Hi, julie<br /><br />i can't imagine you getting c's and D's. In my second year at university I received a D from a prof I really wanted to do well with. When he handed my paper back, he said, "I expected better from you." That changed me. &nbsp;Eventually, in my fourth year, I received an A, my only A from him. The moral of the story is: sometimes it takes somebody else to see what we can do. Believe me, you can do it. If you can master English and a different culture, you can do anything. For the smart and the talented, there are no failures in life, only setbacks.<br /><br />George
