I'm doomed

AlphaPheonix4720 June 16th, 2020

I used to be a straight-A student. I had great grades. Everything was going great. But this year I started fallng behind in math. And then covid happened. My family went to another country that had better healthcare and stuff, so I was stuck away from school which meant I missed a lot of material, and couldn't keep up with any of my subjects. Then the school closed down and started using managebac (stupid thing) which I can't navigate in. So I was stuck with no proper way to know what my classmates were stufying, and because of timezones and my family going on holidays and such, I even missed exams, giving me lower grades than I've ever had before. E's in 3 subjects and B's in the rest. And these are the grades that future universities and things will look at. I. am. doomed. I don't know how to fix this. Now, I'll be behind at the start of next year, struggling to play catch-up when I used to be the best-scoring one there. The whole situation seems to be against me.

I'm certain you're not doomed.

I would start by emailing each of your intructors to plan a video call (or a phone call, at least) to talk about how you can best spend the rest of your time in school. Also reach out to an advisor at your school, though in my experience advisors at high schools are not particularly useful. The instructors themselves have power. Take notes during your meetings so you have a list of what your options are.

This isn't your fault. Reach out to your professers and tell them about your time zone issue and anything you are feeling. I'm sure they will be happy to help, and I hope that things start to turn around soon.
