hey, i asked a question before about the whole tutor thing and not being sure about what people would say... i have another thing that brings me down. i just went to freshman orientation and everyone was looking at eachothers schedules and i learned that all of my friends are in honors classes and i'm the only one in CP classes. and i'm not exaggerating when i say all of my friends i do mean ALL of my friends. this might sound really consited and selfish but I'M the one that has the higher goals in life and I'M the one that wants to have a great future and they mostly just throw their lives away focusing on boys and partying. the majority of them just want to become like a hair dresser or something like that and i'm the only one that wants to do something great and that's goint to help people I'M the one that wants to be a doctor. why can't I have the good grades??? i'm the one that needs it! i want to be a doctor while all my other friends hardly even want to plan their future! i find this totaly unfair! i feel so stupid sometimes and i just want to sit and cry. what can i do to make myself feel better about all of this!?PLEASE help i rate high!

Wanting to be a doctor doesn't make you all high + mighty + able to have things just handed to you, you know. Don't start saying, oh well, so and so just wants to be a hairdresser and *I* want to be a doctor, so I should be in honors classes because I'm just so much better. Um, no. Honestly, you're probably not ready to be in honors classes and your grades'll be better if you stick to regular ones. Good grades in normal classes are worth more than crappy ones in honors classes, you know. But you have to WORK for your grades, don't expect to have them handed to you. If you put the work in, I can almost guarantee you your grades'll be fine. Oh, and hairdressers DO help people, you know .. I don't have a clue what I would do without mine =)

Just start working super hard and if your grades improve, maybe next year you'll be ready for some honors classes =).

Haha .. I
