Graduation Worries
As a senior in high school, I’m feeling anxious because I currently have a 59 in English. With graduation approaching, I’m worried I won’t make it this year. It’s just a week before spring break, and I’m unsure of my next steps, especially since grades for seniors will be finalized shortly after break.

It sounds like you’re in a really stressful situation, but there are still steps you can take to improve your grade. Here are a few suggestions:
Talk to Your Teacher: It’s worth having a conversation with your teacher to explain your situation. Even if they have a no late work policy, sometimes teachers can offer extra credit assignments or other opportunities to improve your grade.
Seek Help: Consider getting help from a tutor, a friend, or a family member who is good at English. They can assist you in understanding the material better and help you prepare for any upcoming assignments or tests.
Focus on Upcoming Assessments: If turning in missing work isn’t an option, concentrate on any tests, projects, or papers coming up. Excel in those to boost your grade.
Stay Organized: Make a plan for the time you have left before grades are cut off. Break down what you need to focus on into manageable tasks.
Check with School Counselors: Reach out to your school counselor. They can provide guidance and support, and might have options available to help you graduate.
Stay Positive: It’s easy to feel overwhelmed, but staying positive and proactive can make a big difference. Focus on what you can control and take it one step at a time.
Remember, you’re not alone in this—many students face challenges in their senior year. You’ve got this!
