I failed a random "Children's Literature" course I was thrown into last minute (schedule issues) my first semester in college. It was a hard time because my best friend/twin brother left for the Marines and I was devastated and not in a good place. Anyway since then I've been getting almost perfect grades! I turned it around by sophomore year and was on track. Like I said, very very strong upward trend. My gpa would be perfect without that freshmen year.

Any thoughts?
