[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thank you everyone. Some great suggestions and words of encouragement. I promise to provide positive feedback on other's threads going forward! [/quote]
I want to chime in and share that you might see a ton of growth this year.
I have a senior who after freshman year had Cs in all core subjects - and a B in PE!  
It was COVID year - but we could not imagine a path through High School.  Thankfully grading policy that year all of those Cs became Ps and did not impact GPA.
Sophomore year - a few things clicked and there was not as much despair
Junior year - not perfect (wish he handed in more physics homework) but pulled GPA up to over a 3.5
We really thought in the fall of Junior year he was heading to a gap year or prep school for a year to learn study skills and mature a little- now looking at a selection of schools of which some are pretty selective.
I also never would have guessed that he likes writing - including writing poetry!

It is hard when we look around and see all of these teenagers doing amazing things and not compare - but when we are able to enjoy the kid we have - it can be pretty awesome.[/quote]
