better. Each class you take this coming semester try to use your resources...By that I mean work with some of the students who pay close attention and answer lots of question. They may be able to help you outside of the class. also when class is over- dont be the first to leave, stick around and talk to the professor to sort out any misunderstandings from that days lesson and also and for any additional help with homework, test, or quizzes
