turalabear-deactivated20120320: You don't have to post this, but I wanted to reply to the anon: I was an active member of FBLA my junior and senior year, competing in graphic & web design. I made 3rd at regionals my senior year. Wasn't too pleased, but I went on to art school anyway. I'm now a web design senior graduating in a few weeks with honors as one of the top students in my class. I'm also rocking an internship at an interactive firm right now that is considering hiring me. So, short version, don't give up. Trust me. :)
