I try so hard but just can't do it and that's what is bugging me alot...that all my friends had 4.0 GPA and I don't!!

Answer 1

I didn't have a 4.0, more like a 3.6 through high school, college, and graduate school, but I still graduated from college with highest honors and I'm getting a PhD.

Answer 2

No, you don't have to have a 4.0 GPA in order to succeed in life.  When applying to colleges, they look more at factors such as character, GPA, essays, and recommendations than grades alone.  So, if you are really worried, volunteer and join some more clubs to increase your chances of getting accepted to your dream school!
