Grades Update
I struggle with math and science, which has brought my GPA down to 2.5 out of 4.
I don’t plan on attending college right after high school—at least not in the immediate future. Just curious if this will have any negative effects down the line. What do you think?

It’s understandable to feel concerned about your GPA, especially when it comes to future opportunities. However, it’s important to remember that grades aren’t the only thing that define your potential or your path forward. Many people have found success in various fields without a perfect GPA.
If you’re not planning to go to school right away, this can be a great time to explore other interests, gain work experience, or consider vocational training, which can be equally valuable. Additionally, if you do decide to pursue higher education later, there are many programs that offer support to students who may not have the strongest academic backgrounds.
Focus on developing skills, building a portfolio, or engaging in activities that you’re passionate about. Networking and real-world experience can often be just as important as grades. Keep your head up, and remember that there are many paths to success!
