What to do?

Ok, sooo im like stuck. Im Super smart and i have alot of potential but i dont do anything about it. My grades suck, i had a 3.2 first semester freshman year 2.4 2nd and 2.17 first sem sophmore year... I really really want to get better grades. I stay strong for about a week but then after that i just give up... Sythe i need some help.... 4th quarter starts this coming monday and i need to step it up... i want to get into ASU and i live in arizona but i dont know how i can do that with my grades please tell me if i can still get in and what i need to do to do so.

 

If you really want to get into ASU, you need to use that as your motivation to get your grades up. You also need to really impress your teachers since they'll be writing your letters of recommendation. Getting involved in extra-curricular academic activities also looks great on a college application.

I'm not sure if anyone here can help you. Getting the motivation to work hard towards your college life and your career needs to come from inside you. Get those grades up, get strong recommendation letters, and show ASU that you want to be there.

 

im on the good side of most of my teachers. They all know that im really smart and i have potential i just cant get any motivation. I care alot but i just forget and go back to my old ways every time i try. Im in choir and tons of sports so i have alot of extra-curricular activites covered.

 

Then look at it as an ultimatum: either you get your grades up and go on to ASU, or you let your grades slip and ASU looks at them and says "that kid is not our type." You're almost done, make that last year count.

 

ok, thanks for the advice do you think like a 3.2-3.6 would be a decent gpa? Im in 3 honors classes btw

 

Yes, as long as it is above 3 it should be fine. Don't shoot for a 3.2 though, shoot for a 4.0.

Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss you'll land amongst the stars.

 

^awesome advice right there. Make that last year count!

 

See if you can take online classes to re-do the classes you got C's in. I suggest you take the time you spend playing games or going out, and put it into your studying, your friends are fun and all, but when you need money in the future, you need to support yourself, they aren't gonna be there, your born alone and you die alone, put time into your life to make it better, remember, todays works, pays for tomorrows meal.
