First having C just shows you either have poor study habits, or you are a poor test taker. One of the smartest people I know, just can't do good on a test. He can in a converstation, know everything on a test and he will not past a written test if he wanted to. No idea why,
But talented does not mean making good grades, not sure who ever told you that. One of the most talented musicians I ever knew from LA. Could not read and write, but he was so talented in music.
Many people who make A and B, are not talented, they just study twice as much as anyone else, they may wake up two hours earlier than they have to. Same with people who do gym, or martial arts. I just got done with a two hour work out this morning, it is now 8 am. My family is still sound asleep, but I do this to stay in shape, my students at the studio never see me practice and say how talented, no, just years and hours of hard work.
And guess what, except maybe to help get into some colleges, when you graduate, no one asks, where you a student or a C student, they ask did you graduate high school, that is it.
