I’ll jump in on this one. JC, your scholastic endeavors are more important then anything else in your school life right now. As I stated in a previous post regarding your swimming, what you put into the pool today, you get to cash that check in future meets. The same applies to your school work. Whatever you put into your studies today, you will prosper in the future. Since I do not know the reasoning behind your not being allowed to swim (due to grades) or the severity of this issue, I am going to take a general approach in my suggestions.
• In the event you find yourself behind in class, reach out for your parents and teachers help. DO THAT NOW!
• Talk to your counselors and find out what type help is available to you. DO THAT NOW!
• In the event this is a discipline problem, get tough and buckle down to the task and strive to improve your grades through hard work. In the event you cannot find the discipline to sit down and do your homework, immediately seek out professional counseling in your school or church. Possibly and underlying problem or event is occupying your mind right now and that may be negatively impacting your grades and studies.
Keep your chin up JC and set a plan in motion with your parents, coach, Pastor and teachers to improve your grades. Keep us posted on your progress.
Kindest regards,
Tom Ellison
