Congratulations. You are *almost* not a failure. Archive: https://archive.today/y8Dtf From the post: "At Vista PEAK Preparatory school in Aurora, students are encouraged to think about their post-high school future. But even for dedicated students, that reality may not set in until junior or senior year. Unfortunately by then, many students are playing catch up, Principal Jason Maclin said. “A lot of students when you talk to them, especially in that 11th and 12th grade year, a very common response is, I wish I would have taken ninth and tenth grade more seriously,” Maclin said."
