    Don't worry about college yet. Your so far off. These grades are all excellent, just make sure you carry these habits on into high school. Colleges never see your middle school grades, so now's the time to start creating solid work habits and preparing for freshman year.

    These are straight A's so you'd be looking at a minimum of a 4.0 gpa which would get you into pretty much anywhere if you do well on your standardized. My advice would be just enjoy middle school, and really start worrying about college freshman year.

  • just keep it up in high school
