Question

my mother and i have been arguin for hte past few years about how i dont work hard enough. Well it isnt till recently that i want to work hard; however, i already screwed up my freshem and sophmore year. Is it too late if i start workin hard my junior and senior year? Also...my mother wants me to work on my resume, but i dont know where i should begin.

Answer 1

no its not over, if you plan on going to grad school, you don't need to go to a great undergrad college. you can try for that high grade and try to impress the admissions officers

Answer 2

Most colleges look at your most recent performance instead of freshman and sophomore year. My friend got into a great school even though she had some problems in her first two years of high school. You'll be able to get into some school that you want. Resumes don't really matter when you are applying for colleges. They only really start to count when you look for jobs beyond college. I am betting that right now you probably don't have a lot to put on a resume since you aren't in college yet.

Answer 3

Well colleges start looking in your junior year, so keep the hard work up. And even if you don't get into the BEST college its not the end of the world. As long as you work hard, do homework, and try your best you should get into a good college. Even a mediocre college will be good enough to get a good job. Good Luck!! =)

Answer 4

it's never too late to work on better grades. you only write a resume after you've had some work experience. your transcript will serve until then. you don't have to get into the best college. lots of colleges can give you an excellent education. you get out of it as much as you put into it. if you work hard to learn all you can, you'll still be able to get a good job.

Answer 5

It is never too late to get serious about school. It doesn't help that you let time pass without really learning, but you can always catch up.
