To be fair, you really shouldn't fail High School for any reason as long as you show up to class and put in the minimum effort on your work. You almost kind of have to try to flunk a class.I was a straight C student, I got a C in everything every time. I didn’t study a lot and didn’t care. I used to think I was a special boy who was smart and slipped through the cracks because of apathy or something.
I was wrong, 99% of people who believe this are wrong. I just didn’t apply myself, I didn’t try and I didn’t know how academically gifted I was or could be.
I tried in college and I struggled, but I graduated with a good degree. I matured and actually tried for once and in doing so I realised there are levels to everything, I struggled deeply with advanced mathematics and other people just breezed through it, they were the smart people.
TL;DR
Not everyone who gets bad grades is stupid, but you probably are and you don’t know if you’re smart or not unless you apply yourself. There’s always that one in a million kid who’s gifted but it isn’t you and it certainly isn’t Patrick Tomlinson.
