Why GPA Is Low In High School
The reason why my GPA is low was because of my life conditions. At the time of my school education about half way in it, I was having issues in my marriage that later it lead to a divorce that dreaded on awhile and because of that, I also had a hard time to keep up with my bills, which caused me to be severe depressed, sad, and anxious. Which also caused a decrease in attention/focus on my education in school. I really had a hard time to get back into my books and to stay focus in school. If it wasn't for the support from Brown Mackie College Professors to understand my situation, and to help me stay focus I would have never been able to complete my education at Brown Mackie.

    Module 7: Elementry School Analysis

    Most of the time when a person has a 4.0 GPA it is figured that that person is smart maybe doesn’t have to work hard for their grades, and probably a good test taker. Let me be the first to say this is not the case for me. In elementry school I read at grade levels far below where I was at, struggled with any sort of test, but especially timed math tests, and my grades reflected it. In fifth grade I was tested and scored at a second grade reading level, and I could not get passed the addition timed tests. Although I have never been formally diagnosed, I struggle with test anxiety. The problem with this is grades are greatly impacted on test scores.…

    Reasons Why I Have 2 F's For My Grade

    The reason why I have two F’s for my grade is because I log back into my Virginia student account after the drop and add period after I was withdrawn from the classes. By me doing so I was automatic back in those classes without knowing and that’s why I received those grades. In my defense I can say that based on my grades from Jones college, Grand Canyon University and Northcentral University I’m not a F student and I’m capable of passing my classes.…

    UCL A: How Our Mistakes That Changed My Life

    Since I was little, I always wanted to attend UCLA but I knew my grades weren’t fit for the school.UCL A is a school for the book smart kids and I knew it wasn’t the perfect match for me. I have a way of always dreaming but never actually take it seriously nor make it happen. Then I get mad when I miss opportunities or I can’t sign up because of my grades. It really hit me when I got my SAT score, I received a 870 but on my PSAT I received a 840. Only thirty points up I was so upset I thought I did good but I didn’t. I failed the math part basically and I wanted…

    GPA: My Life Outside Of High School

    Throughout my four years of high school I have always kept my grades up and I am very proud to say that I have maintained a GPA of a 3.6 and above. I have made honor roll all in all my semesters here at LHS. Getting good grades was never really a struggle for me until I got in the harder math classes like AP Statistics and Precalculus. Those were the only classes I struggled with because it takes me more time to comprehend the formulas and understand how to put them into practical use. But no matter what class I have taken I have always learned something new or something different that applies to not only my schoolwork but also the outside world. Knowing all of this knowledge will definitely help in my everyday life outside of highschool…

    Why Grit Is Important

    I had decent grades during freshman year, but as I started taking more and more ap classes and harder classes, I couldn’t keep up. It’s not that I couldn’t keep up, I was just too tired to keep up. The work piled up and my grades were going down. This trend would continue throughout junior and senior year. I managed to pass my classes, but at Lowell, that’s not enough to go anywhere.…

    Personal Narrative: My Life As A Medicine

    I started my first year of college with my life prearranged. I had a ridiculous notion that everything was going to be a piece of cake. I was going to join different clubs, do lots of research, make the dean’s list, make my parents proud and attend as many parties as I could. However, now when I look back, I realized that I was too comfortable in my life. I thought I was ready to overcome every obstacle that was thrust upon me but I was sadly mistaken. College was a culture shock. I concluded that college is an entirely different universe, then high school. My GPA dropped for the first time in my life from a 3.7 in high school to a 2.8. The decline in my GPA made me realize that my journey to becoming a doctor is not always going to be easy. It made me hunger to go to medical school even more, to overcome the academic and emotional hurdles, and…

    Reflective Essay: Entering Into The Fall Of High School

    I, Kourtney Brooks, am writing to you in hopes that the decision of me being ineligible for financial aid due to not maintaining a cumulative GPA of 2.0 can be appealed due to extenuating circumstances. Entering into the spring semester, due to my performance in the Fall I knew there was a lot of work to be done. In the Fall, after being out of college for a few years I had to get acclimated to working and going to school full time, not to mention online schooling, which is something I hadn’t experienced before, but due to having to work to take care of myself I made the decision to try it because I know in order to truly excel in life I have to further my education. Nonetheless, I went into the spring semester a stronger student due to the mistakes in the semester that instilled the strength and…

    bad GPA

    Getting a low grade points average "GPA" in college could have major negative effects on the future of a student and lead to adverse outcomes, especially for those candidates that are planning to attend graduate school, use high GPA level as a mean to secure governmental or private financial aid, or even for those that are looking to join the workforce. Most graduate studies have a list of requirements to accept candidates to their schools, including a minimum GPA, letter of recommendations, and a minimum GMAT or GRE test scores. Indeed, the majority of schools require a minimum GPA of 3.0 to be accepted to their programs, As a result, students who have low grades are less likely to gain admission to major or top ranked schools. On the other hand, schools that usually accept students with low grades they are most likely second- and third-tier institutions and a degree from them may not carry the same prestige as one from a first-rate universities. College scholarships are often tied up to grades, and students that fail to maintain a good GPA can lose scholarship money and even financial aid. Some states offer free or discounted tuition to students who maintain reasonably high grades. Although financial aid will allow students a grace period of a semester to bring up their grades, a lower grade can trigger financial issues and leave students scrambling for money to cover tuition. The most important effect of getting a bad GPA is the difficulty to get a job fresh-out of college. Nowadays, most employers that recruit recent graduates require a minimum GPA, especially if you are applying for technical openings. Certain employers may even favor recruiting recent graduates from certain programs or schools over others. Indeed, depending on the employer and for these type of candidates, GPA requirements may range anywhere between 2.8 and 3.5 or even higher. School names as well as the overall GPA give the employer a general idea and a warm fuzzy feeling on the intellectual…

    Personal Narrative: First Find Yourself

    I set a goal for myself, which was to improve my overall GPA each quarter. Slowly, but surely, I was getting better grades and boosting my GPA. Junior year was my best year academically. I set more academic goals for myself. I stayed on top of my work and in the end it paid off because I was able to exceed my goal. My GPA has increased vastly since the start of freshman year, but I silently thought to myself: “If I’ve made it this far academically, why not end high school with an even greater GPA?” I know I have the potential to increase my cumulative GPA to a 3.5, and I am currently striving to achieve this goal with high hopes. I learned very valuable lessons throughout my journey of high school. Not all mistakes made are necessarily bad. Many life lessons come from the mistakes we make. If you fall, get back up on your feet and go the extra mile because it will help you in the end to get to where you want to go. I now know why my parents and teachers instilled in me the concept of learning from your own mistakes. My mistake was taking freshman year lightly. Although it is too late to go back and redo the start of freshman year, all I can do is continue to put time and effort into my school work. I intend to focus on a smooth transition from high school into college, setting analogous goals for myself.…

    GPA Strengths And Weaknesses

    First and foremost, I do sincerely believe that a GPA does not define who a person is or their capability of such things. I believe that it is just a number that does not define any one's weaknesses or strengths. Throughout high school, I tried to maintain my grades at a certain level. I tried my hardest not to have any F’s, C’s, and I tried to minimize any B’s on my report card. In order for my grades to be maintained in the way I wish they were, I had to apply and utilize support I was offered for the classes I needed the most help in. An example would be when I missed the first two weeks of the school year. It was a hectic time because I had to put my one hundred and ten percent in everything to catch up on school work. Even though I am…
